suzyed Posted July 13 #3101 Share Posted July 13 1 hour ago, walkingsoon said: Yes, the cruise I just booked showed no two time slot traditional dining offerings, just the time slots as you describe. You are not alone in being confused. The app is still glitchy these many years later and the rollout of the new dining system has not gone smoothly. Princess doesn't help by sending near daily e-mails telling everyone to choose their dining preferences using their flashy new app. But here's the important part: It's really not all that important to arrange this all ahead of time. You'll be able to eat each day, largely when and where you want. Certainly it's not worth getting aggravated or frustrated over. Sorry you read this whole thread. 🙂 edit - this is in response to dlmb622 Sure, we know we will not go hungry....LOL! But why Princess erased all our prior reservations and then made it impossible to book similar times for each night. We're on a 32 day sailing and it is very frustrating to not be able to get a private table every night. Thought I had all my ducks in a row in plenty of time....not!

Here are the steps you take to add guests just in case you were trying something different. Once you’ve selected a dining room scroll down until you see guests. You and your husband should be listed with your profile pics. Next to that is a pencil 🖊️ icon. Select the pencil and on the next screen you will see a little man icon with a + sign next to it in the upper right corner. Select that and there you should be able to add the booking number for your other guests Thank you! I’m assuming this is on the app which won’t allow me to make reservations. I am using the web version and it will bring me to the reservation page where I can click on my husband and myself then I go to the add guests page, add the booking number, click research but nothing happens. I am not paid in full nor do I have status so I was surprised it lets me book for the 2 of us and assumed I would be able add guests but maybe that’s the issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arizonaperson Posted July 17 #3104 Share Posted July 17 @windsor26 try the web version to see if you have any luck. some passengers have had no luck on their android phone with the app, but then they go to their laptop or PC and they try the Web version and it works.

Thank you. What ship and what date are you cruising? you can try to contact your travel agent, if you have one or try the app on your computer, your phone or try the Web version on your laptop or PC. And there’s lots of steps before doing that. So just play around with it and see what you come up with. Lots of people been able to make dinner reservations. but if you’re trying to make reservations for a cruise/ voyage that is year from now, may or may not work . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I thought of that and tried and it asked for me to link my booking ref. which I did and it said this is already linked and then I could not go any further Very frustrating I will try again later on my phone which did work the first time I was just checking this time and still hope they have not changed things on me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in standard balconies. All we are tring to do is get a traditional table for us to dine together. Hours and hours on phone calls over the last month and finally today I had the good fortune to talk to someone who could make our family MDR reservations. Today's rep said it "was easy". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be something they put in without testing as I have never heard of anybody having success of any type when using the Link Booking thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare QuilterGirl Posted July 18 #3110 Share Posted July 18 @no1superfan, we are in a similar situation as you, where we are in a Reserve Class mini-suite (in our case, on B2B cruises), and DS and family are joining us in a standard mini-suite for just one leg of our cruise. We want to dine with them in the MDR on just that one leg. Did you call the standard number, (800) 774-6237, to find someone who was able to make those MDR reservations for the group? You give me hope... DS has been unable to add us to their MDR rez so far, and he is platinum. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you are in Reserve category the app will not allow you to make reservations in a different dining room. They will need to over ride the system.

memoak Posted July 18 #3112 Share Posted July 18 Ewe sail on the 31st. Medallions ordered a month ago and verified on the app Now the app show no medallions ordered. The Ocean Ready folks say oh it’s just a glitch you will have your medallions by tomorrow. Time will tell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare QuilterGirl Posted July 18 #3113 Share Posted July 18 (edited) Yes, @memoak, it's because we are Reserve Class and I can't make an MDR rez myself, that I asked DS to make the reservations - for his family, then pull us in. But he was unable to do so. I didn't know Ocean Ready had a Dining line. I will call them. Edited July 18 by QuilterGirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will then ask for username and password. After entering those and clicking Login, it usually takes me back to the Link Booking option.

When you use the app to pre book your dining choice Choose your restaurant and it offers times which also say private table or sharing pick private and you will get a table for 2 which I believe you have done most of the time When you front up at your chosen time for those not confirmed just say table for 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tell friends who sail on the same cruise as we do that they will have to book at least a reserve class mini to have dinner with us. Breakfast and lunch people pretty much do what they want. Why pay for reserve if you aren’t going to use it ? Edited July 19 by memoak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
