Choose the Dining Style That Works for You Celebrity Cruises understands that everyone vacations a little differently. Some cruisers like having a set routine and knowing exactly when and where they’ll eat each evening. Others would rather keep things flexible and decide what sounds good when the mood strikes.That’s why Celebrity Cruises offers several dining options to fit different vacation styles: Celebrity Select Dining – Choose an early or late traditional dining time and enjoy the consistency of the same schedule each evening. Anytime Dining – Prefer more flexibility? Choose when you want to dine and enjoy dinner on your own schedule. Celebrity Select Dining Early or Late With Celebrity Select Dining Early or Late, you’ll have a designated dinner time each evening, with seating times starting as early as 6:00 p.m. and as late as 8:30 p.m.One of the things I love about traditional dining is the consistency. You’ll typically sit at the same table with the same tablemates and have the same waitstaff throughout your cruise. Before long, you’ll know your servers by name—and your tablemates, too!It’s a great way to make new friends, swap travel stories, and share a few laughs over dinner. After all, some of the best cruise memories happen around the dinner table.Prefer a more private experience? You can also request a table just for your own party. Celebrity Select Dining Anytime The other option, Celebrity Select Dining Anytime, is perfect for cruisers who want a little more flexibility with their evening plans.Maybe you want to stay by the pool a little longer, relax in the adults-only* Solarium, enjoy a pre-dinner drink at the Martini Bar, or simply unwind in your stateroom after a busy day in port. With Anytime Dining, you’re not tied to a specific dinner time.You can choose to dine anytime between 6:00 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Just head to the Main Dining venue when you’re ready, and the dining team will seat you as quickly as possible.The best part? Celebrity Select Dining Early, Late, and Anytime all feature the same menus, with no additional cost.Each evening brings a different menu, along with a few favorites that remain available every night.There is one thing to keep in mind: Anytime Dining is limited on each sailing and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. If you decide you’d like to switch your dining arrangement, check with the Maître d’ to see if space is available.*Solarium kids’ hours are available from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on select itineraries, including Antarctica, Alaska, and the Baltics. Is Celebrity Select Dining Offered on All Ships?
