Specialty dinner reservations on board or before?

[Jenniii]

Should I make a reservation before the cruise, or after we board? We have a complimentary dinner for 2 from our travel agent, and I think this has to be reserved on the ship. However we are a group of 3 so that means the other person has to pay for the specialty dinner. Should the third person book beforehand or come with us to reserve when we are on board?

I'm sure once you board you can go to whatever restaurant you want to book and explain it will be no big deal. The restaurants are board are very accommodating.

Onboard.   They do not book all reservations online before anyway.  Always a big selection once you board.

I do not think the other people understood your question.  Book the one you have to pay now during black Friday sales.  You will get your dinner day and time plus the sale price.  Then when you get on the ship add the other two people to your reservation.

We had vouchers from our TA a few times and found it necessary to take them to a restaurant on Day 1 and explain in detail before we could get reservations.  Even at restaurant I sometimes needed to explain the voucher.  As stated, the 3rd party should reserve in advance for best price.  The vouchers will be in your final paperwork along with luggage tags, itinerary, etc. So you would print those before you travel.
