Dining on Anthem

As long as you don't mind eating after 6:45 pm.  And you pick that time months and months before your sailing.

Hello,

 

I booked 5.30pm for 14 nights.

Was on the Anthem last week. Glad we had traditional early seating.  The line for MTD got LOOONG each evening.

 

BTW, we found the food quality to be pretty much identical to all of our other sailings... except for the bao pork tacos that had some sort of nasty sauce on top that isn't typical.  The duration for dinner was the same also.  It was not any faster (which is fine with us).  Typically 90-120 minutes total.

 

The only issue we had was the first night when both my wife and FIL ordered the prime rib medium rare and it came out well done.  This was clearly the waiters fault.  It's obvious that the meat was overcooked versus our order and should not have been brought out.  Grey versus red/pink.  Fortunately the Maître D happened to ask if we were willing to move our table to another location to accommodate a large travelling group.   After seeing our new table location, and wait staff, we happily obliged.  From then on (night 2-7) it was stellar.  Benni and Sunny are fantastic and made sure everything went awesome.

Please enlighten me as to which ship in the fleet can you currently pick 530 as an option for MTD?

I won't hold my breath.

Enchantment was an oddball like till late last year - not sure if it's still available at those times now.

It would have been nice if the oddball was fleet wide similar to other cruise lines that can juggle set time with MTD starting at 530 with substantially less hiccups than RCI has.

We showed up at 5:30 PM every night on the anthem last week. I think early seating was 515 but they said they would hold tables until 5:45 PM.
