Monthend Posted June 18, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 18, 2023 I have seen comments that you need to book specialty dining reservations in advance if you want a special time. Some have already booked for March 2024. I don't see how to do that on the app. Also can book for two cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted June 18, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 18, 2023 In the app do to Dining, pick the restaurant and select reserve. That will give you the days and times available, select what you want and it will take you to the payment screen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 4-2-N-8 Posted June 18, 2023 #3 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Depending upon which stateroom you are in, the shoreside team can make all your dining reservations for the venues/days/times you want and this is included in your cruise. It is very convenient and you get exactly what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micruiser2002 Posted June 18, 2023 #4 Share Posted June 18, 2023 If you bought a dining package you cannot book your date and time in advance. If you are just purchasing a dinner then on the Celebrity website in your cruise planner you can purchase and select date and time at that time. I do not think the app lets you do much in advance of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monthend Posted June 19, 2023 Author #7 Share Posted June 19, 2023 So strange. Now the app is showing dining. Thanks all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinboy Posted June 19, 2023 #8 Share Posted June 19, 2023 There have been many treads/posts re Specialty dining reservations--- Lots of 'em. Someone ( I forget who ) mentioned ( many times ) that if a day and time is not available on line, then, as soon as you board the ship go straight to the restaurant and speak to the Maitre'd. ( Forget about " racing " to the OVC ). Give him/her your cabin number, and most likely there will be a cancellation and you will be accommodated. Remember to say Thank You ( $$ ). LOL-- I wish I could remember who posted it. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, there are cancellations and there is a "list" of cruisers that show appreciation.💰 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree--- I'll bet $ 100 ( Canadian ) that they do save space for " sweets ( $$$ )" that come with onboard " reservation cancellations " ( ?? ). Some people think it's a bribe --others enjoy their dinner and look at it as " What's an extra $ 200 "?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will run to the grill for one of those Hamburg patties lying in the pan of drippings and load it up with condiments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was " taught " by the " Best"---- Yes, it was -- Oops, gotta keep his name a secret--- Hint---- He was working on the ship--- the Maitre'd --- all he did was ask for our cabin number and smiled/winked ( true story )--- and, the next thing I remember was a phone call to our cabin with " Good news, we are able to accommodate you etc, etc ". Guess who was there to greet us when we arrived at the restaurant ?? LOL--- It's all part of the fun ( $$ ). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
