PeloAl Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 We have the 3 night dining plan. Can anyone confirm- do you have to go to one of the specialty restaurants to make reservations OR can you make them on the app once you’re onboard? Just trying to plan a little. Ty!

Matt Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 You have to go to the restaurant. Can’t book reservations through the app if you have a dining package. Ryan79 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeloAl Posted October 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Ok thanks. Seems like such a hassle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you don’t have a dining package and are booking specialty restaurants individually, can you do that through the app? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Sometimes if I really want a specific specialty restaurant on a certain date and time, I’ll book it and pay for it on the Cruise Planner to make sure I get it. When I board, then I’ll book my pre-purchased specialty dinings. So if I have the three night package, I end up having four.

For some (me) the hassle isn’t worth the discount. I’d rather pay more for the day and time I want and knowing that the reservations are set well before I board the ship.

I’ll have to do the math but I don’t think it’ll be beneficial as we’re a party of 4 so it adds up quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once aboard you can make reservations on the app. I think some people misread your post. Once aboard the ship you can do lots of things from the app, I have made reservations that way plenty of times. PeloAl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyDillo Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 Once you connect to the ship's wifi you will be able to make restaurant reservations in the app. Be aware that your dining reservation time that you selected shows on your calendar and often a courtesy reservation was made for you at a restaurant. This happened on my current sailing and it wouldn't let me edit the courtesy reservation or cancel it and switch restaurants so we had to go to the kiosk in the Promenade to have them change it for you. I was able to make lunch and dinner reservations for the rest of the cruise without any issues. PeloAl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike n Ky Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 If we have purchased a DP, we often do, the first two things we do when we get onboard is get our reservations set for the specialty and get the muster done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedNoodles Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 It takes only minutes to stop by the Promenade kiosk or any specialty restaurant to take care of all of your reservations. Any of them can take care of all of the restaurants. Mike T, CruiserNic and PeloAl 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliver9 Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 Hi Where is the Promenade Kiosk? is it easy to identify? Our check-in time is at 11, I wonder how long the line is in the kiosk by the time we get to the promenade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On most ships you enter onto the Promenade (or very close), so it won't take long to get there. You won't have a long line early in the day like that. oliver9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look for the table/counter in the Promenade with the photos of food and/or the specialty restaurant menus. There usually are several tables there for different things like internet, the spa, shops and the dining reservations. oliver9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chops+1 was $85 and one night specialty was like $54...the current price for 3 nights is not bad at all...kinda like a buy 2 get 1 free, if you will.

FManke Posted October 23, 2022 Report Share Posted October 23, 2022 If your booked in a suite, the suite concierge can pretty much get the time you want with a quick email to them. We just did that last week. One of the nice perks of sailing in a suite. We had 7:00 dinner reservations, which for most is considered prime time and there were still quite a few tables available.

We got our email from our concierge, 6 days out. I gave him our times and he e-mailed back the confirmation the next day. Happy Cruising!
