Thanks! that is a relief!

Thank you, i had read differing opinions about booking lunch, so , we are definitely going to book our lunches

Yes, i know its more, but, we have NEVER done hibachi on a RCCL ship...so its been on our bucket list for a while. So, regardless of the upcharge...we will definitely be going.

Good Morning All! So, today was check in day for our cruise on Wonder in September! We purchased unlimited dining for the 1st time, so I'm hoping I could pick a few experienced brains for some of our questions. I know we have to book all of our dining as SOON as we get on the boat. So, to that end, I scheduled our check in time for 1030am, happy I could get it. However, my family is a party of 5, but we are traveling with extended family that will make us a party of 7, all with unlimited dining. However, the other two aren't checking in until 1130. So, please see below questions: 1. I have read all dining reservations can be booked at any of the specialty restaurants at a single time instead of running from restaurant to restaurant to book each, is this true? 2. I know Hibachi is the hardest to get, is it better to go TO the hibachi restaurant to book my dining reservations so i can try and book that first? 3. without the full party of 7 being on board at the time of booking, will they still allow me to book for all 7 if I have the other party's room and reservation number? 4. I think I read that we can use our UDP on embarkation day for lunch at one of the specialty restaurants? Is that true, and, if so, does anyone know which of them will be open? 5. any other hints, tips, tricks, etc about the unlimited dining would be super helpful. We have the unlimited drinks and unlimited dining...so its sure to be quite the trip. I am always looking for ways to make the most of it. We are foodies and haven't been enamored with the main dining room, so we always gravitate to the specialty dining, and being an Oasis class ship the dining plan will allow us to try them all. Thanks everyone, appreciate it!

Agreed. That was my question 🙂 however I called and was told “just show up, we will accommodate you at the earlier time”

Thank you. I’ve never been on Celebrity nor done concierge so I was unsure what “priority boarding” meant since that’s listed on my list of benefits that I got from Celebrity. Most of this is all new to me.

Thanks. Worth trying.

I asked and someone assumed I was talking about suites. In their response they seemed to acknowledge they answered about suites. But I didn’t get a yes or no I’m regards to concierge. So I was hoping that by opening up the question to a broader audience I might stumble across someone who has experience as a concierge guest. So, I guess thanks for taking the time to respond without providing any pertinent info.

I have a question I can’t find the answer to. I had a cruise cancelled at the last minute (two weeks out) so we quickly rebooked for one for the same week. But when I went to check in for the new one, the only check in time available was 130pm versus the 1130am I had for the first. But we are concierge and supposed to have priority boarding. So, my question is, can I show up early since we are concierge instead of waiting until 130pm? Has anyone had luck with this? Will they turn me away?
