carryoncruising

We've done many European cruises and have never gone over the top on formal nights. We dress as if we were going to a wedding or similar event. Me:- knee length dress - nothing expensive or fancy, black sandals. Husband:- Regular suit, shirt & tie, smart black shoes. Hope that helps.

My sister is sailing in July. She just tried to select a dining time on the App and if she wants to eat at her own private table her first option is 8:40 p.m.. If she wants to eat earlier she would have to share a table. She doesn't want to share and 8:40 is too late for her so..what are her options when she boards? Would she be able to reserve for dinner when she's on the ship (or would there even be any times available at that point)...would she have to line up in the old way and be prepared to wait to get seated? Or.. is she doomed to eat dinner at the buffet or specialty restaurants? It's hard to believe that all the earlier slots are all booked when it's still 70 plus days out and yet it's too early to book an arrival time! Well...we are the complete opposite. We like eating 7-30 or later but could only book tables for 2. We prefer to share and the latest we can book is 6-20! We're not sailing until September so it's only Platinum (us) and Elite who can access this feature until after final payment. Princess say all other times are booked, which I don't think can be true - so if you're on the Emerald on 18th Sept. keep an eye on times becoming available. We're hoping to change some nights.

Thanks everyone. I can see the reservations in the app, but no reference to prepayment. No email from Princess, but I will copy the credit card statement to be on the safe side.

We're not sailing until September, but being a born organiser I've booked Crown Grill and Sabatini's well in advance. I was surprised to see that my credit card has already been charged, and even more surprised that there is no reference to this in the app or on the website. Does anyone know how I can access this info and more to the point, once on board, how I prove these are prepaid and I'm not charged twice? We are a couple of oldies cruising to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary and don't want any hiccups. Thankyou for any help
