Cruising can be a great vacation, but some passengers find that cruise ships are overly crowded with children — especially around meal times. If you would prefer to dine without children running about, pick a dining time slot that’s later in the evening.
Not surprisingly, five o’clock dining times are the most packed with children, while the later ones usually have fewer children milling about.
Bonus: eating later gives you the chance to work on your tan for just a few more minutes!
