Dining reservations for specialty restaurants

[S.S.Oceanlover]

We are now able to book our specialty restaurants but the only times available for any of them are 530 or 8 PM.

 

Is that normal or can we wait to get on the ship to get a later time.

 

We were wanting to get six or 630

You should be able to get reservations on board for the time that you want. The online reservations do not book all the available tables....just a small %.

I just got off of the Star and had did online booking for 3 specialty restaurants. I found that there were still plenty of slots available at various times. The only restaurants that were usually filled were the Teppanyaki and Cagney's steak house.

Try putting in the time you want. I did that and it worked.

Hey Julie,

 

Unfortunately i dont see any place to write in anything??? I click on the time and a drop down box opens with the times of 5:30 and 8pm.

 

Nothing else???

We made our reservations about 5 weeks ago, we booked 4 restaurants at 6 and 6:30. If I remember correctly I could choose anytime between 5 and 9pm?

OK after reading your post I went back to NCL.com and poked around some more.

 

All times are available unless you are a party of 6 or 8. Of course we are a party of 8.

 

Not sure if this is going to be a trend throughout the cruise that we can't be accommodated throughout the cruise because we have a party of 8.

 

Oh well we'll make the best of it regardless.:)

Consider booking 2 tables for four and asking that they be together - just might work.

 

NCL has tons of tables for 4 in most dining venues.

yes, we are a group of 6 and the drop-down indicated no availability on the date/restaurant I wanted--I called NCL and they said that when we get on ship we could request two tables of three next to each other at the same time--when you go on line you can only make one reservation (per person) so I cant do two reservations for three people each.

I am sure it will all work out fine, not to worry.

We were going to settle and take the 5:30 time but then I found out they wanted to charge my credit card $160 right away so just going to wait til we board.

You shouldn't have any trouble finding the place to book your reservations onboard. They usually have a table set up near the entrance to the buffet, and at the main service counter on the seventh deck atrium starboard side.

When we had a group of 11 for Moderno we booked in 3 separate reservations between 6 and 7. We all showed up at 6 and were seated together with no problem. They're pretty flexible and do their best to accommodate.

thanks for the encouraging news.:)

As soon as we first boarded our ship we went to the dinner reservations desk and booked all our reservations for specialty restaurants. We were able to get all of them for 6:15/6:30. Just do that right away when you board.

Hi Everyone,

 

Are you able to cancel or change reservations made and paid for in advance?

I just made reservations via phone for Cagney's and Le Bistro and was told that I could cancel up to 24 hours in advance.

Yes, we were very frustrated at the challenges presented in pre-booking our group,of 11. Once onboard we went directly to the dining reservations desk and rearranged our bookings with no problem whatsoever.

[tonyrocks922]

thanks for the info. i love french food so was planning to book at least 2 nights at le bistro, but i didn't want to get stuck if we didn't like it there for some reason.

 

are there a lot of 2 tops in the specialty restaurants , or do they mix couple at larger tables?
