Lock down your dinner reservation right away!
Securing your dinner reservations promptly on the Pride of America cruise ship is a savvy decision that enhances your overall cruise experience. The ship boasts a diverse array of dining options, each offering a unique culinary journey. By making reservations in advance, you ensure that you have access to the restaurants and dining times of your preference, guaranteeing a seamless and enjoyable dining experience. By planning ahead, and going right to the reservation desk as the first thing you do on the ship you can make sure you have a smooth week with dining. Errors do happen where reservations that you thought you had can be wiped out when the cruise data downloads. It is always good to get a print out from the ship with your reservation times.
Freedom of Entertainment
With freestyle cruising on the Pride of America you do not need to make reservations for any of the on-board entertainment. Just make sure you know what is lined up for the week and get a Freestyle Daily with the times of events. Most entertainment will be held in Hollywood Theatre on deck 5 or Mardi Gras on deck 6 right above it.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT DINING AND ENTERTAINMENT
Do I need to reserve spots for any of the shows on the ship?
No, you just need to show up at the right time. Make sure to check your freestyle daily for updates and times. For shows in Hollywood Theatre they generally run 2 back to back at night and you should try to get there 30 min early for the best seating when the doors open.
I made my dinner reservations pre-cruise, should I check them?
Yes! Sometimes the download for the new cruise loads incorrectly and some guests reservations are on there. This makes it so your spot is then given to guests making reservations when they first get on the ship. The first thing I always tell guests is check and get your dinner reservations print out first.
How early should I show up for shows?
Hollywood Theatre I would should up 30 minutes early right when the doors open if you want good seating and want access to drinks right away. Normally the first show of the night is the busy one.
