Thanks everyone! This is helpful as I have a lot to learn.
So am I understanding right, that even with My Time, you have to book reservations? I've sailed on NCL with Freestyle dining when we just went whenever we felt like it.
Which 2 restaurants do you get to choose from?
With Traditional, do you get the same servers each night? Can you do that without getting table mates? We prefer to dine with just our family.
You don’t have to choose MTD reservations ahead of time, but you can... we did because we thought we had to but never showed up at the times we picked
Just go when you want but you may have a bit of a wait.
If you know in advance ok Monday I want to eat at 7 and Tuesday at 6:30, see a show at 8 etc - go ahead and choose those times to hopefully minimize your wait...
On Anthem there are 4 main dining rooms, American Icon Grill, Silk, Grande and Chic.
I think 2 are on deck 3 do 2 on deck 4.
They are right across from each other.
Two are designated for MTD and two for fixed (early and late) dining.
If you are on fixed it will say which restaurant and table on your room card. Yes same servers too. I bet you can request own table.
MTD you just show up to the designated deck and will be seated where they have availability. As I said though they asked us if we had a preference - for us it was Silk and American Icon Grill as MTD venues.
In the end with MTD we ended up eating in each of the main dining rooms anyway because had dinner in both Silk and American Icon Grill.
Grande had menu breakfast daily... and we did the character breakfast at Chic...
