Cagneys

[nsmith]

If the NCL site says that Cagneys is not available to book does that mean all reservations have been taken?

[Oceansaway17]

well perhaps but on the first day I would run to the restaurant and ask for a reservation and pick a later time. I think ya stand a chance to walk in at some point during the cruise.

If you are within the booking window (100-90 days before you set sail) and you have the premium dining package it might be worth a call to NCL. If you're only a few weeks or days out it is entirely possible that all the reservations are booked.

There are a limited number of reservations before the cruise. The rest are released on embarkation day.

Here’s a tip for you! While in the waiting lounge, go near the ship, connect to the ship’s WiFi and log onto the app. From there, you can make dinner reservations before you even board. We always book our cruises 30 to 60 days out and use this trick to get dining exactly as we want, even though they are always fully booked in advance. Cagney’s is a family favorite. Great choice. Enjoy!!!!

They seem to release for pre-purchase on about 30% so there are lots left when you board.

It means all prebooking reservations have been filled. Only about 30% of open slots are available for prebooking.

Bookings open 120 days prior to cruise (130 for suites). “Not Available” usually means sold out. Reservations are taken on embarkation day. The most popular restaurants are Cagney’s and Teppanyaki. On our last cruise, Cagney’s was sold out for all days and all times by 1:00 pm on embarkation day.

Walk up when you want to eat...not at prime time...eat.

no, there are usually a large number of tables that can not be booked on line as they save some for people to book after boarding. I would just wait until you get on the ship or call and check.

 

L1112: thanks for the advise. We always book as soon as we get on board, but didn't know about booking while waiting to board.

What app are you referring to and how do you connect to the ships WiFi before boarding?

Let’s face it....the way things have been working lately, “no available seats” on their website could very well mean that every seat is still available! Haha!

Thanks for the link!

 

Okay. If we're on Sky or Bliss, we can book dining the day of our cruise using the Cruise Norwegian app but there's no indication you're connecting to the ships internet.

 

IConcierge is on the other ships but that's not until you're onboard.

 

So basically, L1211 is blowing smoke....................

Not necessarily. It is entirely possible to connect to the ship Wi-Fi from outside of the ship. If you check your Wi-Fi availability right now, I'm sure you'll see that you could potentially connect to internet of places you are not currently in. Same concept.

 

Being connected to the ship Wi-Fi will also allow them to utilize the ship app. This should give them access to make reservations.

 

It's all really very logical.

No, it's actually a good tip. I've given people the same info.

 

Try it.(y)

I'm convinced they hold aside some slots for people booking on the ship, higher-tiered Latitudes members, etc..

 

I sailed about 7 weeks ago and had limited success booking online. When I got on the ship, more times had opened up. Mind you, you're better off booking online as early as possible, especially for the first/last nights of your cruise. But if that opportunity has passed, you can probably still get in, though perhaps not at your preferred time.

I'm obviously missing something. How can I connect to the ship WiFi before I board & get my WiFi login information?

[phillyguy31]

All you need is the Ap and you connect to the ships WiFi the same way you do at a hotel. You don’t need to login in to your account to use the ap. It is best to be by a window next to the ship. I do this every time.

Thanks! I'll give it a shot in October. Or maybe I'll give it a try when I drop friends off on Friday.
