shipmeoff! Posted May 26, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Hi can anyone confirm the traditional set dining room on Westerdam - is it the upper or lower? Thanks so much. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted May 26, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I believe it is the upper dining room on ALL HAL ships. That being said, HAL has become flexible when demand for one type of dining is much higher than the other. So if you are in fixed dining, but the demand for open is high, you may see open dining pax in the upper level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haladdict Posted May 26, 2018 #3 Share Posted May 26, 2018 On the Westerdam 3 weeks ago, fixed was the upper level. As already mentioned, anytime diners were frequently brought up. Sandra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catl331 Posted May 26, 2018 #4 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I believe it is the upper dining room on ALL HAL ships.Except the Prinsendam, which has only one level. That being said, HAL has become flexible when demand for one type of dining is much higher than the other. So if you are in fixed dining, but the demand for open is high, you may see open dining pax in the upper level.On the Koningsdam Open and Fixed are mixed on both levels. We chose to go to the upper level for Open, but if that was too full I'm sure they would have taken us downstairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare *Miss G* Posted May 26, 2018 #5 Share Posted May 26, 2018 We were lower level fixed dining on the Koningsdam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonialinnkeeper Posted May 26, 2018 #6 Share Posted May 26, 2018 We were on the Koningsdam (several weeks after it was launched) on the upper level for traditional set time dining (late) with an area that was used for Anytime Dining. It made for a more frenetic, chaotic dining experience and we felt the service suffered for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandra Great thank you so much for the confirmation. I was pretty sure but wanted to be 100% on this one. Haven’t cruised HAL in a while and I know things are always subject to change.

CruiserBruce Posted May 26, 2018 #8 Share Posted May 26, 2018 We were lower level fixed dining on the Koningsdam. Probably because there was a lot of demand for fixed. On our last cruise on KDam, we were open seating on the upper level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAD2005 Posted May 26, 2018 #9 Share Posted May 26, 2018 If you want fixed (traditional) dining, go to a website halfacts dot com, select your ship and download the PDF of your MDR. Pick your favorite table numbers (select a few), and then send a request to the ship's coordinator for your ship, listing your specific table request. Call Ship's Services at HAL to find the Ship's Coordinator e-mail address. I have done this for many cruises, and have always gotten one of my desired tables.
