NY Cruiser19 Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 When rotational dinning officially coming to quantum of the seas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocLC Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 I don't have an answer for you, but wanted to clarify that it's dynamic dining. Rotational dining is something Disney Cruise Line does where you rotate through each of the restaraunts, visiting a different one each night. Dynamic dining allows you to experience different restaraunts, but you need to plan/reserve which ones you want to go to each night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 No word yet. Right now it's just Anthem. I expect official word to come down quite soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocLC Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I stand corrected. I just read Matt's post indicating that RCI will be implementing rotational dining similar to what Disney offers. Should be interesting to see how this works. While I haven't been on the Freedom class yet, I would suspect that unlike Disney, the complimentary restaraunts aren't all the same size, which will make coming up with a suitable schedule difficult.

Ok just wondering if or when they will implement it. Going on Quantum on April 5th so just wondering which one we will have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcarney Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Ok just wondering if or when they will implement it. Going on Quantum on April 5th so just wondering which one we will have. From what I've read elsewhere, which is based on on one presentation to travel agents by one RCI VP, this is going to be implemented on Anthem only at this time. Two new ships, two new "incubators" where they are trying out new concepts... I'll be honest, I'm kind of impressed that they're nimble enough to be able to pivot to a new dining plan so close to deployment.

mike Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 This will be interesting indeed. Given that the MDR is in itself a different theme each night, they may have found a compromise like I spoke of in another thread that is pleasing to all. If they can make sure parties of any reasonable size can still dine together I forsee this being pretty nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have all the details yet but my sense is this will be handled similar to how traditional dining and My Time Dining are handled on other ships.

jlynn222 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Can you go to more than one of these a day or will they have a windjammer too? Also will there be a main dining room and formal nights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Under Dynamic Dining, you can absolutely do more than one per day. I did that when I was on Quantum earlier...."for research" ;) No MDR on Quantum-class ships and no formal nights per se. The Grande restaurant has a formal night dress code every night.

jlynn222 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 OK thanks..I assume the Grande is one that they will charge you to eat at.. I really like dressing up for formal night but to me it is pointless to pay for a meal when they have all that free food available.. although I may try chops..

michelle Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 GOT this from webinar today with Vicki Freed -The Quantum is keeping Dynamic Dining as is - since its moving to Asia, no plans to change it at all Anthem will have both Dynamic and Classic - you should be able to select which one you want from your cruise planner soon - CLASSIC dining will rotate - your table number will be the same each place you go and your server and table guests will rotate with you each night = figured pre-paid gratuities will be added either way with these plans too No plans yet to roll to Allure or Oasis yet at all - they want to try it on the Anthem with two plans and then see the feedback so I would not hold your breath on the rolling out - Their old time classic dining people really spoke loudly on this one.

DocLC Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 I'd personally opt for rotational dining; this is something I enjoyed on Disney. My only concern is implementing it on ships that weren't built with this in mind. The biggest complaints I use to read about NCL's freestyle concept were on those ships that were in the fleet before they went freestyle; thus, they had a harder time implementing it due to the number of venues, their size, etc.,the good news is that Royal seems to be responsive to customer feedback and is making changes as a result, which I haven't often seen on the other lines.
