Late arrival!
 
<BR>I have a feeling our plane will be arriving so late we will be delivered to our cruise ship about the time of the first dinner sitting -- and we booked for that sitting. What would be priority? Cabin first? Arrange credit business? Sneak into dining room? <BR>See if there is room at second sitting? Or does everything fall into place? Any ideas please?

The first thing you do as you check in at the Pier is to establish credit then you board. Once aboard they show you your cabin. As you board, ask them for your options (depending on what time it is.) remember NO ONE goes hungry on a cruise.

Relax, your on vacation, Everything will fall into place. If you miss the 1st seating, SO WHAT. As the prior post mentions NOBODY goes hungry, they always have the Casual Dining buffet open for just that sort of thing. I'd be more concerned with your late flight arriving on time so you don't miss the Ship Sailing. If the Cruise line booked the Flight you will have no problem, they will hold the ship or get you to it at their expense. If you, or your travel agent booked the flight separately and you miss the sailing because of a late arrival then you are on your own.

<BR>Thanks John and Carl. I am relaxing and ready for the feast. Plus the fact the cruise line booked the flight! Thanks again.

<BR>Hi John, <BR>If you missed the first dinner seating, you missed the ship.
