Golf4Tony Posted August 22, 2016 Report Posted August 22, 2016 Hi, Sure this will turn out to be a dumb question but oh well..... Booked Anthem for next summer 9 night Caribbean. Seems on My Cruise page I am unable to book any dining, beverage or even change my dining type. Is there a time period this opens or since I have an outstanding payment due I am unable to book any items for my cruise such as dining? Assuming the answer is yes and that would make sense to me just confirming. Quote
WAAAYTOOO Posted August 23, 2016 Report Posted August 23, 2016 Not a dumb question at all ! Unfortunately, there is no single answer to this one. Dining rez can open at most any time but you can expect it to be open at LEAST 60 -90 days prior to sail date. My upcoming Harmony dining will have been open for nearly a year by the time we finally sail in Feb 17 but my upcoming Navigator Christmas 16 dining bookings just opened up a couple of weeks ago approx 140 days out. There's just no right answer to this question. I truly have no earthly idea what the criteria is for opening up the dining reservations ! They just do it when they do it. Keep checking. ...and it doesn't have anything to do with whether not you have an outstanding balance, BTW. If you want to change your dining option, I recommend you call RCI directly or have your TA call for you if you used one. The sooner you get that changed the more likely you are to get the option you really want. gareth 1 Quote
DocLC Posted August 23, 2016 Report Posted August 23, 2016 Only Disney, to the best of my knowledge, requires that the balance be paid in full before you can reserve dining. Quote
arebee Posted August 23, 2016 Report Posted August 23, 2016 My dining just opened up last week, I'm on the Oasis for the beginning of December. A little over 100 days out. EmersonNZ 1 Quote

Golf4Tony Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Posted August 23, 2016 Thank you for clearing that up. Guess we will keep checking. Quote
Rjh8842 Posted August 28, 2016 Report Posted August 28, 2016 I am going in March and reservations just opened. Quote
Sweety Posted August 28, 2016 Report Posted August 28, 2016 Anthem, Dec 23,2016 reservations are open. Just booked a couple of shows and North star. Very excited about the holidays. Quote
EmersonNZ Posted September 7, 2016 Report Posted September 7, 2016 Yep... it seems the rule of thump is... there is no rule of thump. Our specialty dining option opened up at about the 180 mark for Ovation sailing out of Sydney at the end of Jan. Quote
bcarney Posted September 8, 2016 Report Posted September 8, 2016 I'm at 205 days for my April 1, 2017 Rhapsody cruise and dining is available for reservations. Beverage packages are not, however. Quote
