lstone19 Posted December 12, 2023 #1026 Share Posted December 12, 2023 So some people are able to make dining reservations on Sun Princess? We're on it 4/27 and it still tells me "We could not find any reservations at this time. Please check back later." And I'm Elite (and my wife is Platinum) so from what I've heard, we should be able to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot book any other dining reservations except Love on the first night of my cruise. And $0. Charge for 1st night Only in Love restaurant. The message I get is Reserve guests do not need reservations. 1) Signature Suite 2) 5 night cruise 3) Standard fare- no packages 4) Elite (poster on page 41 has premier package, and can book Love for 3 rd night of cruise.)

Having said that, I like to time my dining bookings around one of the two Evening Shows. Did I read correctly that this ship will be having THREE performances of the headline show each night? / Anyone know when the Sun's evening show timings will be announced please?

darzo509 Posted December 12, 2023 #1029 Share Posted December 12, 2023 I'm in a standard balcony cabin for 4th May sailing and I don't have any loyalty perks, I have the premier package and it was allowing me to book Love for any of the nights The app was showing I had dining credit and I booked for 2nd night and was not charged That's the only Speciality restaurant that was showing and I could not book any MDR reservations or Explore any other dining options. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it is because I upgraded to Premium Package? 🤷♀️ So far it seems to be those with premier package can use a dining credit to book any night for Love. And suite guests on a standard fare without a package have a dining credit to use only on first night of cruise. And without a dining credit Love can be booked for $149 pp. Edited December 12, 2023 by dog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a bit Leary because other Specialty restaurants are $35-$39. + 18% service, while Love is $149 pp! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esprit Posted December 12, 2023 #1036 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Sorry if this been asked before, but what is so special about the Love restaurant to justify the $149 pp charge? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esprit Posted December 12, 2023 #1038 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Thank you @Nemanoxer I'm not into art so I'll happily give that venue a miss, along with the Irish Pub when I board in August. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capriccio Posted December 12, 2023 #1041 Share Posted December 12, 2023 On 12/9/2023 at 5:46 PM, snoozecrooze said: Me thinks those balcony chairs are going to be a huge talking point. At least the balcony seems nicely proportioned, though. We are on an MSC ship right now with similar balcony chairs. I’m 5 feet 8 inches tall and the top of the seat hits the middle of my back. It is neither comfortable nor conducive to sitting for any length of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was afraid of. 😞 They look like sit up straight and lean a little forward only. 😞 Not how we usually sit on our balcony. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not in a suite. Deluxe Balcony guarantee. We do have Premier. And I do see Love coming up as an option. But, when I try to book it says "An error occurred, Your table could not be reserved." So, maybe they realized it was a bug and Love is not supposed to be bookable with dining credits and they're shutting it down. Or maybe it's the date. We're booked for 21 nights, marketed as such, but is really a B2B2B2B given Princess markets the Med cruises as 7 nights, 14 nights, and 21 nights (they're three seven-night one-ways that repeat every 21 nights - Rome-Athens-Barcelona-Rome). I was trying to book our anniversary which is also an embarkation day in Barcelona although mid-cruise for us. So perhaps that it's an embarkation day is also a factor. We'll see if anyone reports still be able to book Love. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoffa30 Posted December 12, 2023 #1045 Share Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) I’d be very surprised if Love at $149 was included in the Premier package. Does anyone know if 360, Chef’s Table etc. on other ships is included currently? Edited December 12, 2023 by Geoffa30 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
