Reserve section is usually over 3/4 full every night. It still for matter we always tell friends that if they want to have dinner with us they have to book at least a reserve mini. I would never think of inviting anyone else in. Oh I totally agree with you. I didn't expect our friend to sit with us in the Reserve section. That's why we went to the other line the very first day. We told THEM that we couldn't sit there because of our friend. Princess suite benefits are a joke. That's why we don't mind sailing in a suite with friends not in suites on Princess ships. On Celebrity, our friends must book a suite or we tell them we won't see them most of the cruise! 🙂 Edited December 18, 2023 by Sox Fan Cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually book with free inside or balcony cabins from the casino and then pay the difference for the suite. Even when we don’t get free cabins we usually get 30% off the rack rate. That being said we love the size of aft suite balconies, enjoy Sabatini’s breakfast, the extra minibar, reserve class dining etc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzBuzzen Posted December 19, 2023 #53 Share Posted December 19, 2023 My opinion is, Full suite and Reserve Collection mini suites use the reserve collection dining area. No guests . Cheers, Buzz. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not. What happens if they want us to dine with them? They will have to dine in the regular dining room with you or you can all go to a specialty dining room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
901CiCi Posted January 5 #55 Share Posted January 5 Hi all- I haven't been able to figure out which MDR on the Regal Princess is for RC. I saw a video walkthru recently that said Symphony, does anyone know if that is accurate? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sox Fan Cruiser Posted January 5 #56 Share Posted January 5 I imagine it could be any dinning room and could possibly change depending on the cruise. You might need to wait until on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check back in the app. Can you tell me where is shows which dining room is RC in the app? Did you make reservations to RC dining? Soooo many questions LOL.

There must have been some logic to move it to the Concerto Dining Room. 😂 But I do know there are no reservations required or I believe even accepted in the Reserve Dining Room. That’s one reason we book Reserve Collection mini suites and higher, so we can eat there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using the "old" princess app, from the home page, scroll down to "Ocean Now", click on Dine my way, click on View or book individual daily reservations. My app tells me to enjoy Reserve Collection experience, no reservations necessary and shows Concerto Dining. I haven't found the dining info on the new app yet. Hope this helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajuntraveler Posted January 5 #67 Share Posted January 5 On the new app when you click on "Reserve Dining" from the home page, it lists the various dining options (including those that cost extra). Click on any Main dining room and at the bottom it says "You're always welcome and do not need to make a reservation when dining in Concerto Dining room." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

memoak Posted January 5 #70 Share Posted January 5 Reserve dining is almost always the deck six midship dining room. Grand class ships entrance is to the left Royal class ships entrance to the right 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not showing up on either app for me. Maybe too far out from sailing. 🤷🏻♀️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes me think of a 2nd question, does anyone know which of the speciality dining rooms they use for the embarkation day dinner perk?
