My time dining on RCL
 

We did a number of cruises on Princess and NCL because we liked the free style, i.e. be able to get a table for two whenever we were ready for dinner. How does this compare to the ''my time dining'' on RCL. How does this compare to Princess & NCL ?Can we easily get a table for two ?

We have done 3 cruises on Princess in 2009 and always got a table for 2 w/o any trouble. Of course remember that the table is close to another table but we did prefer this as to being at a larger table.

Keep in mind with RCL you have to pre-pay your gratuities in order to do the my time dinning. There should be no problem getting a table for 2.

Don't know much about 'my time dining' on RCL, do you still have to choose early or later dining when booking and then request 'my time' for a particular night or is 'my time' a choice when booking?

Looking for transfer from hotel to Cruise Ship Serenade. what hotels offer shuttle to cruise ship?

"Keep in mind with RCL you have to pre-pay your gratuities in order to do the my time dinning."

I wonder what this means. There is an option of pre-paying tips, or paying them on the last day of the cruise. And this has nothing to do with the type of dining.

My Time Dining does stipulate that you pay your gratuities up front - its in the T&Cs because you won't necessarily get the same server / maitre d' each time you eat so they like to think all of the guys get their dues

Our friends on RCCL paid on the last day of cruise, they had any time dining, don't remember which ship though. They got the cruise through a travel agent, maybe this is why?
