JimAOk1945 Posted October 29, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 29, 2018 We are currently booked for Anytime Dining. Since we are in a full suite, will we automatically be assigned to the Club Class Dining Room? If not, what do I need to do to have Club Class dining on our cruise? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its automatic when you choose AT dining. They will have a list of cabins. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellipooh Posted October 29, 2018 #4 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Yes, it's automatic. Just show up to the Club Class entrance, they will check your name against their list and escort you right to your table without any wait. We really enjoyed Club Class. It actually works much the same as the Mimosa Breakfast for Suite passengers, but CC is in a cordoned off section of the MDR instead of Sabatini's/Crown Grill. It's important that you keep Anytime Dining if you want CC, rather than switching to Traditional. You can still eat at the same time each night, and with the same table-mates (provided they are also CC), but by keeping the Anytime designation you free up a table for non-CC Traditional diners.

Wonderful information. I'm glad it's automatic! Thanks for the tip about keeping Anytime Dining. We will do that. I hope we will be able to get a table for 2, and one that's not too close to others.. Thanks what we prefer. Thanks for your quick reply. Happy cruising! Edited October 29, 2018 by JimAOk1945 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks We don’t use Club Class Dining for breakfast. Suite dining is infinitely better. Love the Mamosas without the orange juice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be no problem getting seating for two. The "not too close to others" may be problematic. It all depends on what time you care to dine. If you go for dinner at, say, 6:00 pm, more than likely the room will be pretty full, and the table options my be limited. If you walk in at 8:00 there is a good chance that the room will be much less crowded, and you can be seated by yourselves at a four-top. Have a great cruise.

Last week on the CB, we found that waiting 30 minutes or so after CC opened up, they ran out of two tops quickly and got seated a a nice larger, four topper by ourselves.

As others have said, no problem getting a table for two. But, that normally means a table for 4 seperated by 6-12 inches. I don’t mind it because “neighbors” seem to engage, or not, depending on how social they want to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potstech Posted October 31, 2018 #13 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Do they also have sharing with other people in CC or is it only just your group of 2 or 4? We enjoy dining with others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffeeluvr05 Posted October 31, 2018 #15 Share Posted October 31, 2018 CC dining is much better than just Anytime dining. You will not have to wait for a table. Well, you may have to wait a minute or two, but we've never waited more than that. It makes it so nice when you have excursions that get you back to the ship at varying times. That's what I will miss not having a suite next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacific Princess does not have anytime, just traditional. We are in Club Class, a full suite, they show us now at 5:00 PM early seating, they say both 7:15 and 5:00 are waitlisted. Go figure. We were 6:00 PM but their new policy changed things. 5:00 is way too early. Any ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or order room service breakfast. We saved one of the half bottles of champagne we received with our suite to make a batch of mimosas our last morning. It was a great way to have our last meal on board the Royal as our cruise was ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also do not understand how both sittings can be waitlisted on that ship. That happened to me several years ago, but I cleared the waitlist for my desired seating long before embarkation.

I thought with Club Class, you can go at any time you like and are not restricted to the times in the traditional dining room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocknie Posted November 11, 2018 #20 Share Posted November 11, 2018 If you are booked in a suite make sure you have breakfast in Sabatini... we believe it's the best perk you receive as a suite guest! Also... they will go out of their way to fix anything you request. P.S. The fresh orange juice is the actual reason we book suites! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happened to me several years ago, but I cleared the waitlist for my desired seating long before embarkation. When we first booked we were waitlisted in first seating for 6:00 PM, there was a long waitlist at that time for first and none at second, so you were confirmed in second. Took a few weeks to get confirmed in first. Sounds to me like when they changed the time to 5:00 and 7:15, those at 8:15 or whatever were very happy and didn't bother cancelling. This is the first time we have had Club Class. What I'm wondering is why do they say: "Dine on your own schedule and enjoy expedited seating with no wait"? Yet they put you on a seating time and waitlist? We have been on the Pacific Princess before and always chose 6:00 with a table for two and were waitlisted for a while but like now were confirmed for 6:00PM. We prefer 6:30. Yet, both times, when we boarded it showed first seating as 5:30 PM. Our last cruise on the Pacific, in January, when went down to the MDR the first time, they said 6:30 would be okay. It is confusing but I guess we find out after we board. Sure hope Oscar is in charge. Quote Edited November 11, 2018 by kennicott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onefine89 Posted November 11, 2018 #23 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Reading these posts about CC has been very appreciated since we'll be trying CC for the first time many many days from now on the Enchanted Princess! Booked a Premium Mini-suite CC and look forward to the "no wait" with 3,660 passengers onboard!.............our booking "Travel Summary" does indicate "Dining: Club Class" eventhough we always choose AnyTime with our "passenger profile"..................enjoy!

Rare TracieABD Posted November 11, 2018 #24 Share Posted November 11, 2018 We used CC on the Royal this past May. It did not matter what time we appeared, they had a table for us- sometimes by a window- sometimes not. It was very easy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not counting those we get as Elites. Hard to ever live without all that luxury from here on. Oscar wasn't there, as he moved over to the "Crown" but his legacy lives on. No problems anywhere and one of the greatest if not the greatest cruises for us ever when considering the sandpoint of cuisine and cabin quality.
