shrimp56 Posted October 27, 2015 #1 Share Posted October 27, 2015 We're on the 16 day Lima to San Diego cruise starting on Dec. 2, 2015. Under dining purchases there is no Le Cirque listed. I have a vague memory of something about phasing out Le Cirque might be in the pipeline. Does anyone know what's up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted October 27, 2015 #2 Share Posted October 27, 2015 It's available to book on our cruise in December, 2016. Don't know if that makes much of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare visagrunt Posted October 27, 2015 #3 Share Posted October 27, 2015 It showed up very late on my recent cruise on the Rotterdam, about two weeks prior to departure, if I recall correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted October 27, 2015 #4 Share Posted October 27, 2015 It's on our cruise too for April, 2016 and we have a couple of them booked along with a few other roll call members ;) Perhaps they are doing more Cellar Masters on your cruise? That would be a big plus :) You might want to check and see if all the nights are allocated to Pinnacle. If they are not, something good is coming or will be available on board.

Lizzie68 Posted October 27, 2015 #6 Share Posted October 27, 2015 It could very well be sold out, as jtl said. We booked Le Cirque for a cruise next May, so I don't think it is being phased out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted October 27, 2015 #7 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Maybe it's sold out?? Call Ship Services.. that is a very distinct possibility. December is not that far away. It very well could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Gail & Marty sailing away Posted October 27, 2015 #8 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I think it sells out most of the time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzaholic41 Posted October 27, 2015 #9 Share Posted October 27, 2015 It wouldn't surprise me if it was being phased out. Last time I booked (Zuiderdam), the only section sat was near the windows. The entire front half of Pinnacle was completely empty. Considering the menu, I can understand why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted October 27, 2015 #10 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I agree with those who suggest it may be sold out. Best way to find out is to call Ship's Services. 800-541-1576 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapper1 Posted October 27, 2015 #11 Share Posted October 27, 2015 We have two Cirques booked for our cruise in April and another booked for a May cruise. We decided to get them booked as soon as they became available because we didn't want to be disappointed by finding them sold out at a later date.

shrimp56 Posted October 28, 2015 Author #12 Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Thanks to everyone for the good advice. We did book this cruise fairly early and it wasn't listed at that point. We've enjoyed Le Cirque in the past, but it isn't a "must-do." BTW Pinnacle seems to have 2 seatings on this cruise 6 and 8pm. Is that new? --- On checking, our next 2 cruises have the usual time slots for Pinnacle as well as Le Cirque, so I am thinking this is the result of early birds. I'm glad I did get the two Pinnacles for December that I did. Edited October 28, 2015 by shrimp56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you are on the ship, the reservation times are usually at 15 minute intervals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We book on line all of the time and all the different time slots have always been available (We do watch and book as soon as they open as we sometimes dine with others and like to find a time that suits everyone ;) ). We just booked our most recent ones less than two weeks ago. We have also gotten on a ship and found the PG's sold out for most nights (the nights it wasn't, the only time slot left was the very late one) so it appears from that they do not limit bookings on line.

(bold is mine) That's been our experience, too, especially when they're running a promo that includes Pinnacle. When we had Explore 4, we asked the concierge in Neptune Lounge if we could change it because we had been assigned a later time than we like, and we were told there were almost no slots available. When we had the Anniversary Promo, we were not pre-assigned, but when we went to make the reservations, there was only one night when we could get 7:00, all the other nights had only 8:00 or later available.

rkorchid Posted October 30, 2015 #17 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) I was able to book a reservation for Le Cirque on our August 2016 VoV on the Rotterdam. I suppose HAL could cancel it if they drop the program. I also booked a night of La Labrije (sp). Edited October 30, 2015 by rkorchid typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, CCers do not have the tally for dinner reservations so sometimes you just have to resort - as a last resort, of course:rolleyes: - to calling HAL. But just for some things like that. And then you have to hope you get a right answer. Usually three calls, and then pick two answers the same - if you are lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
