tonyfsu21 Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 Can anyone recall if pre booking is available to reserve tables or chairs on the Promenade for NYE? I feel silly asking considering we have cruised during this holiday for 5+ years I just don’t remember the process. I’m not looking for dining reservation's. Thanks!

From all the NYE sailings that I have done, I cannot recall them being available ahead of time for booking. If you are in a suite, I think you can ask the suite concierge when they reach out a few days prior, that's the earliest from what I can recall. Otherwise, you book them once you get on board. For our Odyssey sailing this year, it begins on 12/31 and I don't recall seeing anything in the cruise planner yet about NYE tables yet. tonyfsu21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 I don't recall seeing prebooking. Usually once onboard, although suite concierge might give their guests a heads up a couple of days before the cruise. tonyfsu21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan79 Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 This was not an option for Harmony last NYE. That’s all I can vouch for personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will just miss you. We are sailing out of PE the next day. If you are in a suite, I would reach out to the concierge. That is likely your best bet. tonyfsu21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am on this same cruise.. Long long ago, the suite concierge used to send out a seating map of the tables that were being set up along the Promenade and you could book the exact table you wanted the week prior. More recently, they have been reserving you in just a generic area and you wait and see where they place your namecard when you arrive that night. On some of the smaller ships, when we boarded, there were already tables set up with little signs that said "Buy me for NY eve". This being a larger ship, not sure what they will do but can circle back (if I remember ) when we receive the concierge email. Can't wait! tonyfsu21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovetocruise2002 Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 This thread has prompted me to go back to my live blog from SY NYE last year. This seems like something I would have documented. Sure enough, I did. Our suite concierge reached out to us a few days before sailing with the price list for promenade venues. The prices were not pretty. I am willing to bet they will be even uglier this year tonyfsu21 and WAAAYTOOO 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I will always upsize my happy meal but this is going slightly overboard. I think we will watch the promenade movie unfold at midnight while standing.

That's how we felt too last year. It's just too much. But fair warning, standing in the promenade wasn't too fun either. It was super crowded. I wonder where they will do the countdown on Odyssey this year. We have never done NYE on a Quantum class ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the music hall is big enough but that would be my choice on that ship. You guys will have an amazing time.
