How difficult to get Early dining once on board

[sweetlife]

We enjoy early dining time. We have two cabins on an upcoming Fantasy Cruise. I guess we signed up late, because early dining isn't available. Any chance to get it once on board? We are platinum if it helps. Thanks for any advice.

Are you waitlisted for Early Dining? Platinum cruisers get priority if waitlisted.

 

If it doesn't come through prior to boarding, on embarkation day check with the maitre d' at the time and place listed in the Fun Times. It is highly probable you will be changed.

 

Hope you have a great cruise.

You stand a very good chance of getting your preference due to your Platinum status. In the embarkation day paper Fun Times you will find information about when and where you can meet with the maître d to request a change. As a Platinum cruiser, I've never not had my preference honored. If you booked close to sail date, it may play out according to your preference without you doing anything. Just watch online for changes. Remember: Diamond is guaranteed preference and Platinum has priority. So you're pretty high on the wish list.

You can also try emailing the maitre’d within a week of your cruise. There’s threads around with the addresses.

Thanks for the advice. I will see if I can find the email address...but my forte is not navigating the boards. lol.
