Just to clarify - the WMD is a dinner only and never included a galley visit, nor the extra gifts that come with the CT and CTL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise2End Posted August 10, 2022 #1304 Share Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) Yes I’ve done WMD, CT and CTL many times. I prefer the WMD over Chefs Tables because the amount of food although beautifully presented is just way too much to enjoy at one time. Definitely will check that out after boarding. 😉 Edited August 10, 2022 by Cruise2End 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graycruise Posted August 11, 2022 #1307 Share Posted August 11, 2022 New to Princess...need some help booking dining. We are with another couple. Both cabins have dining credits. How do we book a table for 4 and use the credits assigned to each couple? Do we have to book 2 separate reservations and join them up onboard? Advice?

We wanted to use our dining credit for us and their credit for their meals. I have mentioned this previously (but understand that older posts are not easily found). So, DMW just isn't that sophisticated. It would have to have additional intelligence in the programming to detect the dining companions credits and then ask the booking guest if they want to cover for all or not. It isn't any different if you were booking for you and dining companions and paying for four cover charges. DMW isn't going to offer that the other couple pay their own way (in effect you would be authorizing a charge to their credit card for the meal). DMW only accesses your own credits. If you happened to have two credits each, it would use them all to pay. You really need to wait until on board and then go and book your night on embarkation day. If you book separately, the restaurant is going to have you at separate tables and you still need to go and re-book once on board. Another option that works - if you are planning to go 2X - is one of you make the first booking and the other make the second night booking and it's all even in the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polmcs Posted August 11, 2022 #1311 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I cancelled my mid cruise SD reservation which had been charged to my credit card on the morning of the Diamond Princess cancellation notifications later that day. The refund hit my credit card this morning, so just a few days for it to show up. That said, it was going to come back to me at some point after the cruise was cancelled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might diplomatically have to remind them that Princess promises this, but of course it isn't their fault - it's stupid IT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OR you could type up a list of your likes/dislikes/requirements and hand it to the waiter at each dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiserdru Posted August 13, 2022 #1317 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I thought the same thing - that the time that came up was all that was available. Changed the time and got what I wanted. Anybody noticed that Princess took away the pre-cruise testing but so far Canada has not. Keep your eyes open hoping they will change, too.

If it's the same people then "sharing" is not what you want. You will need to add the people as Travel Companions using their booking number. Then you can book with them as part of your dining party. Worked well for us in May and we ended up with the same table every night (except for the first night) so we had the same wait staff each night.

oldmovieguy Posted August 21, 2022 #1321 Share Posted August 21, 2022 We recently sailed on Sky and booked a mini suite plus which enabled us to bypass the queues for dining, we are just about to book on Enchanted Princess but I cannot find any reference to a similar club arrangement for dining. Can someone kindly confirm either way please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserdru Posted August 21, 2022 #1322 Share Posted August 21, 2022 oldmovieguy, Yes, Enchanted Princess does have the same. You are looking for M1 or M6 Club Class Minisuites. There are 12 midship on Baja, 12 midship on Aloha, 10 midship on Riviera, 2 all the way forward on Marina, and 2 all the way forward on Lido. Good luck.

You cannot use obc for that. When you book in advance, payment is taken via your regustered credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
