Actually timing of Traditional Dining?

[susancruzs]

I book early traditional and the 5:00 has been 5:30 but my Oct. cruise on the Sapphire was 5:45.  I don't like eating later, 5 is a tad early but so far I haven't had that time.  I'm going on a Baltic cruise this summer, hope early isn't 5 but we'll see.

You wonder why they list dining times on the Princess site and on passenger's bookings at 5 and 7:15 if the actual dining times onboard are a half hour later ? 😕

Dining times are listed when the cruise is initially posted for sale which is usually more than a year in advance of embarkation.

 

Actual dining times may not be set until within the month before embarkation.

 

This is true of other cruise lines also.

 

So you must just consider the times a place holder for early/late seating.

If the dining times are not changed prior to boarding , can we count on these times or might we only find out that there has been a change upon boarding ?

Yes.
