Based on our room category (2 couples my friend and I with our husbands) we can only make our specialty dining reservation the day of sailing. Do you think we’ll be able to even book at Manfredi and Chef’s Table? This is making me nervous. I’d be so disappointed if we can’t even try these places out.

I am not sure I understand the – set times- for dinner?

I think they mean the normal times of opening for the dining room. In other words, if it is open you can go when you like and dine with whom you like.
