MDR Pre- booking dining time

[rentals1]

We are used to cruising (26 so far) but this is our first on RC, we are on the Thanksgiving Cruise out of Bayonne. We normally reserve an 8pm nightly, we have booked the Specialty restaurants that we wanted but I cant reserve any of the MDR at this point? can you do it before you get on board? if so when ?

Thanks for the help.

I was able to book the MDR for our first night - for a cruise on Oasis in March.  We had signed up for our cruise with MyTime Dining.  The earliest available was 7pm (which I took).

Why not just select Late Seating -- you'll automatically be booked for 8pm every night.

Thanks, I logged into my RC dashboard, picked reservations and selected the name but when i go to pick the restaurants, only the specialty dining comes up as an option, I also called them and the person said that they taught it only opened up for that 30 days before the cruise? Never heard of such a thing and normally when I first book a cruise i always ask for late seating? Am i looking in the wrong place?

If you call and ask for traditional seating instead of my time dining you should be able to get the late seating.

If not, when you first board the ship go to MdR and let the host know your preference.

You have to scroll all the way down to the end to get the free dining choices.

I'm confused... do you have Late Seating or do you have My Time Dining?

If you asked for and were assigned Late Seating, there is nothing to sign up for / reserve in advance -- your dining time and dining room and table number will be printed on your SeaPass card.
