Are you referring to Specialty Restaurants? Then the answer is 'YES' if you are using Celebrity OBC or if you are paying by credit card. As for the MDRs, it is Anytime Dining. Just show up to whatever dining room when you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octavias Posted March 17 #3 Share Posted March 17 We found out the hard way that specialty dining books up fast. By the time I went into cruise planner to book, about 3 months before sailing, we could only get an 8pm dining time in the steak house. At this point there is nothing left in Eden.

AliceS Posted March 29 #4 Share Posted March 29 So, you can’t make dining reservations for the different restaurants on the Edge class? I thought that we had done that before. What if you have set dining, say at 6….how do you know which restaurant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisestitch Posted March 29 #8 Share Posted March 29 Celebrity’s booking system has not caught up with the reality of the edge class. They’re booking confirmation form still say “ early” and “late” dining on them. It is confusing and baffling why they don’t fix it. It has been years now ! edge class ships do not have fixed dining 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare fellswoop Posted March 29 #9 Share Posted March 29 We booked Beyond and "anytime dining" was full and only available was fixed at 8:30p. So it seems they do have fixed dining on this particular Edge class ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like Celebrity is breeding confusion in so many areas. We sail in 2 weeks and are so excited but glad that we have researched and "studied up" beforehand.

We experienced the same thing recently on the Ascent. Once we were on board, however, we were able to find reasonable dining times at a couple of specialty restaurants. We didn't get our preferred day, but by shifting our schedule to a different day were seated at 7:30. You may need to be flexible once you're on board, and be sure to visit the restaurant reservations desk as soon as it opens on embarkation day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
