My time....how to adjust times

[RoperDK]

Going on Mariner soon.  I reserved 7:30 each night a while back in the app.  On the first night I wanted to change the time to later so I could spend some time in the casino when it opens. 😇 You can't change it in the app once you have a reservation.  Do I just show up late, say I'm sorry and not worry about it?  Normally, we would tell them the night before and make arrangements.  I don't want to stand in line when the MDR opens just to tell them I'll be late.  What is the best way to handle this?

I know you can't change it in the app (pet peeve) but I seem to remember you can cancel it up to a certain time before, could maybe do that and then just go to the "no reservations" line when you're ready to eat.

Just pop in as soon as you board and let they know you will be there later in the evening.

Yup.  A dining room will be open when you board (assuming it isn't late in the boarding process) and the host can move times for you.  We do this often when we can't get an earlier time.  Have never been able to get modify links in purchases to work.

I believe I read somewhere on the Royal site that a My Time reservation can be modified in the app the day of the reservation. Modifications include cancellation, # of people and time (dependent on availability).

We have 6:45pm reservations for each day of our upcoming Explorer sailing as 'placeholders', but we may end up 'tweaking' any one of those depending on shore excursion return times, friends joining us on a particular night, or outright cancel one if we need to.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong on the information here..

I tried. The only way to "modify" it was to cancel and rebook. Except you can't see what alternative times are available until after you cancel, which is useless. And if you're within a certain time frame, it won't even let you cancel.

Yeah, Royal IT incompetence strikes again.  🙄

I did vent my frustration on a random questionnaire that popped up about the app. Not that it'll make any difference.
