Astro Flyer Posted February 5, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) The traditional dining room on most Princess ships are located on deck 6 aft but can have different names. This dining room is only accessible by stairs or elevator unlike the midship anytime dining rooms which are accessible from the atrium.

It will be printed on your seapass card.. You'll either be aft deck 6, which is always traditional seating, early and late or mid-ship deck 5, which is frequently early traditional seating followed by anytime dining after about 7...

moki'smommy Posted February 5, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 5, 2018 As above, it is printed on your card. And as above, one of the dining rooms is a pain to get there--it is a "you can't get there from here" situation so you end up going up to a different deck in order to go down to the dining room. THe others are easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't want to go that route, walk to the aft elevators from almost any deck and get on the ones that go to deck 6 (2 out of 4).:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVBill Posted February 5, 2018 #8 Share Posted February 5, 2018 ... get on the ones that go to deck 6 (2 out of 4).:) That's one of the problems. The other is that the elevator lobby in front of the Amalfi on the Star is so small it quickly fills with people in the half hour before early seating and the crowd spills up the stairs to the Deck 7 elevator lobby, and people coming down on the elevators have no room to get off the elevator into the deck 6 lobby. We learned to work around it by timing our trip aft on deck 7 to arrive at about 5:35 by which time the crowd was at least moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t have any mobility issues so we use the stairs so others can use the elevators which are very crowded at dinner time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it isn't "that much" work; it's more a matter of remembering what you have to do to get there from where you are. Not a problem from cabin to dining room; more of an issue in engaging the brain when going from a public area to the dining room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUZBUDS Posted February 6, 2018 #11 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Were surprised at the awful design of the forward dining room on the Star for late traditional. It is only serviced by two elevators, instead of four like the others in the class -- I think the Golden is the same. It was very difficult for people with mobility problems. Before dinner when people were coming from the Elite/Platinum party on 15 (or somewhere up there) there was no hope of catching an elevator from other floors.

mllewis48 Posted February 6, 2018 #12 Share Posted February 6, 2018 You do mean Aft DR, correct? I agree the elevator issue and odd location was a task to get to certain times. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
