NJcruiser123 Posted October 28, 2009 #1 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Cruising on the pride next month with a 1 & 3 year old. Need opinions on Your Time Dining. Read mixed things. Had done freestyle on the NCL Dawn but they had like 6 restaurants so we ate at a different one each night. DIdn't bother us not to have the same staff but not sure if that would be better with the kids. Also if anyone has been in an obstructed balcony stateroom, does the door open. Read it does but only about a foot which is fine for me since with little ones we can get some air without having to worry about anyone going overboard. Thanks in advance!

emelvee Posted October 28, 2009 #2 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Was just on the Pride earlier this month...enjoy your cruise! Unfortunately, I can't speak about Your Time Dining; we prefer set dining time/early seating. And I've never heard about a balcony opening up only a foot. While the view may be obstructed (by a lifeboat), I wouldn't think the door would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did anytime dining and you can pick your time so that you get the same team every night if you are pleased with them. Our guys were great. Have a great cruise. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillPooh Posted October 28, 2009 #4 Share Posted October 28, 2009 We loved being able to dine whenever hunger struck, and would NEVER go back to traditional seatings. Your obstructed balcony designation refers to your view- looking straight down, you'll see a lifeboat. But your square footage itself is unchanged.

NJcruiser123 Posted October 28, 2009 Author #5 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Thanks for the info. The cabin we are in is 4126 which is on the main deck. When I googled it I came across this picture. The door opens into the cabin and there is a railing and lifeboat right there. out a foor but there is a railing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJcruiser123 Posted October 28, 2009 Author #6 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Forgot to post the category is a 4F (now a 4K) so you are only paying for an inside room. Because we had cruised before our carnival agent that we deal with was able to upgrade us to this room so we paid the inside price but have light and air.

Because we had cruised before our carnival agent that we deal with was able to upgrade us to this room so we paid the inside price but have light and air. In that case it's a pretty good deal. If it was what you got paying for a balcony guarantee, you'd have good cause to be pissed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJcruiser123 Posted October 29, 2009 Author #8 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Much better than an inside since we will be actually be able to tell the difference between day and night and can get some fresh air. Just didn't want to spend the money for the upgrade since the excursions can get pricey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
