spursfreak21 Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Hey everyone. I will be sailing on a 5 night cruise on Enchantment this summer. We make 2 stops in Mexico and have 2 days at sea. Taking into account the onboard activities - what is the best time to eat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayley_bopp Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 We went for 7:30 on a previous cruise and that seemed to work pretty well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melski94 Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 I think the best thing to do is look at previous cruise compasses here https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/cruise-compass?ship=289 There are always onboard activities but we don't know which onboard activities are important to you. For my family, we like making a reservation around 6:30. That way I feel we get a full afternoon by the pool without rushing to get ready for dinner. Yes there are some activities that I will miss for this time especially if there is only 1 show in the evening. If there is more than 1 headliner show, then it usually isn't a problem to see the 2nd show. However, if its a non-Oasis class ship, I can take or leave the evening show.

tiny260 Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 7-7:30 is my preferred time, but that is also peak time so there may be a wait, just like at land based restaurants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyB Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 We prefer somewhere between 6-6:30. Gives us time to enjoy the day/afternoon around the pool and then get ready for dinner and be able to see the show in the evening after dinner...But when I look at the past cruise compasses, if I see something we want to do, I might change it up a night or two. Definitely look at a past cruise compass, but remember that there might still be differences. If, when you get on your ship, you see something on your CC that you want and your MTD interferes with it, you can look at changing your dinner time that evening.

CruiseGus Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 we tend to book at opening hours and many many times the it seems the "No Reservation" line moves faster that the "have reservation line" beginning to wonder if it is even worth it to reserve a time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had MTD and did dinner anywhere between 6 and 730 depending on what activities we were doing. The later ones for port days so we didn't have to rush back to the ship and get ready for dinner and early ones if there was a particular show or activity we didn't want to miss. With MTD you can choose each night different if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
