first day dinner

[Spence]

I'm sailing on the Radiance of the Seas and we leave the dock at 9pm. Should I get dinner before boarding, or will they serve on board that night?

they will feed you!!!:D you'll be able to board long before that....

Get on the ship ASAP...you're paid for the 1st day, and guess what...boarding day IS day one! If you wait until night time to board, you've wasted one whole day of the cruise you've paid for. USE THE SHIP!

You can board around 11am-12noon regardless of sailaway time (and regardless of what it says on your cruise documents - they always give a later time). Lunch will be served beginning at 12noon. Dinnertimes may be altered by 15 minutes or so from usual to accomodate the emergency drill, sailaway, etc, but it definitely will be served the first night.
