Just wanted to follow up about our flight. We had a great experience. We did pay for the seats right behind the middle class seats and it was well worth it. Tons of leg room. Having the swing out monitor was a little bit of a drag but it worked. Flights were on time and plane was clean and everyone was nice. We were worried about our flight home as SAS employees had announced a strike..... but we made it just fine. I would fly the airline again.

Thanks Found that for a Mediterranean cruise the early time is 7PM which is just fine with our group. I was just not wanting to have to eat at 5PM as the ship sails most days at 6PM

So does early dining on MSC have a specific time. I saw on Mediterranean cruises there seems to be at 7 PM which is not that bad since most days the ship sails at 6 PM. Does that mean we have to show up at 7? or is there a time range? We were not trying to get into a special dining spot with my brother, just were wanting a little flexibility in our eating times. Does the dinning place for the suite members have better food or something? Different menu?

its on the World Europa in November of this year out of Rome One member of the family booked a suite and the rest of us did ocean view rooms on a black friday sale I booked early dining -- does that mean I have to eat at 5:30 or are they flexible. I think my dad booked a set time dinning. Never cruised MSC so a little confused here.

So our family booked 4 cabins and some of us ended up with the any time dining option while others of us ended up with fixed time. We linked our reservations together in hopes that we could all get the any time but we were told that was not possible because of our different classes of tickets...... They said when we get on the ship we may be able to request to eat together at the non fixed time. We really don't want to have to rush back to the ship to eat early every night or too late......... Has anyone had any experience with this and how willing they are on the ship to accommodate us eating all together with the anytime parties?

Your guess is as good as mine. I am thinking it's a mix they already use onboard to make other rolls. May not be so easy to replicate this one.

So I Asked for a recipe for the Pumpkin Seed Rolls and they gave me this. I did my best at a conversion rate via excel but have included the original amounts Royal's recipe called for.
