Royal Caribbean will roll out its flexible dining program to Oasis of the Seas next year — and possibly to the rest of its fleet.
The “Dynamic Dining” concept — which is being launched on its two newest ships Quantum of the Seas and Anthem of the Seas — marks the end of fixed time seating and main dining rooms and introduces flexible, multichoice dining.
The new program will give passengers a choice of 18 restaurants, of which seven will be fee-free for all guests: four full-service and three casual eateries. A new reservations system also will be used onboard so passengers can decide when, where and with whom they want to eat each night.
Royal Caribbean has not made an official announcement yet, but it was mentioned unofficially at the Quantum shipyard visit last week and tweeted by Royal Caribbean.
A Royal Caribbean spokesperson confirmed: “We have confirmation from head office in Miami that Dynamic Dining will be introduced on Oasis of the Seas in 2015. It was mentioned at the yard visit, however as yet no official announcements have been made.”
Quantum of the Seas makes its debut in the U.K. on October 31 this year before repositioning to Bayonne, New Jersey in November. The ship ultimately will be based in Shanghai, beginning spring 2015. Anthem of the Seas launches in April 2015 and will based in Southampton.
