Last Minute Cruise, dinner waitlisted

[BIGDADDY2587]

just booked a pack and go for the dec 31st paradise new years cruise

at the time we booked, the only time for dinner available was 6pm

 

so we are wait listed for 8:15

 

do you think its likely that once we board and talk with the maitre d , they can switch us? any experience with this? or are we out of luck

 

6pm is way to early for us.. thanks in advance

I think you'll have good luck in moving to the later dining time. People seem to want the earlier time slot.

Yep, there is a good chance .

I love early dining ,just feel to stuffed after 6.

I wasn`t able to switch from late to early (DH is diabetic, has to eat early) on our Thanksgiving cruise on the Elation. Maitre D told us just to show up as if we had our time dining.

 

It become a chore to get seated each night so we ended up just eating on Lido.

 

However that is not to say that you will not be able to do it, so just give it a go.. Might work for you.;)

[BIGDADDY2587]

alright, will give it a shot

thanks alot!

I think you will be ok also...we do late seating and on our cruise last week they talked us into anytime dining. When we got to the ship our cards said early which we never do. All I said to the Maitre D was we were sched incorrectly and he made the change. I think early is the preferred so moving out is easier than moving into it. dont sweat it

Hi their did you get a good deal on the pack and go?

[Bunkie103]

If by chance you are Platinum, just flash your card. That did it for me.:D

Yup - Platinum gets guaranteed dining time of choice. If you have a health issue like diabetes that requires you to eat at a certain time notify special needs. They can get you switched to the seating of your choice.

not quite platinum yet.. this is going to be my 8th carnival cruise

 

but i hope it works out

 

 

and yea, surprisingly got a great deal on the pack and go

it was $309 per person for inside gty before tax

considering its a new years cruise, i think its a good deal
