Learned through mistakes.  I did a 9 night cruise and went through one by one, day by day, "purchasing" each one individually, filling out my name and email address each time, 9 times.  When I found that shortcut I was like... Doh! 

Me...literally 

Ahhh, thanks for the tip @twangster . Will know for next time.

Thank you for the warm welcome . Appreciate all of your input! Can't wait to experience our first cruise.

I tend to love most things Royal Caribbean but the website experience isn't one of them.  I often find little old tidbits of days gone by such as on Anthem.  It once had dynamic dining but that ended a while ago.  To this day it still references dynamic dining in the cruise planner even though that is long gone.   

Booking MTD on certain ships requires individual checkouts for each night while other ships you can make reservations for the whole cruise and check out once.  

I normally just let gratuity roll onto my onboard account and never have had an issue with MTD reservations.

Welcome to Royal IT. 

Agreed. I did experience a couple of weird glitches when I first signed up. Not very user friendly. I literally had to "purchase" each day's MTD separately. When I tried to do it all at once the system only gave the option to modify, so I kept on changing the previous reservation to the next day, until I realized what was going on.

Hi everyone, so glad to have found this forum! My two kids and I will be taking our first cruise in two weeks from Galveston on Liberty of the Seas. I have chosen MTD when making the reservation online. I have been reading on several other forums/websites that for MTD you must have pre-paid gratuities. When I booked the cruise, it gave me the option to either pre-pay the $13.50/pp/pd gratuity charge or to have it charged to my onboard account at the end of the cruise. I chose to have it billed at the end. Yesterday I logged on to my account and was able to reserve MTD for each day of my cruise. Was this a glitch or does the system not recognize that I did not pre-pay gratuities and then they won't honor it once on board? I received e-mail confirmations as well. Thanks in advance for your input!
