It's their July, so think hot! We were there in March

Our favorite port (Other than Sydney), was Adelaide. Beautiful city. They even had a band great us as we came in to port. I became a Adelaide Crows fan during that cruise.  Melboure was a disappointment as we were there on a Tuesday and apparently shops like to close on Tuesdays. Poor planning on the ships part.

 I don't understand the above statement, I'm from Melbourne and I think someone is pulling your leg (probably someone from Sydney ). Shops are open Tuesday in Melbourne  - even the Victoria Market opens on a Tuesday (closed Mon&Wed).   It's the second (or could be the first now) largest city in Australia. It's a very beautiful city with wonderful architecture, great shopping district, and considered Australia's culture, food and cafe capital. Adelaide is a lovely city - the city of churches. Sydney is in a beautiful location.

Also - South Island New Zealand is on the cool side, even though it is the middle of summer (roughly 18C/64F). 

Thanks everyone for your replies, I appreciate the responses. I emailed reservations and they clarified for me that I was booked for early seating traditional dining.  It would still be nice for that to be indicated on my  planner.

You can reserve times for MTD from your Calendar in the Planner.  MTD is classified as an activity.

Click on My Calendar, the click "Add Activity", select Dining, select your day.  When the dining activities pop up, find My Time Dining then add it to your cart.  At that point, you can select the passengers and you'll be presented with a list of possible times.  You'll eventually check out and you're all set.

Thanks for the suggestion - I've actually tried to add MTD as an activity from calendar but it doesn't give me the option to add it to cart. The other restaurants (including solarium bistro) do, but not MTD.  I'll chase it up and find out what's going on with it. Thanks again

Thanks so much for the input. I think I'm getting confused because I can't see anywhere to book MDR dining in my planner. Others have told me they have been able to book My Time but I can't nor can I see if I have been booked for any.  When hubby and I cruised Princess, many years ago, they only had early or late dining - so when I booked I just said we'd prefer to eat early than late -- didn't know what MyTime was, I do now. I'm just someone who likes to plan early  . 

I'll see if I can find out through official channels.  Thanks again, I appreciate it, very helpful  

Hi all,

My family and I are going on our first cruise Jan next year.  

When we booked the cruise, the confirmation invoice  received stated –

Dining (Waitlist)  MY TIME (5:30 PM) under each of our names. 

Does this mean we are booked for dining at 5:30PM? I can’t find anything to indicate our dining time on our Cruise Planner (not even on the calendar), it only has options for booking specialty dining.  Other people have told me that they are able to book My Time dining times on their planners, but there is no option for me to do that. I’m ok with 5:30PM, if that’s the time, as that is our preference, but I wanted to double check rather than assuming. I’m hoping to be as organised as possible before embarkation, so I can relax and avoid too much rushing around organising things    Thanks 

It showed up in my Jan 2020 today
