Dinning time options on MSC

[roberttz]

Hi,

 Going on Meraviglia in few days...
We are in Fantastica experience which allows to change dinning time.

 6 people (3 couples) booked for early dining.

 
I have done anyTime /yourTime flexible time option on other cruises and we like it.
With only 1 ppl the wait was never longer than 5-15 min.

With 6 people it may be little longer, on the other hand sailings at less capacity this may not be an issue.

BTW: we have marked 3 cabins bookings as travel with.

What are our options on MSC?

Thank you.

As I understand it, Fantastica (and Bella) come with set dining times: early or late seating.  The exact time would be assigned.

To have anytime dining, one must be booked in Aurea.

• This is what it says on the web site...
  Doesn't say much about timing options...

Also found this, which implies I should be above to change online to flexi eary or flexi-late. I could not figure out how to do on their website.

I think the "preferred" above pertains to being able to choose early or late.  The exact time will be assigned.  If it is not a good time for you, you can go to the dining room upon boarding and request a different time.

According to the "experiences" charts, anytime dining only comes with Aurea (and Yacht Club).

I think I saw someone post (with the last few days) that because of the reduced passenger count, MDR dining is open seating. I hope that is the case.

For our September 3rd sailing on the Meraviglia, the first night was open seating but the following nights were at a set time and table.

I will find out soon but based on this statement, I should be able to change the timing...
