Specialty reservations

[KarlChilders]

Just booked the Escape yesterday for March 10th sailing. We got the dining package as one of our perks, but in looking, due to booking so late most of the good reservation times are gone. Do they hold some back for booking onboard? I'm not a big fan of eating big meals at 9:30.

Yes, the hold some over for booking onboard.

 

Do it soon after boarding and you should have a good choice.

Just book onboard.

It seems that about a third are sold prior to boarding so there are usually plenty available on boarding, but be quick.

thanks, all. I thought I remembered seeing that, but we didn't have the specialty on our first cruise.

Go to Headliners Comedy Club to make your reservations. They have reps there to book various amenities and services.

We booked four nights in the Speciality restaurants online and before our departure. Received e-mail confirmation. Three days into our cruise we turned up at Bistro to discover that we did not have a reservation and on checking we did not have any other reservations. We then had to re reserve with what times were available. If you do book online I would check with Guest Relations as soon as you board.

Headliners has a reservation center on embarkation day, but the line gets long. The EASIEST way to make reservations is to use the touch screen kiosks near elevators in public areas. Avoid the clunky iconcierge app and stateroom tv.

About 60% of the reservation slots are held for booking on the ship.

Does NCL actually open online reservations for the specialty dining restaurants right at 90 days prior

to departure or do they fudge a little earlier or later?

[gmbhardy]

Right on 90 days as long as you have made and they have processed your final payment.

It’s not related to final payment. For many people final payment isn’t due at that time.

12 midnight Miami time (US Eastern time) 90 days prior to cruise. Exactly.

Thanks for that. I have a cruise departing September 30, 2018. If my math is correct I should be able to

make reservations at 9:00PM west coast time on July 2nd. Fingers crossed.
