J_Keeble Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 I'm currently on allure and purchased the BOGO dining for nights 1 and 2 I've booked this 3 times in the last and always managed to booked chops,150 etc but this cruise they said it was only for samba grill and giovannis table. It would make sense as it is a really cheap price for 2 restaurants but I've done the same on 3 other occasions and had no problems booking chops and 150. Has anyone else had any expert aces with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca Ann Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 I don't mean to take over your post, but I booked a BOGO for my cruise next week. It's the first time I purchased this and when I booked, all it asked me for was what time I wanted a reservation for on night 1. It didn't give me an option to choose a restaurant or do anything for night 2. Do you do that once you're on board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm I'm not sure I didn't make it clear,but on embarkation day I went into 150 and tried to book and she said about it being samba grill and giovannis only. Maybe a miss communication but I would of thought it would of showed up on her pic that we had he normal BOGO? ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbk999 Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Are you/Were you on the Allure? We did a Bogo and when we booked it they first gave us a time slot. THe first thing we did once we got on board was to go to the MDR to see what the reservations were and to possibly change them out. They had booked us into Samba and Giovannis. We tried to change to 150 Central on the first night but they were booked but we were able to switch to Chops (big mistake, should have kept Samba). As an aside, you should have no trouble getting Sabor for dinner, it was a ghost town at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Rico Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 I'm sorry you had trouble with your dining reservations, but it's good to read that in the past you were able to book Chops and 150. I am on the edge for booking BOGO for our May cruise on Harmony. I would like to try 150 or Wonderland, but I think it's going to be difficult to book since you have to wait until you get on-board to reserve. Would mind telling me about your past experiences being able to book BOGO specialty restaurants on Oasis class ships? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have booked on harmony oasis and symphony and never had any trouble at all with anything, they always allowed the offer to be used at 150, chops and wonderland. I never had nay problems booking in to any restaurant. I would recommend once you have booked the BOGO that the first thing you do onboard is to book the resturants you want and the times. that ay you will get the times that you want. again from experience I've never had nay problems apart from Allure where is wasn't in the mood to argue so just went with it and had a great time.

The person helping us looked to be undergoing some on the job training as she had someone over her shoulder helping her. Maybe you got her before she got assistance....
