toribrite Posted May 1, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 1, 2017 One of the reasons we chose my time dining is so we didn't have to make reservations early. If we just show up when we want to eat I understand there might be wait. Has anyone done this/how long was the wait? If I make reservations now but want to change them the day of, is that ok?

The wait varies by ship, time you arrive, number in your party, demographic, etc. Some report less than 5 minutes, others are told the wait is so long to come back after an hour. You cna change reservations anytime you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted May 1, 2017 #3 Share Posted May 1, 2017 If you plan to eat during the most popular times, without a reservation, there may very well be a wait. If you dine earlier or later, then waits should be minimal. 6:45-7:30 is the busiest time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBFURR Posted May 1, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 1, 2017 We may just be lucky, but we have never waited for more than a few minutes if at all. We hardly ever set a time in advance but we do tend to show up around 7 - 7:30 out of habit. I know that some have had different experience but it has been pretty consistent for us.

sddsddean Posted May 1, 2017 #5 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I normally book us a reservation for about 7 - 7:30, just so we have got a reservation and can join the (normally shorter) reservation line, but often we are not there for our exact time slot and have never waited more than 5 minutes. Whether thats because we are a couple and happy to sit with others (so we can fill any gaps more easily) I don't know, but it works for us.

Thorben-Hendrik Posted May 1, 2017 #6 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I would expect close to no wait if you have a reservation ?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we have frequently noticed that we get in faster than folks waiting in the reservations line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cna change reservations anytime you like. If the ship is sailing from Barcelona Spain there are a lot of Spanish on board and they traditionally eat late. We book for 8.30 pm after visiting the Diamond lounge and the queues then for non booked times are always massive. 44 cruises and counting.
