Q: I’ve noticed on my planner there is no scheduled dinner on the first night. Will there be a dinner in the dining room on the first night? The other days on the planner have my early dining time scheduled at 6pm.

A: If you have early dining 6:00 on your check in paperwork then that is your dining time every night. It will only change if you selected any time dining. Dinner is served every night in the dining room. It’s your choice if you want to go to a specialt... y restaurant or the buffet. Sometimes on elegant nights they open the dining room a little earlier. Enjoy your trip.See More

A: Buffet of course. Pig & anchor is another option along with Big Chicken and Pizza Pirate and Blue Iguana Cantina or Guy’s Burger Joint.
Answered by Hans30 on August 3, 2023
A: Yes we are. We tend to avoid all of those on embarkation and breakfast because we are kind of crowd weary. I was hoping we could sit down for something instead of quick service. Thank you for the help!
