First Seating Dinner Times on Fantasia?

[joseph123]

Can't find anywhere exactly what time first and second seating dinner for my upcoming Fantasia Mediterranean cruise is. I am currently scheduled for first seating dinner and also wondering if it is easy to request second seating for a party of 4 once onboard, anyone have any experience with this? Just have the least expensive Bella balcony cabin booked.

We was on the Fantasia in Feb. The times were 6.30pm and 9pm. Sometimes these change slightly depending on itinerary and location. But, because the majority of passengers are European the second sitting the most popular - you will have to enquire once on board and keep your fingers crossed

From my last 2 med cruises with MSC, early dinner in summer times is 7.30pm. I haven't sailed with them for 3 years now but I did ask our MSC agent and he agrees that I is around the 7/7.30pm time.

Sorry meant to add that if you would like to change to the later seating that you just need to go see the maître D outside the restaurant immediately after boarding. The earlier you get there, the more accommodating he can be. If you speak to concierge, they will inform you on which restaurant he will be at.

Interesting, that it could be as late as 7 to 7:30. If so that would be perfect for me. Can anyone out there on a recent Fantasia cruise confirm? I will be sailing on May 15 out of Genoa.

May isn't really classed as summer in the Med :(

Hi, we're going on the Fantasia in August and I asked this question. MSC e-mailed back saying probably dining opens from 6.30
