bobmagg Posted February 28, 2008 #1 Share Posted February 28, 2008 From other threads about AWYD I read that you can make reservations by calling in the morning for that evening's meal. But how are we to be seated on the very first night. Does everyone just go down and wait?? Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentlemancruiser Posted February 28, 2008 #2 Share Posted February 28, 2008 When you first board your ship, head to the dining room and ask for a reservation for that evening.

Jemima Posted February 28, 2008 #3 Share Posted February 28, 2008 ASWD information will be either in items you receive when boarding or on the desk in your cabin. Reservations are made by phone. They only take reservations for early and late time slots. The early ones on the Ryndam were both before six (maybe 5:30 & 5:45, can't recall for sure). The later ones were, I think, eightish. Reservations are held for 15 minutes. You can arrive anytime during the dinner hours, but just can't reserve except for the earlier or later time slots. Many people don't reserve and seem to do fine.

Krazy Kruizers Posted February 28, 2008 #5 Share Posted February 28, 2008 There was a dining room staff member in the cruise terminal when we got on the Ryndam in November. You could request a time and table size at that time as just wait until you got on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammybee Posted February 28, 2008 #6 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Does everyone just go down and wait?? Bob That's what we did every night and there was no wait. Your mileage may vary. There is no way to predict how many passengers want to dine at the same time as you do or how many want private tables versus a willingness to share. In this way, there are far more similarities between fixed and open seating where lots of people do not get the fixed time, table size or location they want. It all depends on how many others want the same thing as you do, when you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
