DukeASUGirl Posted April 5, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I'm sailing in October with my immediate family of 4 (me, husband, two kids) and my parents. My aunt and uncle might end up booking, as well. I'm trying to make dining reservations for us all, but although it shows my parents in Cruise Planner, it says "Because these guests have a different booking currency or group ID, they must make their own reservations" and then it won't allow me to click on them when making our reservations. How do I fix this? They paid on a different credit card than we did, but we want to all eat together. So I worry that if we both just select the same dining times, that it won't seat us together.

It sounds like one reservation is in a group and one isn't. If that is the case then they cannot be linked. You would need to move the booking that is not in the group into the group in order to link them. I am assuming that it is this as opposed to booking in different currencies.

Don't worry, the host at the MDR can sit you together - even if not linked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzk2275a Posted April 5, 2022 #4 Share Posted April 5, 2022 We needed to link 3 reservations for dining. One person from each reservation had to call Royal and state that they wanted to dine with the other 2 parties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We picked the cabins at the same time, so I don't understand why they would be in different groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you ask your travel agent? That's where I'd start.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailing bears Posted April 5, 2022 #7 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Your agent can easily do it online. Call them. I actually would have expected it would already be done if they knew you were traveling together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get on board, go to one of the restaurants when you board, they will take care of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a double occupancy and a quad. group rates are available for doubles but not quads. They may have booked the double in the group but havent yet moved the quad in. Did your agent send you an invoice from Royal. It will show a group number beside the reservation number if its in a group. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasukkie Posted April 5, 2022 #10 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Dining can get messed up even when linked. I recently sailed in connecting cabins with a linked reservation and one of us got bumped to mytime dining and the other had early dining with an assigned table. Things happen. Fortunately we were doing the dining package so it didn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyshelly Posted April 5, 2022 #11 Share Posted April 5, 2022 My son joined us on a cruise for May just last month. He is assigned late dinner but wants to have dinner with us. I am just going to go to the dining room once we board and arrange it. They usually comply with the requests out of my 23 cruises have not had any turn downs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way nobody has to scramble round to change tables at the last minute? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
