Guest012 Posted March 7, 2007 #8 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Our dinner time was originally for six pm but was changed when we boarded.....maybe they will stick to the six pm start for your trip. Bon Voyage and safe journey to you. Have a great time:D cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransome Posted March 8, 2007 #9 Share Posted March 8, 2007 They usually make an announcement over the PA 15 minutes prior to the first seating. If it's the same guy who did the announcement on our cruise, they always end with "Bon Apetito" which brings a smile to my face just thinking about it now.

rplusr Posted March 8, 2007 #13 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Hi We just finished a cruise on the Star last Saturday (3/3) and the first dinner seating was 5.45 and the doors were shut at 6pm. Hope this helps Robyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuzzieCruiser Posted March 8, 2007 #14 Share Posted March 8, 2007 When we book we ask for the late seating (except Alaska where we actually wanted early, and couldn't change), and we end up with early, and have to end up getting the TA to change it!!:rolleyes: We find the late seating more appealing somehow. Only downside is if the early sitting runs over. We always seem to be the first table finished, yet amongst the last to leave.:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgard76 Posted March 8, 2007 #15 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I was on Star last August and had early sitting which was 5:45pm. I was quite disappointed as we missed all the sunsets and sailaway excitement because we were off getting ready for dinner. For my next cruise, I've booked late sitting, I hope that's better. Trevor.

Hope this helps Robyn Robyn, could you tell me what time second sitting was?? We are booked on that one and 8.30 seems a tad late:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransome Posted March 9, 2007 #17 Share Posted March 9, 2007 The second sitting is at 8.30pm, but the great thing about cruising is that time no longer matters. We always go for the late sitting; you aren't as rushed as they don't need to get you out to re-set for another sitting and you get to drink a relaxing cocktail on deck watching the sun set while the early sitting is inside eating their meals. We usually have a late lunch so we don't hungry waiting for an 8.30pm start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGB1969 Posted March 9, 2007 #18 Share Posted March 9, 2007 My recent south seas romance times were: 1st Sitting 5:45 (which i was on) 2nd Sitting 8:00 First sitting suited me because we could get ready in our room, go straight to dinner and walk out and straight into the Starlight lounge for the evening show. It seems to be a good order to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwichill Posted March 16, 2007 #19 Share Posted March 16, 2007 First sitting is at 6.30 pm. Nest one is at 8.30pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howsthis Posted March 17, 2007 #21 Share Posted March 17, 2007 On the Sun I am sure there was 2 sittings for early and 2 for late. 2 dining rooms of course, one at 5.45pm and the other half and hour or so later for the early and 7.45pm and 8.30 pm for the later. Something like that, I guess it was for the kitchen to cope, not sure. Anyone else remember it like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oztraveller Posted March 17, 2007 Author #24 Share Posted March 17, 2007 The dinner seatings on the Star were 5:45 and 8:00 (and they did ask you be there within 15 minutes after that time or you may be refused - they take your order pretty much as soon as you are seated - so I guess it is a bit hard if they have people arriving all the time) The food was lovely - will miss it and the great table service, back to doing dishes again too:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisss Posted March 18, 2007 #25 Share Posted March 18, 2007 How do you sign up for a dinner seating? Is this done once you're on the ship? Do you have to go to the same one every night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
