Cruise'nMaMa Posted January 5, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Just boarded the Ruby. Our dining time is 5:15 Traditional Enhanced Dining. Not seen this one in all my Princess cruises. Our booking said 5pm when they made those dining time changes. Anyone know what it is? Regular Traditional is at 5 in another dining room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of discussion about the new times over the last few months. It's up to the individual ship and MD. They are almost always different once onboard.

Not sure exactly what you are asking. Are you wondering why your booking said 5 and the actual time was 5:15 or why yours is 5:15 and the other is 5? Or is it because the times are so early? (due to recent changes made fleet wide). Usually the mid ship early traditional opens 15 minutes before the traditional dining room in the stern. Sometimes they are 4:45 and 5:00, sometimes 5:00 and 5:15. Not unusual to have some variations depending upon ship and route.

Cruise'nMaMa Posted January 6, 2019 Author #8 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I was just asking if anyone knows what Traditional Enhanced is because I had not seen it and it is listed separate from Traditional. I’m well versed on the whole time issue. I will let you know if it is different or not after we go 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waltd Posted January 6, 2019 #16 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Could Traditional Enhanced Dining be Club Class Dining? We were just on the Ruby but did not see the term Enhanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were just on the Ruby but did not see the term Enhanced. Club Class was my first thought as well. No idea if that's not the answer though. Never had Club Class and never heard of the "enhanced" listing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XBGuy Posted January 6, 2019 #18 Share Posted January 6, 2019 This question is intriguing. With luck, the OP will give up some of her shipboard internet minutes, come back here and share with us what "Enhanced" dining is. Expiring minds want to know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victory2020 Posted January 6, 2019 #19 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Is late dining 7:15 or 7:30 (like it was last November)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted January 6, 2019 #20 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Just now, victory2020 said: Is late dining 7:15 or 7:30 (like it was last November)? Depends on the ship. They all seem to be different once onboard versus what Princess is telling everybody pre cruise. I have seen comments of 7:15, 7:30, 7:45 from posters who either finished their cruise or just off one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victory2020 Posted January 6, 2019 #21 Share Posted January 6, 2019 that's why I was asking on this tread - wanted to specifically know about the Ruby. Last November on the Ruby (second cruise with new dining times) it was 7:30. Will be back in a couple of weeks & would like to know if they've adjusted times at all.

DrivesLikeMario Posted January 6, 2019 #22 Share Posted January 6, 2019 OP - Can you ask while onboard and find out what "Enhanced" means? That is definitely new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MD can still change the times depending on the cruise/demographic so what's on one cruise may not be on the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDC1 Posted January 6, 2019 #25 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) On the Grand recently. They had also referred to the menu as enhanced. I took that to be due to their making some Crown grill or Crown Grill like items, on the menu for an added charge, since they were not using the term prior to the addition of the added charged items.
