awestover89 Posted April 14, 2016 #709 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Would it be possible to get a quick summary of what we know/suspect so far? Been trying to follow the thread but it grows quickly.

A quick summary would be very appreciated Sometime around May 1 Anthem will switch from Dynamic Dining to Traditional/MTD. Same menus in all four restaurants, two will be traditional and two will be MTD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachbuddy Posted April 14, 2016 #711 Share Posted April 14, 2016 That seems like a waste. Is Coastal Kitchen ever full at breakfast or lunch? On our Quantum cruise it wasn't even full at dinner. We ate there one night and the manager told us if we wanted to come back to let her know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachnative Posted April 14, 2016 #712 Share Posted April 14, 2016 On our Quantum cruise it wasn't even full at dinner. We ate there one night and the manager told us if we wanted to come back to let her know. However, if the rumors come true and the 4 dining rooms are operated like traditional ships they will be packed and CK and SB will probably be used by more suites/Pinnacle guests. Hopefully the CK and SB will continue to offer their menus. I may be that suite/Pinnacle guests will be assigned to CK and SB instead of the dining rooms. (anything could happen). I totally understand everyones frustration and have the same feelings. We are booked on the Anthem for Oct. 6 but if the reviews after the switch are negative we will probably cancel.

Gail (or Gil), your so right. With traditional dining CK and SB will most likely be full. I bet they will be assigned to those restaurants. We're booked in November and April 2017. Will most likely keep the November booking because we're going with a bunch of friends but if we aren't happy in November I'll be canceling the April one. I just did a mock booking and the only choice coming up for dinner was Classic and the times were 6 and 8. It said MTD wasn't even available. Guess we just have to wait and see what happens once they decide to announce it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonnaK Posted April 16, 2016 #721 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Sometime around May 1 Anthem will switch from Dynamic Dining to Traditional/MTD. Same menus in all four restaurants, two will be traditional and two will be MTD. May 1st would be in the middle of our sailing! I hope they hold off until May 5th, at least! We prefer traditional dining and have rotational classic booked, but it's not being able to use the Solarium Bistro that I will miss the most, as it was a great spot for a quiet lunch.

And we'll miss the whole concept of DD and being able to eat at any restaurant we want and when we want. It's just not fair if they think they're sticking MTDing in Silk or American Icon for 12 nights!!! That's not why I booked this ship!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom.to.2 Posted April 17, 2016 #724 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Today on Anthem, this question was asked at the Captain's corner. The restaurant manager basically skirted the issue and acknowledged the rumor on cruise critic, but said right now we have dynamic dining.
