Anytime dining question

[moongal]

Does everyone in the cabin have to eat at the same time? If hubby and I want to eat earlier, can we eat in the MDR and the kids (19 &17) eat later in the MDR?

You can all eat at different times. :)

Yes, Everyone can eat as they please. They just tell the people seating them what cabin they are in and they can then be seated. It is nice though for families to sometimes plan to eat together because the rest of the day they may all be running around doing separate things.

Could we go at 5:45 and then again at 9?

They do scan your card the first time. This may not work.

I’ve never had my card scanned. They’ve only asked for my room number.

Another thing.....

For brunch you can also eat twice, and/or go separately.

Why not ? There is no limit on the quantity of food you are allowed to consume.

Make a stop at the Lido buffet between 5:45 and 9 :o

Ive been to the MDR twice in one night with ATD. Had an early dinner, wasnt ready for dessert, went to a show and back to the MDR for dessert.

You are correct. This is what I was thinking of.

[MommyAJ6]

I'm giddy just thinking about it!

They ask for your room number, I think this is to verify you are in the correct seating (anytime vs. traditional). I would think you could be seated twice (and makes sense for a later dessert), but would advise checking with your Maitre D on embarkation day just to be sure.

I doubt they have a card scanner in the MDR.

You would be incorrect.

I couldnt even imagine doing that--LOL

 

and isnt the anytime dining room-- so many seats for so many people..

 

i could imagine if half the people did that-

 

but at 9 or so it would cut into the show times

I doubt the OP is suggesting two full meals at 5:30 and 9, but rather splitting the meal (apps and entree early, coffee & dessert later). I doubt most passengers would do it, but I think it's an interesting option. I know we've had nights where the entrees didn't look good but desserts did, and we just opted for lido. We might consider going to MDR late just for dessert next cruise (or just have a lighter meal of apps, salad & dessert and skip the entree).

I love the idea of split the meal. May have to try anytime dining.

Yep! I appreciate the different points of view and ways of thinking on this site - always gives me something new to try for the next cruise to make it better:D
