suezducruz Posted May 20, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 20, 2018 We have early dining. Will we be assigned to one dining room or will we rotate through the complimentary venues? Also, will there be specific formal nights? Last time we wailed this class we had to make reservations every night. I'm confused! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken at the beach Posted May 20, 2018 #3 Share Posted May 20, 2018 All the dining rooms serve the same food, the only thing different is the decor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted May 20, 2018 #4 Share Posted May 20, 2018 You will have the same time and table each night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Suezducruz :) You will be assigned to the Chic or Grande dining room for 'Traditional' early or late dining. 'My Time' dining is in the Silk & American Icon dining rooms. Have a wonderful sailing! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garycruz Posted May 20, 2018 #6 Share Posted May 20, 2018 You will be assigned to one dining room and there will be specific formal nights. Is this true even when you don’t reserve a time? I have My Time Dining for my upcoming Anthem cruise but have decided not to make a reservation for any of the nights as I want to be flexible in what time I choose to eat dinner. The time will vary from night to night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garycruz Posted May 20, 2018 #8 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Your SeaPass card will show your assigned dining room. Sorry, I should clarify the question. Will I have the same table and waitstaff even if I don’t have reservations for a specific time? I would think that would only be the case for those with My Time dining reservations.

carnival03 Posted May 20, 2018 #9 Share Posted May 20, 2018 If you make reservations for My Time dining, is there a penalty if you are a no show? I know 'no shows' get a $25 fee for not showing to their North Star reservation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know 'no shows' get a $25 fee for not showing to their North Star reservation. Absolutely no penalty. It's nice & courteous if you inform the staff. Otherwise, they will be holding that table for you. You can imagine that this causes difficulty for staff and for others who may want to eat at that time.

I would think that would only be the case for those with My Time dining reservations. There is no way to know if you will have the same table and/or waitstaff. The OP was asking about fixed, traditional dining. (s/he was confused because on her/his last sailing, apparently before November 16, 2016, there was Dynamic Dining, which has been discontinued) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know why I thought the discussion was about My Time Dining. Just one more question while we’re on the subject. Is there typically a big difference in wait time in MTD between those with and those without reservations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to predict in advance. Obviously, it SHOULD work in favor of those with reservations, but................ ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
