Will always pick the late sitting as you can spend longer chatting to your new foun friends. Don't need to hurry with anything....just enjoy the fine food and wine!!

We Love traditional EARLY. With living in Las Vegas we have plenty of"Personal Choice" options. Then to eat at 8 at night:thumbsdow that is way too late. I need to have time to walk off the dinner

Out of our group of friends who we cruise with, only my parents and sister like early seating. The rest of us (including me) prefer late seating so that's what we go with.

We have always dined early.

However on our Med cruise next year we went with late so that we wouldn't have to rush back to the ship after our all day excursion to make it to dinner on time!

We like the late seating...it gives us a chance to relax after a day in port and then get ready for the evening.

You got it, the hot tubs are empty! Besides I hate rushing !

Early for us. Wouldn't want to be cheated out of a lobster tail.

While 17 votes is insignificant............I am surprised only 29% (early voting) chose late seating.........and that no one has chosen the buffet..while I didn't think many would.......I thought somebody would.

With the popularity of Princess and to some extent NCL, I'm surprised not more people chose the Freestyle personal dining choice

AllieMan and I always choose late seating now. (Our first cruise was early.) we're diners. We take a long time and hate feeling rushed out of a restaurant and since we bring our own wine, we like to enjoy it.

We rarely if ever watch the shows on board so we take our time dining, then casually move to a sports bar or martini bar or casino after dinner.
