Can you request your My Time Dining before a cruise?

We will be on Allure and would like to have a table for 2 by the window. Any suggestions?

Ask for one at the MTD podium on the ship when you arrive for dinner.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was hoping I could get it all squared away before I even go on the ship.

When you are 2 or 3 weeks out from your sail date email rcldining@rccl.com 

Reference your booking number, sail date, ship name and your names when placing your request.

Once onboard go to the MDR and ask to see where your table is located.

Thank you, Sunshine. I've put this information in my calendar for 4 weeks prior to the cruise.

That will not work for mytime, it will work for early or late traditional.

You can request a time for each night online before sailing and make table requests at the podium as suggested

On Navigator in July I went to MDR as soon as we boarded and was able to change my time for the entire cruise.  We didn't request a specific table as there were four of us and we just took what was available when we got there.

We had same table on Allure for B2B last week.  Helps to have a 6:45 dining time (and get there at 6:20 first night) when MTD opens since the dining room on 3 is used by fixed seating before.  If you are getting the same table sometimes the fixed diners aren't done and you have to wait.  Or they will put you somewhere else if you don't want to wait.

 

Tip (assumes they don't renumber the tables) - table 3 and 4 are way over to the left in a hallway.  Very quiet and have windows.  Tables can seat 4 but we had table 4 for 2.  Downside of this location is that it is a long way from the kitchen.  First cruise that showed.  Second had an assistant waiter that hustled to get our food and drinks.

 

Also, Moonish worked at the Donut Shop that cruise.  He said that the donuts in the Windjammer were made in advance and sent up there.  Donuts for the Donut Shop were made on 6 behind the Dog House and put out immediately.  We agree - the Donut Shop donuts were much fresher (and more types). 

 

As of last week it was getting dark around 7:15, so less of an advantage having a window seat.  But the quiet back there is fantastic.
