Victorious8 Posted May 2, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I am 90 days out and I was hoping to book dinner reservations, none of the free dining rooms had the option of booking a table for 1. Is that normal or did all of the tables for 1 book up already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted May 2, 2016 #2 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Make a booking for 2. Doesn't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting_Cruiser Posted May 2, 2016 #3 Share Posted May 2, 2016 You really don't need to make reservations for the venues that are included in your fare. There's no such thing as a table for one--they seat you at a two-top. I make reservations only for the specialty restaurants before sailing and just show up at the included venues. BTW, they don't open all availability for pre-booking. I've read it's only about 30% that's available to book beforehand, so booking once on board shouldn't be an issue.

Zippeedee Posted May 2, 2016 #4 Share Posted May 2, 2016 If your only choice is for two at a specialty just book it anyway. They will know when you go that it is just for you. I did that with all of my dinners on the Gem and it was fine. You can go to the reservation desk and cancel the extra one if you want to make sure they can use the seat at Teppanyaki if that is one of your choices.

KarenMF Posted May 2, 2016 #5 Share Posted May 2, 2016 If you make a reservation for 2 won't they block off 2 of your meals. I have the 4 meal package but I'm traveling alone so I want to make four 1 person reservations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippeedee Posted May 2, 2016 #6 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I would call to make sure that won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place I had to make a reservation for two was at Teppenyaki. I changed it once I got on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LrgPizza Posted May 3, 2016 #8 Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) If you make a reservation for 2 won't they block off 2 of your meals. I have the 4 meal package but I'm traveling alone so I want to make four 1 person reservations. No. The packages can't be shared, so even if you were making the reservation for 4 people, you could only use your own package for yourself, and the others would have to take care of themselves by settling up at the restaurant. Therefore, you are only using one of your meals per booking regardless of whether you are booking for 1 or 3, 4, 8, etc. If you booked for 2 and they used 2 of your credits, it would be as if you were buying a meal for someone else with your package. Since that isn't allowed, it doesn't happen that way when booking. Edited May 3, 2016 by LrgPizza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JezzaC Posted May 3, 2016 #9 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I was able to book Specialty restaurants just for one person on My NCL for Epic. For MDR minimum seems to be 2 persons, but I guess it doesn't matter since it is complimentary anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrieBajan54 Posted May 3, 2016 #10 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I just got back from the Jade crossing. I had 6 dinners for my perk. Ate 4 times at Cagney's and twice at La Cuchina since those are my favorite restaurants. Dined solo every time with no problem. Made 4 bookings a week into the cruise and for the other two nights, I just showed up at Cagney's and got seated right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
