first night of cruise - open seating?

[Kira10]

Hi we'll be going out on our first cruise tomorrow on Infinity. I seem to remember reading somewhere that on the first night, you are not necessarily with your permanent tablemates in the dining room, that it's open seating? Or did I mix things up and was reading about another cruiseline? Thanks!

Iff sailaway is after dinner it's open dinner. If it's before 6:00 you will ahve your normal table.

at least not in our experience - six cruises so far (just back today from Mercury to AK, working on the review as we speak) - your table assignment awaits you upon boarding. I'm sure there's the odd exception, very late departures perhaps, but not likely for yours ... have a great time!

Thanks so much for the clarification. The sailaway is at 5pm. Before dinner and hopefully under a Golden Gate Bridge that is not totally obscured by fog - today it was really dense, but you could see part of the bridge. Hey, we'll be eating our first dinner on the Infinity in 24 hrs.!!!

Yours should be assigned seating. Normally, the only time we get open seating the first night is out of San Juan where we leave at 11PM.
