Celebrity Eclipse Restaurants

[JKeenan70]

Hi

 

We've booked the Eclipse for a New Zealand cruise starting on 20th Dec, when looking at the dining packages the only options showing are for Chefs Table, La Petit Chef at Qsine and the Sushi restaurant. Anyone any ideas why Murano or Tuscanne Grill are missing, also, there is no option to buy the multi night dining packages, am I missing something, thanks in advance

Not unusual on holiday cruises

Welcome to Cruise Critic.

 

I suspect "Alakegirl" is correct.  We were on the Eclipse in April, and certainly dined at both Murano and Tuscan Grill.

They will usually open up for booking around final payment date in the range of 90-120 days prior to cruises.   I checked my  August 21 cruise on Summit (no Murano)  and Tuscan is available for booking.   1st night at discounted prices are already sold out.

We cruised a few years ago over Christmas and New Year they charged double for a "special meal " we both agreed not worth it.

Packages are not always available on holiday sailings

We are on the cruise after yours and all the usual dining packages are open for purchase, I suspect it is simply as others have said, the arrangements are different when you cruise over Xmas & New Year.

 

You should find there will be options to book for the 25th and the 31st, but they will be more expensive than usual and will feature a suitably festive menu.

 

For the rest of the nights they can usually sell out without needing to discount or offer the packages you might usually see.

Thanks, will contact Celebrity as that's what I'm looking for, unsure of why it's not displaying online for me, cheers

Let us know what they say, but it isn't unusual on the Christmas/New Year cruises for these options to sell out quickly.

Our last cruise was on Solstice to New Zealand over the Christmas (2019) and New Year's holidays. Murano and Tuscan Grille were both available online to buy in advance of the cruise.  However the pricing was elevated for each night throughout the whole sailing. Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve had a special menu with a very special high price to go with it (>$100 pp). 

 

I would say give it time and it will eventually appear on your Cruise Planner but you might not like what you see!

I am also on the Dec 20th cruising and do not see Murano or Tuscan Grille either.  I do see the option to buy a specialty restaurant OBC for $45.00.  does that mean that if you buy that you have the option to use it at any restaurant?  i did see that it said that if the restaurant charge was under $35.00 they would credit your account...but i would think you could buy the $45.00 OBC for Specialty dining and then use it for when and if Murano or Tuscan Grille opens up.
