[Astro Flyer]

Today (8/30/24) there is an app update that now shows which restaurant is Walk-In, Flexible and Traditional dining. Here is a screenshot of how it is now displayed for Crown Princess.

On SUN- where is the American Diner located?

I believe that it's located on deck 8 above Anytime dining on deck 7.  This will be until she arrives in the states when there will be a shifting of various eatery venues.

@Astro flyer. Thanks, exactly what I posted for The Crown.Passengers have been booking for Crown P.on the app.

 

Traditional dining seems to be 5 PM and 7:30 PM with a few variations.

The reservable (Flexible is Princesses new term) a.k.a. dine my way starts at 5 PM and there are slots available every 20 minutes.

 

Open seating (Princesses new term) AKA walk-in is just that. 
 

 

Crown Princess- 2024-2025( January & September 2025 voyages are available to book now) Traditional & Botticelli are open to reserve

Michelangelo (mid deck 5) is traditional 5 pm & 7:30pm

Botticelli (aft deck 6) is reservable every 20 minute reservations (  option of shared or private table at 6 pm)

DA Vinci ( mid deck 6)-walk in

I'm surprised no one has reacted to my earlier post - #225. I thought it was pretty important to share that at least on the Enchanted, if you want to eat at 5:00pm or 7:30pm in the Traditional DR just on a couple of nights, you can reserve them. I assumed you had to book Traditional DR for the entire cruise. I'm happy we don't have to eat in the aft DR or chance a walk up in the other midship DR for the few nights that we aren't doing Specialty Dining. 

 

Did everyone else already know this? 🤔

@canadarocks yes I posted many times in the past month this + much more.

 

*** Some cruise critic members say they were able to book  dinner reservations for some nights in traditional and some nights in the reserve every 20 minute dining room .So a little bit of mix and match is apparently able to be booked.***

@arizonaperson Yes, Symphony times are the same as you posted…1700 & 1920.

When I originally reserved dining times for our October cruise on Emerald Princess, I could not get private tables or the times I wanted for every night, so I booked a variety and left some nights open.  Assumed we’d figure it out later or do casual dining. 
 

This weekend I was able to book a private table at the time and DR I wanted for the entire cruise.  🤷‍♀️.    So I guess the lesson is to keep checking!

[arizonaperson]

Does anyone have a different DR booked than how I have it listed? Just trying to see if this list needs an update . Thanks.

Based on cruises we have booked and reservations made today (after a lot of effort and multiple tries with error messages):

 

Regal Princess

Symphony Traditional 5 and 7:30 p.m.

5 p.m. reservable with a private or shared table, 7:30 reservable with a private table only

Allegro Reservable Anytime 5-8:40 every 20 minutes

Concerto assuming Anytime Walk-in 

 

Coral Princess

Provence Traditional 5 and 7:30 p.m.

5 Shared table only 7:30 private only

Bordeaux Reservable Anytime 5-8:20 every 20 minutes

 

I’m assuming traditional shared for 7:30 will open up later once Princess has an idea of how many big groups want to book traditional dining. Also pre-COVID I believe it has really had to get a private 2 person traditional dining table (if memory serves me) and Princess added a whole bunch of 2 person tables post-COVID so I’d imagine they haven’t reconfigured tables yet for traditional dining (with mostly shared tables). That is pure speculation on my part.

Any idea where they will place the walk ins on the Coral?
