Dave.ca Posted February 16, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2020 On our upcoming Regal Cruise all the club class mini-suites were booked. We settled for a "regular" mini-suite, but we will really miss the club class dining. Has anyone been able to purchase club class dining as an add-on to a regular mini-suite? We'll ask on board, but just wondering if anyone has been successful? We're Elite class, if that matters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennybenny Posted February 16, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 16, 2020 We wait listed once for Club class after we booked the cruise. We eventually got an up sell but were on a cruise when they sent it, so we missed the window to book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are either in a club class mini, or you are not. Why would it matter if you are elite? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memoak Posted February 16, 2020 #4 Share Posted February 16, 2020 There is no add on you must book a cc mini or full suite to access cc dining. If enough cc minus or full suites cancel or TA’s kick back their reserves you may get an upsell offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted February 16, 2020 #5 Share Posted February 16, 2020 No not possible. There are set suite/mini suite cabins that are CC. They don’t add any extra ones. But as stated you could try waitlisting for one in case someone cancels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ability to just show up when you're hungry and be seated almost immediately is worth quite a bit. We like to go to shows or catch musical acts when the spirit moves us, not when the dinner gods force us. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can’t be done, no matter how elite you are. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoohUnderstands Posted February 17, 2020 #10 Share Posted February 17, 2020 When you get on board, just be very nice and polite and ask manager at guest services. I mean all you can get is a "no" answer probably, but you definitely won't get a "yes" if you don't at least ask. I mean, something like that, they could honor. And don't mention you are elite- they know that. Just ask honestly if you could get it. Who knows? Pooh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Cruise Raider Posted February 17, 2020 #12 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I think your only option, but it won't cover breakfast or lunch, make reservations to dine in the specialty restaurants for dinner. I love club class, too ... but I understand nobody would love it anymore if they let other that aren't booked for it, take advantage of it.

RMMariner Posted February 17, 2020 #13 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I have never booked a CC mini or suite, but one time I looked around the corner, into club class and it sure looked great. Of course, I was escorted back to the riff raff area almost immediately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I really like is Club Class. I know it's expensive, but it's the only dining option other than buffet, etc. that gives us real control over our evening schedule. Anytime Dining leaves you at the mercy of buzzers and other people's schedules. Traditional sometimes takes two hours. With Club Class, you can be in and out in an hour or so. Only once have we paid the full rate for CC, and that cruise it wasn't much steeper. But we've taken several upsells to a suite partly based on how much we like CC dining.

Jim We like the Club Class on Regal Princess cause we could have dinner anytime with little or not weight. That permitted us to often see the show before and immediately go to dinner. We had booked on the Inaugural Enchanted Princess Trans-Atlantic Cruise and had to be wait listed for Club Class. We decided that we didn't want to take the chance of not getting it, and in place booked on Oceania Trans-Atlantic on the Marina, Concierge Class.

We booked a BTB in different cabins. We'd originally booked in the same cabin which was Club Class. We decided to change cabins on our first cruise to a non Club Class mini. We were very surprised, and delighted, to find out we were in CC for the entire 1st cruise also. We thought it might have been that were we going to be there the second cruise or that we are Elite. We were happy either way. I know the cost is crazy but it makes dining soooo much more enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
