Remember, when selecting a dining time, consider what time zone you're coming from and what time zone(s) you're going to. If you live on the east coast and are doing a west coast sailing, that late dinner time will be very late compared to when you're used to eating. We generally eat late when cruising east (Caribbean) and early when sailing west (Mexico, Alaska).
we appreciate how you're trying harder to match what's on the screen to what you're talking about. its disorienting when we see olive snacks at the coffee shop while you're talking about rotational dining. keep it up! definitely getting better
We (gf and I) just finished a 7 day on the Fantasy as our first ever cruise in May and we felt like even with 7 days, we missed alot. Thanks for this video since we just put a deposit last week for a christmas theme one next year.
We prefer late dining bc we prefer to be wide awake for the stage show. I will say if there are parties or shows on the pool deck at night, you may want early dining because by the time we got out of dinner we could not get even a decent spot for those events. I overheard another guest being awful to their server because of this. If you have late dining, please don't blame your server for this. It is not their fault.
I've sailed on the Wish twice this year, in January and September. Marceline Market doesn't have a sit down dinner in the evenings. The only thing that's open is Mickeys Festival of Foods and it closes around 6pm. The pizza station does stay open later but really when it comes to dinner it's the main dining rooms, speciality dinning, or room service.
We did a cruise in Feb. we were very disappointed with the food. Main dining food was not as good as the fast food (pizza, etc). Palo was good. Not what we expected from a premiere cruise line.
FYI, speaking on food and Alaskan cruises, I’ve just watched two other bloggers who recently were on Alaska cruises two weeks ago and a week ago and they both said that the regionalize dishes to do with fish in Alaska on the West Coast have been removed. They reached out to their staff and they weren’t really given an answer.
We ordered that fruit plate for the room and while it was pretty - there was no way to eat the coconut! LOL Our host was like - can we please throw this out so we don't get fruit flies?
