Creator's Key Takeaways

When you're taking a cruise, one important decision you have to make involves this, the main dining room, and that is if you want scheduled dining or you want to be flexible.

With set time dining in the MDR, the benefits are that you get the same serving crew every night and they really get to learn your preferences.

Flexible dining is great because you can come anytime you want, but you probably have to wait.

So, yeah, that's the downside of flexible dining. You get a different crew each night.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Choose scheduled dining if you want the same crew and table each night.
Opt for flexible dining if you prefer to eat whenever you're hungry.
