Before TD was canceled: early was about 5:15 to 6:00; late was about 7:30 to 8:15. These could vary slightly depending upon what the Maitre'd wanted to do & in conjunction with the CD's times for the Princess Theater's entertainment times.

amajaa Posted June 17 #2803 Share Posted June 17 You were supposed to be able to book the new dining system from today. Has anyone been able to do this yet? We are onboard another Princess ship and still can’t do it. The loyalty desk and reception say they can’t help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipsealand Posted June 17 #2807 Share Posted June 17 9:05 am pacific time and main dining still shows greyed out. Only specialty shows. Princess really missed up. Should have just transferred over our prior dining reservations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just tried now and still shows nothing for our cruise in November which is fully paid for and we are both platinum. This is starting to really get on my last nerve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeachCatFan Posted June 17 #2810 Share Posted June 17 Well, it's now 10:30 Pacific time and nothing! Why couldn't they have just left our reservations alone until they were up and running with their new system?? And why has nothing ever worked the first time with their app?!? This is really frustrating! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner 66 Posted June 17 #2811 Share Posted June 17 (edited) I received an email saying to make MDR reservations starting today also. It says I cannot until Final payment is made. For my cruise in January aboard Ruby, that isn't until October. It says I can if I am a Platinum Member or are booking a Suite. I called Princess and was told not until final payment. I am a Diabetic and have to eat early Time. If I am not allowed to do that, I will cancel this cruise and WILL NOT book a Princess cruise again. I don't want Anytime Dining for 2 people. That's no Fun. Edited June 17 by Gunner 66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacMadame Posted June 17 #2812 Share Posted June 17 1 hour ago, Gunner 66 said: I received an email saying to make MDR reservations starting today also. It says I cannot until Final payment is made. Same. I expected this but was hopeful since I was able to before (there was a glitch at one point and I got in). Since the majority of the ship won't be able to make reservations until they pay in full and the majority won't pay in full until final payment is due, I am not worried too much about not being able to reserve dining right now.

I am sorry to say but I think this concept is stupid. I cruise with Royal Caribbean and MSC quite a bit more than Princess and never had this type of stupid concept.

ALB0711 Posted June 17 #2814 Share Posted June 17 4:30 PM in Colorado and still not able to re-book my dining. I can't even see my March 2025 cruise anymore on the princess app, only shows on the internet. I'm guessing we are all in the "same boat"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsaw Posted June 18 #2815 Share Posted June 18 Until about 30 minutes ago (5PM PDT) both the Princess App and the webversion of the app were EXTREMELY slow. Prior to 1/2 hour ago tried to enter dining reservations and got error about "Fully paid or Platinum ..." I AM fully paid and platinum. Now it looks like it did a couple of days ago, dining just greyed-out. Most likely such an IT disaster that Princess has had to back the new system out.

Everyone is in the same boat (sorry for the pun!). Don't worry. There will be lots of early dining that you can reserve after you make the final payment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintrev Posted June 18 #2817 Share Posted June 18 We are sailing on September 15 on the Coral from Australia. We have paid in full and are both in a suite and Elite and we don’t have access to any dining times other than Speciality. I will not book our free embarkation dinner in a speciality restaurant as it is ridiculous that I have to pay and then go to guest services to get my money back as OBC. So it seems that qualifying for all the things Princess is telling people is incorrect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to book embarkation night dining it is guaranteed. Either go to the venue when you board or call the dine line. In over 60 cruises with Princess we have never booked a specialty dinner in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
