Cheap cruises or plush getaways... it doesn't make a difference when it comes to meal times. Cruise ships pride themselves on the variety of cuisine choices, dining rooms and styles of dishes on offer to passengers. Considering that an entire shipload of different people need to be catered for, you can expect to be spoiled for choice.
The quality and selection of dining options on board cruise ships is legendary, and from the moment you step foot on board you'll understand why.
Should you be looking for a little bit of glamour, then rest assured most cruise hold formal dinners sometimes, for those who are keen to don their best attire. This doesn't mean you need to be fancy for the rest of the time of course. There is everything on board from retro diners, steakhouses, Asian cuisine and even ice cream restaurants. You can have a different meal every single time if you wanted!
It is recommended that you book for a sit-down dinner, as there are two serving times, one early and one late. The first sitting is around 6pm and the late is about 8pm, so that everyone can choose when they want to eat. Families might prefer an early sitting, while those who are in no hurry to bring their evening to a close might wait until the later meal time.
With evening entertainment and exciting on-board nightlife, it's worth considering that an earlier meal will leave you with more of the evening ahead of you to make the most of the shows on offer. If you're traveling with a group of friends, your whole family, or dining with friends you've met on board, then there are also options to book large communal tables at dinner too. Tables for two are usually the quickest to be snapped up, so make sure you book early if you're hoping to enjoy a quiet intimate meal. Enjoying a discount cruise is all about making the most of your time on board.
