Cruise vacations offer the perfect getaway for foodies and drinkers.<\/p>\n

You may find that you are eating and drinking from the morning to night, as there is usually a wide variety of food on board.<\/p>\n

When it comes to a sit-down meal, timing is crucial.<\/p>\n

In my former career as a cruise ship employee, I have experienced both the pleasure of timing the meal right and the pitfalls of making a mistake.<\/p>\n

Some cruise ships offer the opportunity to dine whenever you like during specific hours.<\/p>\n

In the main dining rooms, dinner is served between 5pm and 10pm.<\/p>\n

Some cruise ships offer seating assigned at specific times.<\/p>\n

First seating is around 5pm, and second seating begins at about 8pm.<\/p>\n

The earlier you can eat dinner, the better if your traveling companions are young children or older adults.<\/p>\n

If you choose a later dinner, everyone is sure to have had their meal by the time they go to bed.<\/p>\n

You might not be able to sit down for dinner until the kids have gone to bed.<\/p>\n

You can also cause other passengers to be disturbed and this will make the dinner experience more difficult.<\/p>\n

For the adults, this will allow you to start your adventures after dinner sooner.<\/p>\n

There’s plenty of entertainment onboard. Whether it’s gambling, shows, or a visit to one of the bars, there are many ways to have fun after dinner.<\/p>\n

In a recent trip with my 24 family members we chose to eat earlier in order to satisfy the young members of the group.<\/p>\n

The kids fell asleep after the dinner, and slept with us in our strollers.<\/p>\n

You can choose the seating for each dinner depending on which cruise line you are sailing with.<\/p>\n

This is the time you will have to eat dinner on your cruise.<\/p>\n

This time can only be changed if you book a speciality restaurant on your cruise. You will then dine in an entirely different section of the vessel.<\/p>\n

Also, for cruises with freestyle dining seating, there are usually long lines that form before the room opens.<\/p>\n

If you want to be seated early, it’s best to join the line as quickly as possible. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
