nelblu Posted March 27, 2014 #176 Share Posted March 27, 2014 TAs had a webinar today, so I asked my TA about the prices. Devin's Solarium Bistro is the same I believe as the one on Oasis and Allure. Why a fee on the Q and not on Allure/Oasis for lunch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizanessie Posted March 27, 2014 #177 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Why a fee on the Q and not on Allure/Oasis for lunch? Sorry, no idea :( ...Maybe a different type/style of lunch :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunny days Posted March 27, 2014 #178 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Quesion: Do we have to reserve all of our meals before the cruise if we are eating in the complimentary venues? Or do we just need to reserve for dinner? Or can we wing it as we go? I know you need to make reservations for the specialty restaurants. I really hate the idea of making all of these decisions ahead of time. Personally I loved the MDR and the friendships that were built while eating dinner together with the same people each night. We booked this cruise before we knew of the change. I admit I am a bit disappointed but I will try to make the best of it. Who knows I might like it. But as I said, dinner was the highlight of each day - new friends to share our memories of the day with as well as waiters who knew us by name and what we liked and didn't like each meal. Sigh!!

Ken at the beach Posted March 28, 2014 #182 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Got the answer to my grats question. RCCL are currently removing grats from Quantum & Anthem bookings. You can still prepay if you wish or you can wait for them to be added to your onboard account. Didn't take long to get your answer. Now I wonder if they will remove the mandatory prepaid grats for MTD and switch that to adding them daily to your seapass for the other ships.

I just asked my US TA to call RCCL and ask about the grats...they said they were currently removing them and that was it. But they will still have MTD on all the other ships so I am guessing they won't change the pre pay grats set up on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viper17d Posted March 28, 2014 #189 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Overall I thought the Hangout went well. Good job all! They seemed to ask most of the tough questions (and generally got answers). There was definitely a lack of pressure/follow-up, but it's the CFO! So I'm okay with that! I'm a bit more excited for what's to come!!

emmy Posted March 28, 2014 #190 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Today's Google Hangout Event with Adam Goldstein and our own Managing Editor, Colleen McDaniel. Enjoy! wDQOLrbxuBM Would like to thank Cruise Critic's Colleen McDaniel for the great job hosting the first ever Google Hangout by RCI. It was an honor and privilege in being one of the panelists selected to participate. It was a fun experience, exciting and I was a bit nervous but once it started I was good to go :) Looking forward to my Quantum inaugural sailing on Nov 23 and to experience Dynamic Dining for myself and to report back to CC :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I tried to look up the luncheon menu for American Icon and it gave me the same as dinner. Also, did a look-up by selecting complimentary venues and the Solarium Bistro came up for B, L & D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal Caribbean International Posted March 28, 2014 Author #195 Share Posted March 28, 2014 How will it work if you want to link reservations to sit with others sailing in different cabins? Would everyone just make a reservation for the same time and when you show up, you would be seated together, or would you have to link confirmation numbers precruise like you do now for traditional seating? In order to satisfy all guests’ preferences, we encourage guests to make restaurant reservations prior to their cruise. However, once onboard, guests will have the ability to make and edit reservations. We will continue to accommodate multiple guest reservations. Guests will be able to do this through a new planning and reservations tool available beginning on May 15th, 2014.

No offense to whoever is running the account I know you are just doing your job. To the original question Adam said in the hangout yesterday the app used for booking would allow you to link up to 16 people in a single reservation. Seemed like it will be similar to how it is done for tradational dining now based on what he said Edited March 28, 2014 by thatoneguyyouknow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest maddycat Posted March 28, 2014 #197 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Got the answer to my grats question. RCCL are currently removing grats from Quantum & Anthem bookings. You can still prepay if you wish or you can wait for them to be added to your onboard account. That's good news. When we first booked the Quantum last May, we signed up for MTD so our gratuties were added to our invoice. We'll remove them and use our OBC to pay for them once onboard.

CaptData Posted March 29, 2014 #198 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Hello, I have salt and diabetic restrictions. Before I would get the menu the night before but if I change restaurants every night or two how will this be handled? Do I go on TV in the morning and select for the night or what?

hitaway4 Posted March 29, 2014 #199 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Hello, I have salt and diabetic restrictions. Before I would get the menu the night before but if I change restaurants every night or two how will this be handled? Do I go on TV in the morning and select for the night or what? All of the menus are currently online and do not change from night to night or even cruise to cruise. If you need any more specialized food I would give RCCL a call and they can help you. Menus can be found here. http://www.royalcaribbean.com/quantumoftheseas/dining/ Scroll down, click whatever restaurant you want to look at. Click "Visit this Restaurant" Then scroll down to see the menu. In addition to each restaurants menu, there will also be an alternate standard menu available if nothing seems appetizing. (Beef, chicken, or a fish) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royzer76 Posted March 29, 2014 #200 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I just asked my US TA to call RCCL and ask about the grats...they said they were currently removing them and that was it. But they will still have MTD on all the other ships so I am guessing they won't change the pre pay grats set up on them. Hiya, So if we were forced to pay grats up front when booking Anthem cruises, we can now take them off again and add them to our onboard seapass accounts? Do we need to request this or will it just happen? Also if we don't pay up front now, they are automatically added to seapass accounts on board is that correct?
