Edge MDR reservations?

Do the 4 different main dining rooms take reservations or do you just show up when you want?

Once you install the app, you can select a reserved time for dinner - early or late.  People that want to have the same waiter(s) & sit at the same table will generally select this option.  It will be around 7 for early or 9 for late (+/- 30 min depending on specific cruise).  I believe your dining room is selected for you with this option.  You can go to the main dining room on embarkation day & check if you like your seating.  They'll likely change to your request. 

 

If you leave your dining as "Anytime" dining, you can show up whenever you want.  With Anytime dining, you have the option to open any of the 4 dining room details in the app and reservations can be made there.  Reservations will have to be set per day (you add each day to the cart and checkout with a $0 charge) & there are much more times, every 30 minutes, that you can select from.  Many suggest reserving if you have Anytime dining to reduce the amount of time you are waiting and especially if you have a larger group.  Be aware that how the dining rooms work is different per ship/cruise.  Some ships will place priority over the reservations and many report that some ships seat first come still and will directly tell you reservations make no difference. 

 

If you book the cruise late you may get forced into a dining time.  In the app you can request Anytime dining wait list.  I did that for my most recent booking & was changed to Anytime after about 2 weeks.

Just an fyi, if you go to make reservation in the app and there are no times available or only very late don’t panic.  They only release a portion of the available tables for booking pre cruise.  A good portion of the dining room is held back for walk up diners.  
We rarely make reservations and never had a problem.
