livylotte Posted July 27, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) I'm thinking of booking this. Our cruise on Explorer falls on 2 significant dates - my birthday and our wedding anniversary and it would be nice to celebrate. Cruise Planner just gives me the option of a time and nothing else. How do I book specific restaurants/dates/times? Edited July 27, 2019 by livylotte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you choose between first or second night? Second night would be my birthday. Edited July 27, 2019 by livylotte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted July 27, 2019 #4 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Just now, livylotte said: Can you choose between first or second night? Not sure if you still can but you used to be able to. If it is an option it will appear when you begin the booking process for the dining package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livylotte Posted July 27, 2019 Author #5 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Thanks Ourusualbeach. There is no date option - just a time. So you don't get to choose your first reservation? Are you able to change this once on board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some ships don’t even assign a restaurant anymore. Edited July 27, 2019 by Ourusualbeach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtopia Posted July 27, 2019 #7 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Enjoy the package - I have the 3 night dining package booked for my Navigator sailing. I wanted to try all the new restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woneill63 Posted July 29, 2019 #8 Share Posted July 29, 2019 We got a great deal on a three night dinner package on the Mariner a few months ago. Three dinners for 60 dollars each, well worth the money spent. We did Chops twice and Jamie's Italian once. We loved Chop's and were disappointed with Jamie's, which was strange since we always enjoy Giovanni's. Anywho, we also did Chef's Table one night and loved it, it was stretched out to around three hours but still was great fun and awesome food and service. Not cheap but worth every penny.

How do I book specific restaurants/dates/times? On our last cruise we had our Anniversary on night 4 and we wanted that night and a specific time. We had several packages but were unsure if we would get what we wanted. We booked and paid full price for the night and time we needed, once onboard we were able to get the same night and time with a package. Host simple cancelled our full price reservation and we received a fully refundable OBC for the $98.00 This was on Symphony where we had a BOGO, a 3 night and a 5 night package. Nothing was pre reserved and our first night was on night 3. First thing we do when boarding is to go to a specialty restaurant and make all our reservations for the week. happy cruising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
