How do you know that the other person typing back to you via chat isn't also in the Philippines?

Because they are English, based in the UK. I have spoken to the same people on calling or they have called me back. If they were in the Philippines, it would be easy to tell by the language and grammar too.

Sorry,but I do think Over 1 year away is too soon and perhaps the app and the web version think so too?

obviously keep trying to book your dinner reservations and perhaps in August 2024 dining reservations will open up for the Royal Princess voyages in August of 2025.


I am not as hopeful as you as there are many that are booking dinner more than a year out (and I am able to do that with cruises on other lines).

 

Princess IT is not very capable in my opinion

New information,listed below ship by ship.

Please keep posting what you’re actually able to book for dinner reservations,not just what you see on the app and I will Try to update when I am able.

 

 

New  Princess dining and which dining rooms offers what

 

Some have stated that they have a guarantee room and they were able to book as of 7-1-2024 -their dining room reservation.  Also have seen posts that passengers don’t have their cruise paid in full & they were able to book dining. Some have reported that they’re Not platinum or elite and it’s their first Princess cruise and they’re not paid in full ,but they were able to book dining room reservations .

*Some passengers say Make sure you are fully checked in for your voyage,before making dinner reservations.

 

I have just compiled this list loosely from the posts under the dining threads of those that were able to book recently , so not set in stone on accuracy. 

 

**Some passengers are posting what they’re seeing on the app or the Web version ,but they’re not actually reserving/ booking dinner and this is throwing confusion in there. 

Because what you can actually book is not what is necessarily showing up in the app. **** So please just post what you were able to book/reserve.****

 

Reserve collection dining room ( former club class) is listed when known,but no need to make a reservation for those. Check your cabin “ card”  that should be delivered.

Hopefully , others can just add or correct  to this list to keep everybody informed.

 

From Princess website: choice when it comes to their dining experience by offering three table service options – Traditional, Reservable, or Walk-in Anytime - coupled with the brand’s industry exclusive OceanNow location-based “anywhere” service. Booked guests will be able to use the app ahead of their 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 them to enjoy dinner at any available time and table size of their choosing in either the Reservable or Open Seating dining rooms. 

 

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.

Just to add to the confusion for Sky Princess - I have a October 2026

cruise booked and although early being elite decided to book dining.Only Soleil is available for booking - 20 minute slots from 17 30 to

21 10. Booked 12 nights at 18.10.

Remains to be seen if they are cancelled when Princess sort thing out

I'm Elite and have been trying to book the Majestic in January, 2026.  I want Traditional but only the reserved times in Symphony are showing up. I tried booking 5:00 in Symphony private table.  It would go all the way through and then said something was wrong.  This was after checking the box that I wanted the same time every night.  So yesterday I tried going day by day and it worked!  I know it's a LONG way off but I wanted to just take care of it.  I'll check occasionally to see when Traditional opens up.  We spoke with IT before booking dining yesterday concerning a different problem and he said we shouldn't be able to book dining until maybe January 2025.

@palolake thanks I have updated the list for your 2026  Majestic voyage. I’ll post an update when I have more corrections.

I agree with Princess IT person you spoke to…..it is way too early for ALL DR reservations for dining in 2026 to be functioning. 
Glad you have a reservation at the moment,even though not your first choice.

You did not miss it .The Sun Princess since it’s inaugural cruise has been taking reservations just like they currently are . I didn’t mention The Sun Princess because it pretty much started this new dining program on the rest of the ships. This thread is for the change that is about to happen September 15, 2024 on all ships except Sun. Sun Princess passengers did not have their DR reservations canceled like the other ships.

Thanks for the information, might be helpful. So far I haven’t seen  CC members having difficulties with knowing the DR situation on the Sun.

 

Below is from Princess:

Starting on April 15, 2024, the new approach will launch on Princess voyages departing September 14, 2024 and beyond. To support these changes and the transition to the new system, main dining reservations that already have been made for voyages sailing September 14 and beyond for any ship ***except Sun Princess will be cancelled. *****Main dining reservations for guests sailing through September 13 will not be affected. 

This change does not affect guests booked in specialty dining restaurants or suite or reserve collection accommodations, who enjoy a dedicated dining room on Princess ships, where no reservations are required.

 

*****Making all dining formats available fleetwide follows the resounding success of this new approach already implemented aboard the new Sun Princess.  *****With the stunning introduction of the new next level Love Boat came the debut of three-story dining room with one floor dedicated to traditional dining, another serving guests with a flexible reservation and a third for anytime walk-ins.

New information. Passengers have been able day by day to book more and more dates for dinner. So keep trying. Fall 2025 and beyond.

 

 

Some have stated that they have a guarantee room and they were able to book as of 7-1-2024 -their dining room reservation.  Also have seen posts that passengers don’t have their cruise paid in full & they were able to book dining. Some have reported that they’re Not platinum or elite and it’s their first Princess cruise and they’re not paid in full ,but they were able to book dining room reservations .

*Some passengers say Make sure you are fully checked in for your voyage,before making dinner reservations.

*** 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.***

 

I have just compiled this list loosely from the posts under the dining threads of those that were able to book recently , so not set in stone on accuracy. 

 

**Some passengers are posting what they’re seeing on the app or the Web version ,but they’re not actually reserving/ booking dinner and this is throwing confusion in there. 

Because what you can actually book is not what is necessarily showing up in the app. **** So please just post what you were able to book/reserve.****

 

Reserve collection dining room ( former club class) is listed when known,but no need to make a reservation for those. Check your cabin “ card”  that should be delivered.

Hopefully , others can just add or correct  to this list to keep everybody informed.

 

From Princess website: choice when it comes to their dining experience by offering three table service options – Traditional, Reservable, or Walk-in Anytime - coupled with the brand’s industry exclusive OceanNow location-based “anywhere” service. Booked guests will be able to use the app ahead of their 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 them to enjoy dinner at any available time and table size of their choosing in either the Reservable or Open Seating dining rooms. 

 

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

Update for Royal Princess.

Today I was successful reserving in the Allegro Dining Room (every 20 minute slots) for a July 2025 cruise. This included 8 people at a private table with 3 staterooms. Although we are Elite, the others are not Elite nor Platinum and no final payments have been made, nor have people checked in.

We had previously only been able to book Traditional in Michelangelo in Crown for September 2025 and were not subsequently able to change to Reservable but today were able to change to Reservable in Botticelli - it did not overwrite previous booking it gave us both bookings and we had to cancel original (so did not overwrite original)

I have bit the bullet and booked for a short cruise May 2025 on Caribbean Princess.  Elite and got reservations on app no problem.  Island Dining room (as reported here) fixed seating late 7:30, table for two.  We do prefer to share but that wasn't available at 7:30, so we'll try to switch once on board.

@arizonaperson They changed things! I'm Elite and had been waiting to book the Majestic in January of 2026 for Traditional.  The only thing available was Symphony dining room, reservable every 20 minutes.  So I booked a table for 2 at 5:00 there.  Boy was I surprised to go onto the app today and see that we had traditional at 5:00 (first seating) in Symphony.  I guess I was just lucky to pick 5:00.  All dining rooms are open now.  Symphony is Traditional, Concerto is walk in and Allegro is reservable every 20 minutes.

@palolakethanks so much,glad you were able to book what you want. And it’s passengers and members of Cruise critic like you that are passing this information along that we can update future passengers.

so your 5 PM traditional dining in Symphony are you at a private table or shared table? Did you notice what the availability was for either of those for all three dining rooms? Or just the one that you booked? And what about second seating is that 7:30 PM? thanks for any help. I will be updating the list and posting it soon.

We're at a private table.  It looks like all timed options are open in Allegro.  I can't see what the other time is in Traditional without cancelling our reservations.

New information.

If you see a ship that you are on and I have incorrect information ,please help me keep this list going if you book a dining reservation just let me know the ship name, the dining room that you were able to book, private or shared table ,thanks.

At this point, it’s not helpful if you’re just looking at the app and don’t book the reservation Sometimes by looking at the app it’s different from what you can actually book.

Great that you were able to book your dining reservations. So do you have anything different than I show on my list or anything to add based upon the Enchanted or the Royal?
Seems as if you are booked in the reservable dining room on both ships and at private tables? Is that correct and did you notice any times being unavailable for private table or shared table?

Pretty sure for both ships that you are on I have everything correct ,but if you have something to add, please let me know. Appreciate it.

Princesses new term is flexible dining or reservable. I believe ATD is no longer in the “ picture” ??
