Dinner at 8:30 Shows at 10:30

We will be on the Oasis in May and have chosen the 8:30 dining option and selected 10:30 shows. Is that enough time to eat dinner then get to the shows without feeling rushed each evening? We were thinking of changing our dining option to MTD.

I don't know if I was foolish or not, but I have two 7:30-8:25 shows booked. :eek:

You know I might do the same thing. You know it's going to take a while to get everyone in the MDR anyway, so it's not going to matter if you are a little late for dinner.

You should have plenty of time. Dinner usually runs 1-1 1/2 hours long.

That's what I was thinking. And 'Come Fly with Me' is in the Opal Theater, very close. I am more nervous about Oasis of Dreams, but the late shows are already booked.

Good Afternoon:

We had the second seating at 8:30 and always had plenty of time to get to the 10:30 shows.

Enjoy your cruise!

We had 8:30 dining and no problem for either 7:30 or 10:30 shows. I do recommend making advance reservations and try to be at the venue 15 to 20 minutes before showtime (actually, we usually shot for 1/2 hour before showtime. This is especially important for the show at the AquaTheater if you want a "chair" vs "bench".) Tell your waiter at the beginning of dinner if you have a 10:30 show scheduled and, most likely, he will hustle things along for you. Our waiter did a great job of seeing we were out of MDR by 10:00 PM.

 

One last thing, check the dining time shown on your SeaPass as soon as you get it. We said we wanted 8:30 Dining and they gave us 9:00 PM Dining (yes, they have a 9:00 PM Seating). We went immediately to the MDR deck #4 and had it changed to 8:30. Do this immediately upon boarding if you have been assigned 9:00 PM. You will not make the shows with 9 PM seating.
