One MDR will be Anytime, another Traditional with the set times. Thanks. So there is still anytime dining (even before this newest iteration)?

How is the new policy different than what is being done presently for voyages before September 14th? Is there not anytime dining already? From my Princess April email: Starting with voyages departing September 14, 2024, Princess will designate separate dining rooms aboard every ship in the fleet* to three table service options: Traditional dining offering an early and a late seating every evening Reservable dining times Open seating to support walk-ins anytime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two months is a long time. I think Princess just forgot about it. Edited June 18 by billco 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you actually found the correct answer to why so many non communication issues. Princess being an older cruise line is have senior moments and just forgetting. 😂 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those seatings were generally 5:00 to 5:45 for early and 7:30 to 8:15 for late. I believe the times are based on how the maitre’d and the CD work together to coordinate their schedules for the evening Princess Theater performances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threebluestars Posted June 18 #84 Share Posted June 18 Sep 1st? I'm sailing Sep 12th and didn't think I'd have to rebook. I booked a week ago and those reservations are still showing and new dining doesn't even apply to my cruise ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare PescadoAmarillo Posted June 18 #90 Share Posted June 18 I just received an email from Princess. How hard was this? Dear Valued Princess Guest: We wanted to inform you of a change regarding our main dining reservations. Due to an unanticipated delay in finalizing our app update, the ability to book reservations has been delayed. The new date for reservations is now set for July 1. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding and patience. As previously announced, starting with voyages departing September 14, 2024, Princess will designate separate dining rooms aboard every ship in the fleet to three table service options: Traditional dining offering an early and a late seating every evening Reservable dining times Open seating to support walk-ins anytime Once updates are complete, you will be able to use the app ahead of your voyage to opt for traditional seating in a dedicated dining room with the same waiter, same table and same time each night, or flexible dining, allowing you to enjoy dinner at any available time and table size of your choosing in either the Reservable or Open Seating dining rooms. Thank you for your continued support. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MyriamS Posted June 19 #100 Share Posted June 19 Once again, the message does not mention whether you need to have made final payment to choose your dining style. I now you have to currently, to make any kind of dining reservations, but nothing about what the new system will be like. Due to German law, our final payment date is 30 days before the cruise instead of 90 days, so I'd like to know if I need to pay two months in advance just to choose an early sitting in the MDR (I'm not interested in booking any speciality dining).
