Departure Speciality Diner

[azgrandmax3]

I am aware that we are to receive a complimentary specialty dinner as passengers in a full suite. But can someone inform me if this appears on paperwork we receive from Princess? Is there a name given to this benefit? Also do we have to schedule for our first evening or can we request a reservation for a few days later. Thanks we are just trying to be prepared for whatever is to come. azgrandmax3

No paperwork, not noted. Its a suite benefit they are well aware of.

Depending on the ship and staff at the time of your cruise sometimes it can be moved to a different evening. We have had a couple cruises where they would not allow us to change it.

See the specialty restaurant manager on embarkation day. They will be there for a few hours taking reservations.

I think is depends on the length of cruise, but generally it the first night, a few time we have had it on the second night.... ( as Keith said not on paper work ) .. a few times they have rang our cabin to ask what time and night we would like our speciality dinner

 

Enjoy your cruise

The reason the benefit is on the first night is that far fewer people visit the specialty restaurants on the first night. While the ship may permit you to move it, they may not.

It is a nice perk for suite guests. I used this perk last year and will again for my next cruise. I will go the first night. Last year the Crown Grill was not crowded at all on the first night. Go figure

When I was on the Island Princess in July in Alaska, we were concerned about getting a reservation on embarkation night because we were coming down from the Denali Princess Lodge via the scenic train, which was a nine hour ride. We didn't board the ship until after 5:30pm.

 

However, there was no problem being seated in the restaurant of our choice (there were only two on the Island Princess).
