Open Seating - Destiny

[Hawaii697]

Can anyone tell me if you miss your seating time at 5:30 (ex.), would you be allowed to sit a later time, say 6:00 (ex)? Thanks for your help with this matter.

In general, no.

 

You have an assigned table and an assigned time.

 

If it *does* happen, you can always ask the Maitre'D to see if he can "fit you in." I wouldn't recommend making a regular practice of it.

 

At the worst, there's always alternative dining at the lido buffet.

 

Eleven cruises so far. Up next:

Perhaps something else as well. Watch this space.

 

Dance like it hurts, love like you need money, and work when somebody's watching.

I guess you'd have to ask the Maitre d' about that. They pretty well have the assignments done to fill the dining rooms at your assigned times. Would be kinda a mixed up mess if a lot of folks missed their times.

 

BTW, most ships have 5:45 and 6:15 for early seating, and 8:00 and 8:30 for late.

I doubt very much whether you'd be able to come at a later time. Tables are usually filled and you'd be at someone elses table when they arrived. I know from past experience, the waiters have to really go into second gear when someone even shows up late. Seems so inconsiderate. If your time is 6:00 - be there no later than 6:00 - or do the pizza or something other than the main dining room for that meal.

Thanks for the info. I was a bit confused. I assumed since the first night (not remaining nights) was not assigned seating, it wouldn't be a problem.

Hi again. The first night IS assigned seating. Somebody's giving you misinformation. Stick with us, kiddo, and you'll get all the facts!
