Infinity Select Dining on 2 Nighter

[Teacherloves2Cruise]

Hi everyone,

 

We board Infinity for a quick taste next weekend for 2 nights. We have Select dining. I was originally thinking it would be a good choice to go with that and not make reservations because we are going to want to be flexible depending on the activities and shows and push the envelope in terms of activities due to only being 2 nights. Now, I am second guessing myself. How does select work- should I have made reservations? Do they have monitors like other lines showing the wait at various venues? Beepers if there is a wait? If anyone could share some insight I would appreciate it. If you think we should make reservations, what are good times to not miss stuff? Thanks for being patient with me. It’s been awhile since I have sailed X.

In our experience with Select dining you show up when you want and get seated pretty quickly.  There is a separate area of the MDR for Select so there isn't usually a bottle neck with those with fixed dining.  We haven't ever really had to wait so perhaps we have just been lucky.  I can't remember if they give a pager in the event of a wait or not.  I think you will be fine with select dining.

They will give you a beeper if you have to wait. The infusion bar, cellar masters, and martini bar are all close to the dining room and you can wait there.

Infusion bar? I am not familiar with that one. Do they have it on Infinity?

We never make reservations for select dining; we just show up.  Now, we tend to eat later, but we feel it defeats the purpose of anytime dining to make reservations, and we have never had a wait of more than a few minutes.

 

Stop back on the roll call to catch up.  We can't wait wait!

It is the M class version of world class bar. It’s opposite from café al baccio and has craft cocktails only, and in my experience the best and most fun bartenders.

Didn’t see that in the deck plans. Will check it out for sure!
