Aurea Anytime Dining

[chanceflight]

It may seem an obvious answer to my question, but we have Aurea on the Seashore this month. The description states "anytime dining". How does this work? Do we just show up to the MDR at any time an will be seated? Or do you have to arrange in advance what time you want?

 

We sailed once before on MSC (steerage class) and they gave us the late night dining. No changes were available for earlier times. 

 

The website (as horrible as it is) didn't give any kind of option for dining preferences when we checked in. 

 

Lastly, does the Aurea guests eat in a designated dining room? Or is is the "main" MDR?  

 

Thanks all!

Just walk in and be fed. Skip the line. There will be a designated DR on your card.

There will be a designated dining room. It will be identified on your room key. 

 

You show up anytime the restaurant is open (see daily program for hours). The host will attempt to always seat you with the same waiters (and same table if available). 

 

On a parallel note, you do have to make a reservation for the Thermal Spa for sea days.

We had anytime dining on World Europa.  It worked incredibly well.  They blew Celebrity out of the water, which surprised me.  Maybe it shouldn't, as it was only for Aurea guests, whereas Celebrity's anytime dining is for the entire ship.
