kawagama Posted March 7, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 7, 2017 We are two couples travelling on Rhapsody in October and have selected My Time Dining option. Is it possible to reserve dinner times for My Time Dining in advance of the cruise, or do we do that once we are on the ship? I've only cruised once on HAL and we reserved each day or the day before, but because of that could only get a very early or a very late dinner time. If we wanted a more standard dinner time (6-7:30) we had to just go and wait in line (which never took very long at all). Is that the same on RCI ships? Or specifically on Rhapsody? And if I can reserve in advance, when would I be able to do that? How soon before the cruise? We most likely will not do specialty restaurants. Thanks for any advice!

firefox247 Posted March 7, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Yes, you can reserve ahead of time. I believe that MTD reservations open up when the rest of reservations open up, so probably 90-120 days before sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep checking your Cruise Planner on Royal's website to see when reservations open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanzD Posted March 7, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Sailing on the Harmony in June. I previously reserved all of the my time dining reservations but now when I log on to my cruise planner it says that my reservation is unable to make any changes to complimentary dining reservations. Does that mean I now have early dining? My travel agent previously told me that early dining was closed as was the wait list. That's why I hurried up and reserved 6pm time slot for every night of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanzD Posted March 7, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 7, 2017 OK I have logged on to "My Cruises" on the RCCL site. Where will it say what type of dining I have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanzD Posted March 7, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Nevermind. Just saw at the bottom of the screen it shows we have My Time Dining. I guess i just need to call my TA to see why I can't make any changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterlegs Posted March 7, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I have been trying to book dining reservations and the website keeps telling me to try when I board the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted March 7, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I have been trying to book dining reservations and the website keeps telling me to try when I board the ship. I'd keep checking, it seems too early for all slots to be taken, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterlegs Posted March 7, 2017 #11 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I'd keep checking, it seems too early for all slots to be taken, I dont think it is to do with the slots been taken at all as it wont even let me request a time. Same thing as when requesting entertainment bookings and I have learned that you dont request them in advance on FOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare firegal2539 Posted March 7, 2017 #12 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Under Royal's FAQs there is a section about My Time Dining. You can make reservations by calling 800-590-6218, but if you booked through a TA they have to call to reserve. You can also email open seat at rccl dot com and reserve that way.
