There is some confusion here…the MDR is open seating for breakfast and lunch, and you can ask for a two top. Your dinner assignment depends on the ‘experience’ you booked. If you booked Bella, you will have fixed, assigned dining. If Fantastica, you can request early or late, but might not get it. But Aurea has any time dining, open seating. It may be in a separate part of the MDR, or a separate dining room. If you are unhappy with your dining assignment, there will be a time and place after boarding to speak with MDR staff about a change. EM
