As of this morning it is not sold out for our cruise on Utopia next month. I have no interest in booking it based on several friends who have eaten there. Without exception all of them said it was not worth the money. This was before the recent price hike, making it even less desirable to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you're not stupid. Go to dining page and click on Chops to start a reservation but don't start one. Go to the top of the page where you'll see the URL strip. Click between the word CHOP & DINNER. When the line is white, not blue, change the word CHOP to RAIL. You'll notice that it also changed in the blue URL line. Then click on that blue URL line, which takes you to the reservation page for the Railway. It has been showing sold out but I think they just haven't released it yet. I've been checking daily. Some are saying that it will open up 30 days out from the cruise date but I still check everyday. Yep, still showing sold out for me this morning! Pooh!

Baowen Posted September 5 #31 Share Posted September 5 I was able to book it for our September 23rd Utopia cruise at 8:40 PM (late dinner for me!). There were only a few spots left. We have also purchased the UDP, so we will try to get the difference back at the purser's desk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price is $119/pp. OP, thanks for spreading the word as lots of people are looking forward to dining there. I didn’t book. I had 3 ladies seated by me in the MDR on recent Utopia sail and they got it for $72 pp. Does your price include 18% grats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t even listed as sold out. Doesn’t bother me much because I wasn’t planning on booking at $119/pp anyway but wondered if it was available for those old king to book. I hope that those of you who are looking to book are able to do so and that you enjoy the experience. I also hope those of you who do book come back and tell us what you thought of the experience. We also have no access to it. We are on the 1-13-25 cruise and it still hasn’t shown up once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's further proof that nothing is going to appeal to everybody. 🙂 Not having tried it myself, I have no opinion to offer ... but I'm definitely curious to see how the demand and pricing trends continue from here.

My personal observation/opinion is the word is starting to get out that Royal Railway is not that good. My next cruise on Utopia is October 14th. As of this moment there are plenty of reservations available on three of the four nights on the cruise. I also think the recent price hike has contributed to the slow down in sales for Royal Railway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie26 Posted September 6 #37 Share Posted September 6 A few weeks ago I was able to book the Railroad for our Nov cruise. While onboard in August the D concierge suggested that we go directly to the restaurant and see about any availability for our current cruise or the next one. We did get reservations for sept 1st. We got off that cruise this morning. That said, I am definitely canceling our November reservation. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The food was very good, the entertainment fun but the cost was way too much. I am very glad we did it but will not be going back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfguyxxx Posted Wednesday at 10:29 AM #38 Share Posted Wednesday at 10:29 AM Still saying "We’re stuffed! Reservations are currently not available.". Oh well. Maybe next time. We have the UDP, which I know doesn't apply to the Railway, so we'll still have some incredible dining options. Next time maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdsTinyT Posted Wednesday at 12:32 PM #39 Share Posted Wednesday at 12:32 PM When we reserved it only had one more seating on the last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to RCI's web site and My Cruise planner, the Royal Railway is not excluded from the UDP. I took a picture in case they deny the reservation. We board Utopia in February and are unable to make Railway reservations at this time. Hopefully, after the New Year, it will become available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizabethbp Posted Wednesday at 03:43 PM #41 Share Posted Wednesday at 03:43 PM We dined there this past weekend. It was interesting and I am glad we did it, but I would not do it again unless it was a new theme. The food was ok- not anything exceptional ( though I liked the rolls best), and the drinks too sweet for me. Our server, Stefan, was wonderful as was the host. The acting was very good though the script itself I felt was lacking. Far better food was at Hooked- service and food were exceptional there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
