Veinless Posted September 27, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 27, 2023 How/where can you see which MDRs are open for breakfast/lunch, and what times? The pamphlet only shows dinner times. On the Majestic currently. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We rarely go to the dining rooms for these two meals because we have found the menus to be limited and rather plain. We love the variety of foods and cuisines available on the buffet. Also, the International Cafe is always open and has nice selections of breakfast and lunch foods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One MDR will be open every sea day for lunch. The MDRs are normally not available on port days. If you can't find the information, ask at Guest Services. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, one MDR will be open for breakfast every single day. One MDR will be open for lunch every sea day. Generally speaking, IME, it's one of the midship dining rooms. And I'm be the same one for breakfast and lunch. Recheck the times on the back of the Daily Event Planner... (Unless you're on embarkation day, in which case - ask the maitre'd at the dining room or call DINE line or ask guest services, or wait for your next day's Planner. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprocket Posted September 27, 2023 #6 Share Posted September 27, 2023 The TV in your cabin will have the menus and which dining room is open for breakfast and lunch. The remote can take some getting used to accessing what you want and the menus may not be 100% accurate but very close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnesterz Posted September 27, 2023 #7 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Agree with finding times on the Daily Event Planner. It's not called the Patter anymore. As far as what's for lunch and dinner. The menu for lunch is posted outside the MDR where lunch is served. Outside one of the other MDR's, the dinner menu will be posted. The App has been know to be wrong. Go with the posted menu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will leave it on your bed at night or under tje door. Has all the activities and times every day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p.pete Posted September 27, 2023 #11 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Does the Patter, or whatever it might be now, still exist in printed format, or is it only viewable on the app? Where is it available if it can be obtained - first time on (Sky) Princess will be next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veinless Posted September 27, 2023 Author #13 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Next question - are there supposed to be separate lines for those with table reservations already set vs those without? Seems odd to have a 5pm reservation but need to queue up with folks that do not have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also make reservations for 5:20 or 5:40 to avoid the “scrum”. It can feel like an airport boarding gate at 5 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, they should also have a line with reservations and without reservations. Most of them do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reedprincess Posted September 27, 2023 #21 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Princess Event Listing. A change that was entirely unnecessary and didn't add anything to the marketing or daily planner or anything at all - except to make the name completely and totally unmemorable...

cubfan63 Posted September 27, 2023 #23 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Just got off Ruby Princess on Sunday and the paper was labeled as The Patter. On the Wake Show, the cruise director Cole said the Patter (which he also called as such) was a curated view of events and using the listings in the app would provide even more activities. I didn’t feel the need to bring copies of any Patter home. But it really was called the Patter from Sept 14-24, 2023 on the Ruby Princess, whether you believe me or not. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never noticed any breakfast foods not listed on the Main Dining Room breakfast menu. But I guess I am a very plain breakfast diner! I avoid the MDR for breakfast because it is far too leisurely for me. I go grab what I want at the buffet, eat and move along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike45LC Posted September 28, 2023 #25 Share Posted September 28, 2023 @Veinless, don't forget afternoon tea in one of the Main Dining Rooms. Check it out on a sea day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
