Wishing on a star Posted February 4 #1701 Share Posted February 4 It seems that Dining reservations have only opened up for the first sailings. With the new Three Tier system, and the new venues onboard, I think that maybe getting the dining reservations system sorted out has been a work in progress??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck 7 more like Anytime Dining with reservations allowed. Deck 8 no reservations, walk-ins only. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortunate 2 travel Posted February 4 #1708 Share Posted February 4 4 hours ago, mrell345 said: We have booked Sun for November, I have been unable to make dining reservations onboard in the app. Has anyone else had this issue? Yes I have, I talked with our CVP and she said they will be opening up reservations until after the Sun begins sailing. Fingers crossed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nini Posted February 4 #1709 Share Posted February 4 (edited) 1 hour ago, mrell345 said: Three tier system? One floor will be more like traditional dining, at a slower pace. One floor will be more casual and dining at a faster pace. Then there is one in the middle (physically and concept wise). Sorry about that... see post #1728- much better explanation.

It has happened on other cruise lines as well. The Wonder OTS by Royal as well as the Norwegian Prima both had inaugural entertainment delays and with the Prima it included shows that were initially promoted and never came to fruition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisedoctor Posted February 5 #1713 Share Posted February 5 Just checked the Civitavecchia Port schedule, and it has the Sun Princess arriving at 6AM on February 18th and departing at 6PM. That's a good sign! 9 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teecee60 Posted February 5 #1718 Share Posted February 5 (edited) I am an enrichment speaker for Princess, recently assigned to Sun for the 18 February sailing. They are flying me to Rome next week... so there are a LOT of "someones" at Corporate HQ that are at least somewhat certain that the sun will sail on the 18.

Keep in mind being delivered and being ready to sail with passengers are or can be very different. While i don't think it accomplishes it, I wonder if the 9th delivery date, if it comes to fruition, was intended to avoid your very question. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
