Anytime Dining Question

[Harley167]

We are sailing a Mediterranean Cruise On the Equinox in October and we have chosen anytime dining as we may want to take. a nap after a long day, but sea days eat earlier. But then i saw a post that you had to choose a time for anytime dining? So I am a little confused! Can we just show up and be seated or do we have to chooose a time?

It's called Anytime Dinning for a Reason, Show up when you are ready.

Set Dining is at 5:30 and 8:30 I believe, so some People don't like those times and book Anytime Dining but then choose a time like 6:30 or which ever suits them. With this you most likely to get the same table and Waiter, but not always.

Just adding the FYI that X calls "anytime" dining Select dining

You have the option of reserving times on any given day or just showing up for a usually short wait for a table in the "no reservations" line.

Just like any restaurant if you arrive at a busy time you may have to wait. You may also be offered a buzzer/pager so you can wait in a bar/ lounge etc. We always pre book for 6.30pm gives us a leisurely dinner and we get to the 9.0pm show in the theatre. Do whatever suits you - no right or wrong.

they cut off reservations so if you try to book it is likely that you won't be able to and need to show up when you want to eat. At busy times there will be a wait
