What is priority dining?

[gteach]

Hi all,

 

we’ve booked our first cruise and we paid for the select fair. 
 

this comes with priority dining. 
 

what exactly is priority dining and how is it a benefit?

 

we are on the Iona where it is freedom dining!

 

thanks!

When you book a select fare, you have the ability to choose your preferred dining option.

Apart from Iona and Arriva you have three options - anytime dining (what it says on the can and the most popular- you go to the dining room when you are hungry) - early fixed dining (normally around 18:00, and you will have the same table and dining companions the whole cruise) -late fixed dining (same as early fixed dining, but later!)

As you are on Iona, I don't think priority dining has any relevance whatsoever.
