mugtech Posted May 5, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 5, 2017 The last two nights of the cruise the specialty restaurants should be booked as soon as you board if you want dinner before 8:30 PM, other nights could be easier. Based on b2b on Gem in November. Had heard rumors Leo was taking a break sometime soon, hope you get to hear him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always book all in advance and just cancel/adjust the time, which we have also done no problem. I too hope you get to hear Leo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiancaV Posted May 5, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Speaking of Specialty restaurants I just tried to book them. I have the Specialty dining package and it only let me do 6 out of 7. When I got to the 7th it added $58.88 to my cart. So confused. So I called NCL, they told me I only had a 3 night package. Huh? I'm booked in an Owners Suite on a 7 night cruise. Anyone out there have any clue about this? On my last cruise on the Dawn I had the Specialty dining package and got 7 because that was the length of the cruise. Any help greatly appreciated!

Yes, a seven night cruise only gives you a three night specialty dining package. It's been that way for quite a while. The fact that you're in an Owners suite doesn't affect the number of dinners you receive with the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well. :) Edited May 5, 2017 by BiancaV typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ella99 Posted May 6, 2017 #7 Share Posted May 6, 2017 We just got off the Gem last weekend. Leo was still there. As far as the specialty restaurants.....I had my reservations ahead of time, but decided to make a change onboard and did not have a problem. The board on the ship that posted the available times for each restaurant nightly appeared to always have openings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
