Do you enjoy queuing? You may do if you’re British:
after all, it is said to be a national pastime. On a cruise ship, you will have
many opportunities to queue if that’s your “thing”.
If, on the other hand, you prefer to spend your time more
profitably, here is a tip to avoid the dreaded standing in line…
The queues start forming outside the restaurants for dinner
way before the stated opening time. You’ll see maybe 100 cruisers in their posh
frocks and natty jackets standing at the restaurant doors like runners on
starting blocks. What is the point? You have been given a table at the start of
the cruise.
No-one is going to steal your place, so why queue along with the
others who have also been allotted a table?
Simply stroll down five or so
minutes after “opening time” and you’ll sail through the doors with a welcome
“Good Evening Sir and\or Madam” and a pleasant smile from the Restaurant
Manager and Maitre’d.
Make your way to
the table – you’ll be in good time to order your meal and wine. Don’t leave it
any later though, or you’ll be scowled at by your table companions: that is, if
they have turned up on time.
