gridswaldtravlers Posted July 16, 2009 #1 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Is Main seating or Late seating better in Alaska( May 2010)? I just mean for getting around and getting my monies worth in port. Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogi2929 Posted July 16, 2009 #2 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Dinner times are at 6 & 8:15. What time does the ship leave each port? That should answer your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted July 16, 2009 #3 Share Posted July 16, 2009 We have always done late seating. Just for the reason you stated....ports. We very much enjoy the MDR and the ports and don't want to cut either short by having to get back early in order to meet the early seating time.

Rare jimbo5544 Posted July 16, 2009 #4 Share Posted July 16, 2009 The only point I would make going in the other direction, is that when in the Carib., having late seating might make you miss those wonderful sunsets (depending on what time if year you cruise).

gridswaldtravlers Posted July 16, 2009 Author #5 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Heys guys, Thanks for your help all very good reasons. I would have to come back from (1) port early, so I think I will stick with late seating. But thanks again It's alaska so sunset would be a issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red lobster Posted July 16, 2009 #6 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I would recommend the late also, except with the big time change difference we did feel like we were eating at 11:00 instead of 8:00. We went to Alaska in August and it was still daylight even late at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie05 Posted July 16, 2009 #7 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I would recommend early. You will be hungry. (think time difference) Yes, I know there are things to eat... :) But you don't stay up late on Alaskan cruises because (THOUGH - check your itineraries) we always docked very early in every port so we were getting off each morning 7-8 am because the ship left port (most) around 4-5 pm. I think I was in bed most nights 9-10 pm. Someone commented that it was the calmest ship they had ever been on - there was no night life. And this was a lady in her 60's.

gazingm42 Posted July 16, 2009 #8 Share Posted July 16, 2009 We normally like the early. But for Alaska the late is a must due to port times and the evening views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
