Select Dining Late on the Eclipse

[Grumpella]

We are on the Eclipse on Friday and the only option was Select Dining Late. 
 

I know to go to the dining room first thing to try to switch this. However, should I go the Select Dining room or the  Anytime Dining room which is on another floor? Which option would we have a better chance of switching to, Select Dining Early or Anytime Dining? Anything is better than Late. Lol

 

Thank you in advance for your help.

Select dining is Celebrity name for anytime dining.  If you have 8:30 as your dining time then you have traditional dining with an assigned table and wait staff.  You can go to either dining room when you board and they will try and reassign you but it may not be done until day 2.

There is so much confusion around what select dining is on Celebrity.

 

Select dining isn't Celebrity's name for anytime dining.  Select is the name they use for the restaurants which are included as part of the fare.

 

You can be allocated select early, select late or select anytime.

At one time there were three dining choices called select, early and late. Now Celebrity seems to be using the terms select anytime, select early, and select late. They seemed determined to confuse us.

yes.. a good part of the  confusion is  b/c  they do not update the listings and are inconsistent with terminology.

 

  We are booked on ECLIPSE for 2026. and have chosen to return to AQ Class..We will fill in with some specialty dining  to be pre booked closer to cruise date. (Have to figure out what Specialty venues are on board.)

Select Dining is Celebrity's name for ALL dining choices: early, late and anytime. You "select" one of the three.
