Seating times are assigned based on your booking package, Bella, Fantastica, or Aurea, and dinner service typically kicks off around 5:30 PM. Patrons praise La Loggia for its variety, especially nights when pasta shines and when thoughtful details (think sauces, plating, and sides) stand out.

Excellent cruise company

Always a pleasure to book via Cruisenation. As I need an accessible cabin due to using a wheelchair I always phone up and the staff are always great. The new pay monthly is a definite plus for us too
