My Time Dining

[sunset7]

Hello Everyone!

I was trying to make My Time Dining reservations for my March 2025 Oasis cruises.  I don't have access to any time choices.

Is is true that you don't make those reservations until on board?  i was able to make my upcoming Sept cruise reservations a year in advance.

I think it's an IT issue and hear that they are making some changes to the MTD times. I haven't been able to book our MTD for our upcoming NYE cruise either. I keep checking but will need to have patience. Cheers!

Reservations are not mandatory for MTD.

Yep, I know that (not so sure the OP does), but having fixed reservations makes it much easier to get seated quicker vs standing in a long no-reservations line, so it's a matter of choice for us. Thanks!

FYI, reservations just recently opened up for my Jan 4 cruise on Vision.

I think it just depends. Both my daughter/granddaughter and married friends had no issue walking up and being seated within 10 minutes. I think parties of 2 might get seated quicker. This was early though, technically before MTD opened, so maybe that was why.

But it dictates which line you have to stand in when you show up to the dining room.

I was recent able to make MTD reservation for my November cruise on Liberty, but unable to make reservations for our Symphony cruise in February. I’ll keep trying.

I just made MTD reservations for our August 2025 Brilliance cruise.  Used the app.

No, but you'll be seated more quickly if you have reservations.  They don't really care if you're 10-15 minutes early or late, but they do seat you faster if you have reservations. 

You can always cancel /change your reservations once you're onboard.  No reason not to make reservations.

Yes, it's easy to do it in the app.
