kaz828 Posted June 3 #1 Share Posted June 3 Leaving later this week for our first Celebrity cruise on the Reflection! We have Anytime dining. Do each of the main dining/restaurants have all the same menu? Why chose one over another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare WrittenOnYourHeart Posted June 3 #2 Share Posted June 3 Reflection only has one main dining room - just 2 levels, one for fixed and one for any time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do each of the main dining/restaurants have all the same menu? Why chose one over another? First Celebrity cruise or just first on Reflection? Essentially, on the Solstice class ships (and to some extent the Millennium class), there is a large main dining room at the lower back of the ship (two floors) where you can eat a relatively nice meal with good service. Also, menus on the S and the M class for the main dining room are pretty familiar across the ships with some variety, but also a lot of "classic" options. At other places on the ship are the SPECIALTY restaurants, and they have their OWN menus - often with a specialty like steak, sushi, etc.. And, of course, you have the buffet at the top rear (Oceanview), which serves food all day and into the late evening, and you could easily eat there anytime. Other smaller food places as well scattered about the ship and plenty of bars (generally no food). The Edge class ships went the route of FOUR main dining rooms with - I think (never gone) their own menus.

Check out the ship specific part of the Celebrity website and you can see the dining options, and also things like the deck plans which help you see where things are laid out. I also forgot to mention the Aqua class (Blu) restaurant and the Retreat class (Luminae) restaurants which you have access to if you are in those. For many, the main dining room is more than enough. For many others, it's all about trying out all the specialty restaurants (for additional cost). There is no shortage of good food especially if it is the first time on Celebrity. After many cruises, you'll know the menus and options (they evolve but not super fast), but at the beginning, it's a lot of choices (and they don't say no to trying more than one thing - two appetizers, two entrees, two desserts).

Saturngrl Posted June 6 #8 Share Posted June 6 If you have Anytime dining, you will probably want to make reservations for each night via Cruise Planner. This will help you avoid LONG waits to be seated in the MDR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfiemom Posted June 8 #10 Share Posted June 8 That can be done on board. Actually, in our last 5-6 sailings we were anytime and never waited more than 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
