Steakhouse Reservation Confirmations

[edbro]

I made reservations several weeks ago. It will be my wife's birthday and I wanted to surprise her. I never heard back from them and I noticed today that they no longer send out confirmations. IMO that is very poor service. How hard can it be?

 

Is there a way to find out beforehand if I have reservations or not?

You can email the steak house directly. Each time I have done this they have confirmed the reservation.

 

Spirit is spsteakhouse@carnival.com.

 

Magic is mcsteakhouse@carnival.com

 

I think it is the first two letters of the ship's name but you may need to play around with it.

I got a confirmation back from the Pride for our reservations.

How did you find out that CCL is not sending out confirmations?

We received ours just a little while back with no problems.

From Carnival's site:

At this time, we do not send out confirmations prior to the cruise indicating that the dinner reservation has been confirmed. The guest will be notified once on board.

I requested Steakhouse reservations about 3 weeks ago on Carnival's website (Manage your cruise section) and got a confirmation by email 2 days later.

 

YMMV

I made reservations for our Sept cruise on the liberty and got a confirmation on 6/20. I think it depends on the ship.

Same experience. Carnival sucks when it comes to e correspondence. At the time they didnt have the disclaimer/excuse that they werent sending out confirmations. They just left me hangin and having no idea if it went through or not.

 

Someone gave me the e-mail of the actual steakhouse and I had to ask them if my reservation went through. About a week later they e-mailed me back and confirmed.

Same for me. And I agree. Why would they stop? Sometimes they really make some stupid decisions. I will say this. One way or another, make sure you confirm it. On our Legend cruise last September, we made reservations on line ahead of time and I got a confirmation promptly. When we arrived for dinner, they did not have our reservation. They were kinda rude about it, like we hadn't actually made the reservation. I swear, for a second, it seemed like they weren't gonna seat us. Mind you, the place was nearly empty. I was kind of taken back by the whole thing. It didn't ruin my meal, but I was a little pissed. This time, I have printed my confirmation and it will be coming with me to dinner.

Just made reservations on the Freedom and was e-mailed within a day telling me my requested time not available, and given alternate times. Once I chose a new time I got an e-mail confimation within minutes. I'd try again- direct to the steakhouse e-mail.

I got a email confirmation about an hour after posting this. Coincidence?

I guess you can't count on what you read........

From Carnival's site:

I reserved this past saturday for conquest and got a steakhouse confirmation email.

[jnmcruise]

we cruise this Sunday and did the reservations just 4 days ago. Recieved comfirmation email a day later... now i will print it off to take with us just to be sure...lol

[kkdleon]

We reserved July 4th the week before our cruise. I received an email confirmation for our party. Once on board I decided o follow up on the reservation. Glad I did because we were not listed in the reservation book. The restaurant manager stated it was no problem to accommodate our party and she added us for the night.

 

If she hadn't done it for the night we requested, I don't know that we would have scheduled another night. We were happy it all worked out. It was one of the best meals I've had on board any ship!

 

If you didn't get an email, just head up when you first get on. Enjoy your meal!

I got an e mail conformation when I made our reservation for our up coming cruise. I also got one from our last cruise.

I just booked the Steakhouse for our upcoming Nov.2nd cruise on the Miracle, and I rec'd a confirmation via e-mail within a day or two.

Typical. The folks at Carnival corporate should have windows in their stomachs, so they can see where they're going when they walk around with their heads up their .....

I got my Pride confirmation from PRSUPPER@carnival.com within 2 days. (listed as prsteakhouse@carnival.com in the sig)

[bmartin71]

We had e-mail confirmations on the Spirit and the Valor.

 

Never had confirmation on the Dream, but they notified us by phone on the ship, about 1 day after sailaway.

 

Guess it all depends on the ship.
