When will the Maasdam go to AYWD?

I am hoping that the answer is NEVER or it is not scheduled to as we will be sailing in November and would prefer the old way. Thanks

YUK..... oh well, hope I get my requested 8:00 dining.

Different strokes. We're looking forward to dining with whom ever and whenever. That's one feature we love with Regent and Oceania and now with HAL.:)

I was surprised, on a recent cruise, to discover that a lot of folks really DO like the Anytime Dining option. The only real problem I saw from it was loss of crowd control in the Showroom. Seats for the 8:00 (or was it 8:30) show were gone at least 30 minutes before start. By 15 minutes before, the standing room was gone too.

When there were just the fixed dinner seatings, a lot of people were in the dining room during one show - and the showroom seating was adequate. No more though, sadly.

Hello All - we are booked on the 24 April sailing of the Maasdam. We received info from our TA on Saturday, advising us that it was available if we wanted. HAL is offering both ways. We are choosing to stay with the traditional at the early seating. We have loved HAL dinign arrangements in the past and figure we are not going to mess with it - since in "ain't" broken. Looking forward to April. Cheers All !!!! ;) :p
