3. Guaranteed Cabin
   One way you can get more than you paid for is to accept a guaranteed booking. You pay for one category of cabin and could be assigned a more expensive category. You won't get a suite, but you may be placed a deck or two higher than the cabin you'd get otherwise. Please select from the choices below

Meals and Seating:
   Most ships have two seatings, for each dining room meal--Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, which are not related to buffets and meals served poolside or in the ship's cafes. These dining room seatings are called Main/First/Early and Second/Late. Main seating is served approximately at these times: Breakfast: 7:30AM, Lunch: 12:00 Noon, Dinner: 6:00PM. Second seating is served approximately at these times: Breakfast: 8:45AM Lunch: 1:30PM Dinner: 8:30PM. This may vary by cruise line and itinerary. In port, Lunch is often held as ' open Seating' and all passengers are free to eat at either seating time.

Table Seating:
  Dining room seating on most ships is assigned seating. You are assigned a table and you have breakfast, lunch and dinner at that same table enjoying the services of the same waiter and bus boy throughout your cruise. You can request a table for 2, 4, 6 or 8. If you are a couple, a table for two means you will dine alone. However, if you choose a table for 4, 6 or 8 then you will be seated with other people. Most find dining with shipmates, whom they did not know prior to the cruise, leads to interesting conversation and many long-time friendships and travel mates have resulted.

Smoking Policies:
  Most cruise ships have non-smoking policies or designated non-smoking areas in dining rooms, theatres and public rooms. Smoking lounges and cigar-bars are also available on some ships.
