Traditional Enhanced Dining?

[dmlee1990]

I was just viewing some of the Princess Patters that were posted for the Golden Princess. I noticed that they have a Traditional Enhanced Dining First Seating in the Donatello dining room at 5:30 p.m. Then there's a Traditional Dining First Seating in the Cannaleto Dining room at 6:00 p.m. What is Traditional Enhanced Dining?

 

On my Cruise Personalizer, it says I have Traditional Dining at 5:30 p.m. confirmed. Does this mean I have Traditional Enhanced? Or is it a mistake and I have Traditional dining at 6:00 p.m. I'm a bit confused. Does anyone know what this means?

 

Thanks.

About a year ago Princess added a second early traditional seating to accommodate more passengers who prefer traditional first seating over traditional second seating. In the past first seating always created a waitlist. They were able to create the 5:30 dining by reserving a section in the anytime dining room for this group of passengers. My guess is that they also created a new name Traditional Enhanced to distinguish early first seating from early, early first seating so passengers would not be confused. However, it doesn’t seem to be working because you are confused.

If you are confirmed 5:30pm Traditional on the Golden, your Dining Room will be the Donatello on Deck 6. The Donatello does the 5:30 Traditional, then in converts to an Anytime Dining Room at 7:30pm. As Iamcruzin said, "Enhanced" was added to distinguish it from the 6:00 Traditional in the Cannaleto Dining Room. You'll get the exact same menu and experience in either Dining Room.

There is no difference between the 5:30 traditional dining and the 6:00 traditional dining other than the 5:30 is held in the anytime dining room and the 6:00 is held in the main dining room. Princess added the 5:30 dining time recently due to the popularity of first seating traditional dining.

Thanks, everyone! This clears up the confusion. The word "Enhanced" was puzzling. Appreciate your responses.
