I always pick the Late Seating because on somedays while at port you are there until 4 and I never want to rush to get ready for dinner...plus I usually eat lunch really late...As far as the people who joined me on the cruise they also chose the late seating on each of their previous cruises...

I have always chosen (and always will) the late seating on my cruises...except on my wedding cruise. I had too many children and older folks cruising with us that are usually eating between 6-7. Yes, personally, it is a pain in the rear to rush and get ready for dinner when getting back on the ship from a port of call...but that was the best decision I could make to suit all my guest. There were only a hand full that would skip dinner on some nights...but that was mostly because they just wanted to lounge at the lido deck. If it were only friends and family in their 20's & 30's, I would have chosen the late seating.

If the bulk of you guest are under the age of 13 or over the age of 40, it may be better to have the early seating.

I went with the early seating and loved it, we had elderly and diabetic people with us and 1 child so it wasn't a hard choice. I would consider the guests you are bringing but if they don't want to eat at that time the good thing is they don't have to! On a cruise you can eat anytime anywhere

Ok thanks for everyone input. We have 6pm dining now and it is 47 cruises thusfar. We have a no one under 18 and the oldest at about late 50's. We have diabetic and alot of first time cruisers (they will never know the difference, lol). On my last cruise we did early and I loved it because we always wanted to lounge around after dinner because we was stuffed. I wonder if I could split up the group, some do early and some do late?
