Review summary

Could not get my charges in my room. It was real hard to get the passcode in. Had to go to the desk for clarifications

Hard time getting the same table and waiter for dinner. Never knew where we were sitting. Long line to get into dinner. Most people did not dress for dinner. I thought it was a dress up affair.

Great accommodations! Wait staff was fabulous and very friendly food was great

You can request the same staff each night at YTD. With the exception of one night we had Mark and his staff. We typically showed up for dinner between 6:45-7:15 and were quite fortunate to not have to wait for a table.

We always do anytime dining. We like to eat when we're hungry, not too late and not too early. Luckily, the only time we had to wait was on elegant night. Other times got seated right away.

Yes, that is the downside of anytime dining. Having the same wait staff is fun because they get to know you so well. I remember my son in law said he didn't want any dessert one evening. When they came out to serve our dessert he gave duane an empty plate with words piped in chocolate saying Nothing.....was a great memory.

We don't like anytime. Like having same waiter every night and getting to know them.

Only fixed dining times will you get the same table and assigned guests each night at dinner. Your time dining may mean a wait for a table plus usually a different location in the dining room each night. My husband and I prefer this option. We have never had to wait longer than 1/2 an hour though and that was the first formal night of the cruise.
