When does Traditional Dining become Anytime?

[Faircliff]

When does Traditonal Dining become Anytime? We will be on the Grand Princess in September (roundtrip from Vancouver) with an overnight stay in San Francisco. Is it likely – on a Princess cruise – as on some other lines I have been on, that Traditional Dining will become Anytime for the overnight stay night?

Generally they convert traditional to anytime when the ship stays late in a Port.I would plan on this happening.

On one of our recent cruises our waiter told us that the next night would be anytime dining--but then he told us that our table would be held for us at our regular time. We assured him that we'd be there on time, and he was there waiting for us with a big smile.

We have always had open seating when we were in a port over night or even a real late departure

This usually happens when a ship is sailing late in the evening. I am not sure it will happen every time the ship is there for the entire night.

Everything the posters stated is correct, but I would ask your waiter or head waiter the night before for advice depending on your own plans for the evening.

The Patter will also have that evening's dining rooms' schedules.

Thank you for your suggestions and information. I know the Patter will have information, but I do like to plan in advance. :-)
