cruzsnooze Posted January 11 #3 Share Posted January 11 It's the same menu as the main dining room and at dinner one extra dish is offered, usually a cheap fish or shrimp dish. The service is better then the dining room and there's no waiting. There are two tops and a few 4 tops but there are no sharing tables. Is the daily extra fare for this worth it? Maybe? I have used reserve class for the past several years. After last months sailing I will give it up. For what the fare has gone up to I'd rather eat in the specialty restaurant every dinner. Reserve lunch is only open on sea days if it's port intensive you be using the buffet for lunch 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skynight Posted January 11 #5 Share Posted January 11 Club Class is now called Reserve Class. On current ships it is a section of one DR for those in Reserve Class mini suites and full suites. Same menu as the MDR with an additional selection each evening. Super improved service. No reservations, walk in, prompt seating. On the new Sun Class ships it is a separate DR. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treasure Hunter Posted January 11 #7 Share Posted January 11 It is worth every penny not to make reservations each night but to come in when you are ready and feel like it. You are seated promptly and service is superb. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reserve Collection is not worth it for us given the cabin up-charge. We rarely eat in the MDR and would rather spend the money on specialty dining or some other cruise perk. For one of our upcoming cruises we chose a window suite for less money than a Reserve mini. We usually wouldn't consider cruising without a balcony, but decided for the money it made more sense in this instance to get full suite perks while paying less than a Reserve mini and only $11 more than a regular mini. Everyone has to weigh what perks are worth it to them 🙂 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzsnooze Posted January 12 #11 Share Posted January 12 I love those window suites. The location is absolutely perfect and you get to use the thermal suite which I adore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although we had standing reservations (not reserve class) at the same time for our complete cruise, we arranged to have the same table & wait staff for the entire trip. The only thing we had to do was scan our medallions each night & proceed to our table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbysMom Posted January 12 #14 Share Posted January 12 We love Reserve Collection. The key for us is that we don't know in advance when we are going to want to eat dinner. It's great not having to schedule activities around dinner reservations. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
