doubleJ Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 We have 12 people sailing together on Harmony. When we booked the only time we could get was 8PM. Seems a little late for dinner with 6 kids. Is it hard to get seated earlier in the MDR? How does that work? Wait for a table like a normal restaurant? We could easily break up with 6 per table.

Early seating is probably "sold out" for your sailing, but hope is not lost. 1. Call Royal (or your travel agent if you used one) and get on the waitlist for early seating. When anyone cancels their cruise or changes their dining, those slots open up. 2. If that doesn't work out, go to the MDR as soon as you board the ship. Tell them what you want and there is a great chance they will accommodate you. We needed to make some changes on Symphony last May and there was a confirmation note in our cabin about 2 or 3 hours later.

I did call a couple times and was told that was all they had available. I wish I would have known to ask for the wait list. We sail Sunday, so way too late for that option . We will do as you recommend and ask upon boarding the ship. Need to also book our two nights at the specialty restaurants. Knock both out at the same time.
