Thanks for the info. We were looking at the holiday inn through the holidays extra website. I think it's about £300 for hotel and parking. I like the idea of just ditching the car at the hotel so we can start our holiday rather than faffing about with parking on the day if departure.

We plan on driving down the day before and staying in one of the hotels that includes parking. Been quoted over £220 just for parking but can get b&b and 15nights parking for about £300

So it turns out we have the premium package which only includes the other restaurants, so that's why I got charged for the speciality booking. No harm done though and managed to book the other restaurants we fancy at good times.

It's the med cruise we are going on. I'm sure my wife will be taking sickness tablets with us just incase though. I think she has watched too many YouTube videos 😂

Did it let you book the speciality restaurants without charging you?

Hi all, We are booked in for our first ever cruise in September on the sky princess leaving from Southampton, Im finding it a bit more baffling than just booking a normal flight and hotel type holiday. I have downloaded the app and it lets us log in. I know it's months away but rightly or wrongly we thought we might book one of the speciality restaurants since we have read they book up quick. We have the princess premier package which includes 2 speciality meals and also $300 room credit. We tried booking for a couple of different times but it showed an error saying there was no availability. It finally let us book for 6pm. I added my credit card as it seemed to need one to book it. They took the money from my card instantly. Is this normal even though we have meals included and room credit. Any other tips about booking meals would be good. We would rather enjoy the speciality restaurants on sea days. Is that a good idea or not. Thanks in advance
