PREZIOSA Dining times October?

[honey1111]

This is our first cruise, we will be sailing on the Preziosa in October with our son who will be 16 and daughter who will be 13. I'm not sure which will suit us best, any advice?

Please could someone let me know the early and late dining times are, our TA booked us for the later seating but was not sure what time the late seating is!

Thanks in advance:)

Dinner times depend on the itinerary, region your sailing in and the season, so difficult to predict with precision. However assuming you're sailing in the Med, late sitting is likely to start between 8.30 and 9.00.

 

Which suiting is best is really down to personal preferences. I always go for second, even when it is as late as 9.45 (South American sailings). I'm not an early riser when on holiday so don't want to got to bed early. I like time to chill out for a bit after I get back from port. Maybe go to the spa or sunbathe or read or whatever. Then have plenty time to shower and change before dinner. Also like time for a pre dinner drink. For me, often with sailing times as late as 17.00 or even 18.00, first sitting is just to much of. Rush to get ready for and also too early for me to eat. (I almost never eat before 7 or later at home).

 

Other people who want to be up and about early and perhaps off the ship at 8, don't want to be eating late the night before.

Thanks for your quick reply AmoMondo,

Yes I like the idea of relaxing after a busy day sightseeing before dinner, so I think we will go on the later seating.

You'r welcome. You will allways find something to eat and don't miss the pizza and and the ethnic corner in the Buffet. Delicious food. The buffet restaurant is huge but and get crowdy from time to time but head for the aft section, allways tables available and much quieter back there. We had a great cruise on the Preziosa, it's a lovely ship. Very big but still intimate and the atmosphere onboard is so nice. I also recommend the Galaxy Speciality Restaurant with the best views onboard. Great food as well. :)

 

Have a nice first cruise :)
