kywildcatfanone Posted March 23, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Hi Folks, Anyone who has recently been on the Royal, could you reserve a table for two in the anytime dining rooms each night? Would like to find a table I like and reserve it for the week. Some ships let you do that and some don't. Thanks for any responses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRPro Posted March 23, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Some passengers were able to do that on our Royal TA, but we didn't personally try to do that. We did often call first thing in the morning and book a reserved dining time for that evening. Always worked great and we only had to get a pager two evenings on our 18 day cruise, and those were nights that I failed to make a reservations.

dorisis Posted March 23, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 23, 2014 We had a table for 2 reserved every night on the Royal. It was very near the doorway. There seemed to be plenty of tables for 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kywildcatfanone Posted March 23, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Awesome. Thanks for the responses. Do you know if they had numbers on the tables in the afternoon of the 1st day? That's generally how I would pick my table, find the number for a couple I liked and then when I call, ask the reservation to hold that table.

CharlesOK Posted March 23, 2014 #6 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Sorry folks, I just don't get it. AnyTime dining and then you book the same table every night for your entire cruise for the same time every night. Somehow seems a bit unfair to the other AnyTime diners. Why don't you just book fixed dining? I especially disagree with this when it involves a larger party wanting one of the best tables at their preferred time every night. Defeats the purpose of AnyTime dining I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonbeam Posted March 23, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Reservation policies are set by the MD individually for each cruise based on demand for that trip. In short, your experience may vary from even the cruise right before yours. I have never seen an MD allow a specific table to be chosen. If you wish to guarantee a table for 2 at a set location, choose traditional dining. Even when they do make a set reservation, its not guaranteed to be in the same location (could be same section) as that table needs to be flexible for other AT diners to use.

Defeats the purpose of AnyTime dining I think. Any Time Dining means you can dine when you want to. Period. 5:30 doesn't work for us and 8:30 doesn't work for us. 7:00 is just right. Thus the Any Time Dining option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
