DO you Choose Traditional or Anytime Dining?

I usually choose anytime because I don't necessarily eat at the same time every day ...what do you do?

I prefer 6 pm assigned dining. I don't like eating alone. I have met a lot of nice people as well. If I don't feel like showing up I don't. If I am at dinner and know I might not make it the next night I tell the people at the table so they know.

I would suggest that the parents and grandparents take turns dining with the toddler because it usually takes way too long in the dining rooms for any toddler to bear...

Always anytime dining. We don't want to be too regimented on holidays.

My husband and I always choose your time dining but since we will be traveling with a toddler and maybe grandparents, I'm thinking we should select a set time...what do you guys suggest?

I choose anytime drinking....I mean after all, if a fella is thirsty.... Oh wait, you said dining? Big Smile

We usually choose anytime dining because we never know what time we will be hungry on any given day. And on port days, we don't want to have to rush to make it to the mdr at a certain time.

To us it depends on the port times. On cruises that we will pull out port by 6 pm we will usually opt for early set time dining. If hungry later a quick stop at the buffet, promenade cafe/pub, or a call room service usually fills the need. For cruises when we are scheduled with an evening in port we will choose Any or My Time Dining just to have the option of enjoying a sit down service meal, regardless of what time we get back to the ship.

I think I chose the set time this time around. Having the same time is a routine and will help keep my BF in line lol. It is also what I am used to from my first crises with assign dinning.

We go with anytime timing. We like the flexibility.

I always do Assigned dining. I like the social aspect of getting to know table mates and the table staff. I tried NCL's free style and did not like it.
