dna529 Posted July 31, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Booking specialties on the Star (for November) today and every restaurant is available except Teppanyaki. I called NCL and they didn't know why either. Just "keep checking" they said. What?! I'm confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LrgPizza Posted July 31, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Probably just a computer error. If you asked me I'd say "just keep checking" as well. FWIW, I booked it this morning, but on a different ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splendoraway Posted July 31, 2015 #3 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I tried booking on the Dawn for an October cruise and had the same issue. I called NCL to try to take care of it through their system and she didn't understand why she was not able to do it either and told me not to worry about it and have the concierge take care of it when we are on board. I figured it would open up when the 90 day mark came around so everyone had a fair shot at booking but still no go. To date Teppanyaki is still not listed as available to book. I will just keep looking and if not I will take her advice and book on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Tequila? Posted July 31, 2015 #4 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Teppanyaki will not be available to pre-purchase on the following ships due to limited seating. Guests will be able to book onboard only. Norwegian Dawn Norwegian Spirit Norwegian Star Norwegian Sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvsullivan Posted July 31, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) With such limited seating on these ships there is no way to allow many/any to book early. Get on early and book what you want. If you're in a suite ask the pre concierge to let them know what you want and it will be booked when you check in before you board.

Never had a suite before. And why couldn't NCL just tell me this when I called? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're in a suite, about 5-6 weeks before you sail you will get a letter and luggage tags from the pre concierge desk. Here is their email address, it should get you started: NorwegianConciergeDesk@ncl.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cra flagman Posted July 31, 2015 #12 Share Posted July 31, 2015 The Dawn show that it seats 28 people. So why can you not book it early? That are selling the UDP that you can add teppinyaki to it , so why not for people that do not want to book UDP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diane123boys Posted July 31, 2015 #13 Share Posted July 31, 2015 it has nothing to do with UDP as I have that and it does not show up on the site as an option for booking.. What i was todl is there a certain amt of reservations that are open for booking online and and amt that NCl holds portion out for reservations on board.. dont shoot the messenger thats what I was told.

titangas Posted August 1, 2015 #18 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Teppanyaki will not be available to pre-purchase on the following ships due to limited seating. Guests will be able to book onboard only. Norwegian Dawn Norwegian Spirit Norwegian Star Norwegian Sun Sailed this past March on the Sun and booked in advance. Booked it on the Spirit last summer in advance. Is this a new published policy or just your own speculation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cra flagman Posted August 1, 2015 #21 Share Posted August 1, 2015 We leave the 16th. But can not book it. Talked to PCC, he does not know why either. If it was new policy think he should know about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarps14 Posted August 1, 2015 #22 Share Posted August 1, 2015 memo sent to me earlier this month, on the 24th of July. Okay guys, the question was asked and Margaret answered. Do we really need to go back 'I don't believe it because my PCC doesn't know about it'? What else is new? The PCCs seem to be the absolute last ones to get the info these days.

dna529 Posted August 1, 2015 Author #23 Share Posted August 1, 2015 If this is a new policy, it's pretty frustrating. Teppanyaki is probably the only place that does need to be booked in advance due to limited space. So what is the point of allowing prebooking at 100 days out if you don't include it?
