Mahogany Posted March 8, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I am sailing on Dawn in August. Can't remember from pre-Covid about making dining reservations. My Silversea says 120 days in advance which will be in April. My question: how many reservations can you make at the non-fee vs. fee venues? I'm on 26-night B2B.

Luv2Cruise1016 Posted March 8, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Is there a particular time of day on the 120th day that reservation open for request? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody actually admitted that he made a reservation at La Terrazza for every night and then cancelled when he chose another venue. I'd be too embarrassed to admit that! And he really remembered to cancel? When at 7 PM?😬 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, at least he didn’t tie up a table in the smaller venues like La Dame, Kaiseki, Silver Note, etc. With that said, I too couldn’t imagine doing such a thing.

I don’t believe there are any restrictions, though obviously it’d be wrong to block book or book with no intention of attending, just because you can. I try to keep mine balanced. Luckily my Japan sailing on the Muse, I intend to make use of the open seating Indochine a fair bit. Think in the total of 16 nights I have 6 reservations, 4 for La Terrazza, I for Kaiseki and 1 for La Dame. I did have Silver Note booked, but cancelled for open seating in Atlantide for formal night.

Self-entitled, sociopathic, arrogant, narcissistic morons can be like that. Not that I have any strong feelings about this, you understand.

Rare Port Power Posted March 9, 2023 #10 Share Posted March 9, 2023 As a solo cruiser, I have never booked restaurants prior to boarding. I don’t know who I might meet and want to share a table with on any given night. I will often arrive at the main dining room (open seating) and join a share table. Can I expect share tables on Silversea? Otherwise the buffet will see me quite often! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlantide would be considered "the main restaurant" and you can tell the Maitr'd you would like to sit with others. I sail solo all the time and have found it very easy to meet other guests and sometimes go for drinks and dinner together. And you don't have to book a reservation ahead of time. Actually, 95% I don't book ahead. Silversea does not offer a buffet for dinner so that would not be an option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However some of us couples will say that we don't mind sharing if anyone wants to so did end up on a couple of occasions sharing a table with a single German lady last August. So when you enter Atlantide do tell the Maitre'd that you would like a shared table. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The buffet comment was a characterisation as I do know that S/S doesn't have a buffet.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
