On the attached Reserve Collection flyer, there is a list of "Elevated Amenities and Services" on page 2. One of the items on this list is "Priority specialty dining reservations". I'm a little confused on what this means. There is already a separate section on page 2 which refers to the "exclusive dining area" where there is "no wait or reservations" required. But this is a separate item which is specifically referring to reservations. What reservations? Specialty dining? To me, that is the Specialty Dining restaurants (Crown Grill or Sabatini's for example). Will we be given priority reservations for these restaurants? And if so, how? Also, evening canapes upon request? How good are the canapes? Thank you. We're looking forward to our cruise in September to Hawaii! Reserve Collection Benefits.pdf

Thank you for this recommendation. We are also low-key and this is perfect. I just visited their website and tour price is $20. I jut want to make sure it's the same tour you're recommending. Also, once purchased tours are non-refundable. Our cruise is in September. How far in advance did you purchase your tour tickets? https://konabrewinghawaii.com/come-visit#kona-pub-and-brewery Thank you!

Ellipooh - Thank you! I appreciate your response. This is very helpful.

Thank you, I appreciate your response. So IC (International Cafe) is free? Free for everyone? No restrictions at all? What about Coffee and Cones? Also totally free for everyone? Where are the premium desserts served?

My husband and I are scheduled for the Ruby Princess in September. First time on Princess. We've only been on two other cruises, Norwegian and Celebrity. Both of those cruise ships had free dining or Specialty Dining. It was simple, you either paid or you didn't. Now there is this prix-fixe dining menu, Plus and Premier, which is just confusing to me. I think I'm finally getting it. But I'm confused on the International Cafe and Coffee and Cones. Are those included in Plus or not? I understand Premium can get unlimited desserts from Coffee and Cones, right? And what about people who don't have either Plus or Premium. Is anything "free" for those folks at these two places? Thanks for clarifying.
