Nieuw Amsterdam - Anytime dining in the MDR - Lower or Upper Level?

[Euby]

Which level of the main dining room is used for Anytime dining on the Nieuw Amsterdam?  I have already reserved my dining times via the Navigator app, but would like to request a specific table based on the .pdf found on HAL facts.

 

Thanks!

We have almost always been seated downstairs with anytime dining.  Exception would be a very busy nights/times.

Typically Lower, but the ship can be flexible. If the is huge desire for one type or the other of seating, they will put some people on the other floor. If for example, tons want Anytime dining, some will be put on the Upper floor.

Early dining was very popular on our recent MS Nieuw Amsterdam cruise. Late fixed upper dining was far and few between. Which for us made for ideal excellent service.

 

Upon our arrival for dinner there were some guest  dining in upper; so yes some diners were seated upstairs to relieve congestion.
