Stoudty Posted February 5, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2020 How far in advance can you book MTD in the cruise planner? I am getting an error message saying I am either too far or too close to the sail date and to try onboard. We sail in November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floridadude Posted February 5, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I am booked on Allure for December and already made my MTD reservations. Sometimes there is a glitch in the site. Keep trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PQI Posted February 5, 2020 #3 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I'm booked on Harmony in October and I've been able to book since I made the cruise reservation in November last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrunkles Posted February 5, 2020 #4 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I was able to book mine right away too. It was 11 months before sail date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BunnyHutt Posted February 5, 2020 #7 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I booked last week for our NYE cruise. Not sure if it was available before then (cruise was booked in June), I just switched from traditional to MTD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoke with TA yesterday who switched our entire group to MTD. Did not say anything about being waitlisted. I will follow up with her. Thanks!

Evilgrin72 Posted February 5, 2020 #10 Share Posted February 5, 2020 As long as you're not trying to make dinner reservations for multiple cabins together, you should be able to do it with little effort. Trying to make a reservation in MTD when you have a small group of people spread over multiple cabins is literally impossible, even if your reservations are linked on their site, cabins have been assigned, final payments are made and the interested parties are all checked in. It's baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's baffling. This might be the same thing happening to us. Have a large group and all reservations are linked. How did you end up resolving this?

How did you end up resolving this? I haven't. I e-mailed RCL Dining and they basically told me that if 10 people want to sit together every night, we need to switch to traditional dining. I don't really want to do that, so we may just show up each night, ask for a table for 10 and hope for the best. I don't know if everyone will make it every night, so I don't want to reserve a table for 10 and have 4-6 people show up each night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going to shoot them an email too, but won’t be getting my hopes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted February 6, 2020 #14 Share Posted February 6, 2020 In the past, MTD wasn't available for booking on larger ships until around 90 days out but our April Harmony were all booked last April - over a year out. Smaller ships were more than six months out. Now everything for us has been a year out. They do load these in batches but would think that you should be able to book November now. Try changing your browser - have had problems with Chrome in the past and had to switch to Internet Explorer to get the Cruise Planner to work right. Also had a situation where I could book me but not DW in same cabin. She was signed up for fixed dining and I had MyTime. That took a call to our TA to fix.

FARMMOM24 Posted February 9, 2020 #15 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I realize this isnt helpful, but I can not access mine either we sail in January of 2021. To make this even better our cruise isn't even listed online.... I am getting slightly nervous( really just slightly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essgee_ca Posted February 10, 2020 #16 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I was able to book my MTD, for my May 2020 cruise, but it looks like for only the first night. Does this make sense? If I booked a time for the first night, will I be booked at that time for all nights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was unable to add them to my reservation, but when my dad logged in, he could add a reservation with us added to his. So I'm guessing that unless at least one party is paid in full, you can't link the reservations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go through the reservation process completely for the first night and then go back in and start a brand new reservation. You have to complete the process for each night separately! SOOO annoying!
