I have found the same thing for our October trip---- only 9:15 available--- and I've been checking for the past 4 months. A few days ago, 6:45 became available for the last night, so I booked it. Will just keep checking.

I've been reading that some are making their MTD reservations in advance. Our cruise is in 4 months, and the app has only given an option of a 9:15 dining time each night, which is too late (we're looking for 8 pm). Is it possible that there's nothing a little earlier???? I've been checking for the past month, and 9:15 has been the only option. We're splurging on a suite, so I'm hoping when we get our email the week before sailing that we can book something then. We do intend to eat in Coastal Kitchen some nights, but the menu just doesn't look appealing, unfortunately. We're also fine with the buffet some nights and ordering room service some nights, so we certainly won't starve!! Thanks for any insight on MTD being so booked.

I did get an answer back in a month

Just an FYI -------- Those cabanas do look wonderful ........... but ............. a few months ago they were listed at $1699 for our October cruise on the Symphony, but have gone up to $1899. Not within our budget. Hope you find something that works for you.

Be sure to check out the CK menus on the app. I was looking forward to eating in CK very much, until I checked out the menus. I doubt that my husband will be interested in most of the dinner choices (both apps and entrees), so expect that we'll be in the main dining room or buffet for many of the dinners....... or ordering room service from the main dining room!!! Guess he's kind of picky. But I fully expect to enjoy breakfast there, and some lunches. But we're definitely looking forward to the suite, the suite lounge, and the suite sun deck. We'd love to try an aqua suite, to be able to enjoy the HUGE balcony and our comfy view of the aqua show. Enjoy!!!!

You can also go to the main dining room as soon as you board the ship and ask if MTD is available and see if you can switch. If it is, you could also make reservations at that time, or just show up when you choose. Good luck! If you do end up with early dining, you can also ask if it's possible to be seated at a table for two, if you choose.
