shuttlebuggy Posted January 29, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) Just wondering your opinions on this - I am booked right now for a table for 6 in the Upper Dining room on the Eurodam. We like a table for 6 so that we can be with the other couple we are traveling with and meet 2 new friends :) Have dined in the Lower Dining room on my last cruise. Curious on everyone's opinions and/or experiences on the Upper and the Lower Dining room and which you prefer if either? Thanks!

Krazy Kruizers Posted January 29, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Upper Level of the dining room is for fixed dining. Lower Level of the dining room is for Open Seating. If you have been assigned a fixed time -- then you will be on the Upper Level. Only once in a while will they place fixed dining people on the lower level.

Typhoon1 Posted January 29, 2015 #3 Share Posted January 29, 2015 If you like fixed, you have to be on upper. Open dining is on the lower level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellieanne Posted January 30, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 30, 2015 If you like fixed, you have to be on upper. Open dining is on the lower level. We thought that was the case as well, but on my last cruise, we had fixed dining and were on the lower level of the dining room. It could be that we needed a table for 6 and there are not as many of those on the upper level. But it was interesting. I had to show my card with the reservation on it to the manager at the door of the lower level every night for the first 6 or so nights to get past the line of anytime diners, but after that, it was easy to just head to my table. Also I've had several cruises where anytime diners are escorted to tables on the upper level after the fixed dining has closed and the tables are empty. So while usually fixed dining is on the upper level, it is not always the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So while usually fixed dining is on the upper level, it is not always the case. What you say is true. I've seen it happen. That said, a good rule of thumb is that traditional will almost always be on the upper, and open on the lower. It's not like the passanger can make that decision.

shuttlebuggy Posted January 30, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Funny, last time we booked early and table for 6, and were placed lower dining! Strange! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellieanne Posted January 30, 2015 #7 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Funny, last time we booked early and table for 6, and were placed lower dining! Strange! I think it's requesting a table for 6 that might be the key as to whether your assigned a table up or down. Usually we request a table for 4, but this last cruise we needed a table for 6 and those are at a premium on the upper level. I think the overflow fixed dining tables for 6 may be assigned to tables on the lower level. We were on the Ryndam this last time, but I think it may be the same situation on the Eurodam depending on how many tables for 6 are available on the upper level. Until I needed a table for 6, I didn't really pay attention to where they were. Either way, and no matter where you're places, I'm sure you'll have great meals and excellent service. I figure being a regular table downstairs gave our waiters some sort of consistency, which might be helpful for them as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuttlebuggy Posted January 31, 2015 Author #8 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I sm sure the food will be good no matter, usually always is. But was curious about how you all felt things like noise level, service, "traffic" were comparatively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare visagrunt Posted July 8, 2015 #10 Share Posted July 8, 2015 On that site that we cannot name, but that we all know that starts with hal, ends with .com and has facts in the middle, you will find .pdf files with the dining room layouts off all of the ships.
