With an infant, I would highly recommend anytime dining. I'm sure you'll need the flexibility with such a young child. We have 2 kids (now teenagers) but always do anytime. Much better when you have young ones, IMHO.

Not everybody wants to have an infant on their table so I would choose 1st sitting on a table for 5! You will never miss a meal because the ship is usually leaving port around that time and all tours would be sure to be back by then.

Never worry about not getting fed on a cruise ship. You can eat 24 hours a day, food is always available, but I would definitely go with first sitting with the infant..........Wilba

On the cruises we have dined on the late seating we have had people put on the table as there was room that had missed there early time due to a late return on a trip, or you can go to the buffet .Personally i would go for an early fixed as your taking an infant.

If you are on fixed sitting and get back too late, you can eat in the buffet restaurant or (and most times it's best to book in advance) one of the alternative restaurants.
