oh, ok, so 90 days before departure?

Supposedly.  However, a big update to dining was scheduled to happen today and hasn’t, so far.  
So, I would try to book the MDR in a few days, just to see if it’s possible.  Otherwise, after FP.

There is a thread about the Dining Reservations on the forum.  We will update it when the dining has been updated.

Here’s a thread.

Yes, others have had a similar issue.

This is not a b2b, as it is 2 different ships.  It’s a s2s (side to side).  
The only one that can correct it, is the IT dept.

If you go online to the website, the cruise personalizer should show correctly.

Use the website version of the App. and should be able to do a lot of the checkin processes.

If you have a CVP or TA, reach out to them to get the App corrected, as they may be able to get through to IT.

Otherwise, call PCL and ask for ocean Ready or IT to make a ticket to get it corrected on the App.

Hang in there.  Major changes or update to dining on ships.

This thread will explain.

Thanks for the update.

We have done it twice and not sure we want to pay $298 for it unless they have changed the regions they go to.

Agree!  I met the Dir of Rest ops on the Enchanted last year, who had started the 360 on the Discovery.  
My idea was to have it according to the area that the ship was sailing.  Entertaining and trying foods from the region would be awesome!

He said, it would be very expensive to change up the full production.

 Maybe, one day?

But, not in the near future.

It’s only been 2 months since the announcement!  😆Coming soon?  Maybe IT is in another time zone?  Another planet?

Does anyone know which dining room will be for what

ie fixed, reservations for a time, or walkin? I thought I saw it somewhere but cannot find it now. 

Maybe on the Sun?  We will know about the other ships..

after the update.

Thanks for the info.  I am sailing Aug 25th, so before the change you mentioned.  Can I reserve daily dining reservation times in advance, or will I have to wait until day-of?

You should be able to reserve the MDR.  It should be updated tmrw.  Let’s hope.  
Try it on the App.  You already made FP, so should not be an issue.

Let us know.

But what happens on June 17th?

Exactly, that’s what we will find out.  
They do a dump and reload process, so it has been affecting some who try to book a reservation for any date.  So, if they finish programming tmrw, like they say, we should go back in and rebook all the ones they canceled. 
 

For those, whom were waiting to make reservations, should be able to book them also.

Here is when we will find out if the advance booking for Platinum/Elite has changed?  Or, if anyone can book before FP.

My bet….it will still be inconsistent. 

Welcome back!  I would suggest to go through things that have changed on the PCL website, because a lot has changed.

However, download the Princess Cruises App and look at dining tmrw, June 17th, because it is changing.

This clip from the website may help.  You will have 3 choices, depending if you’re sailing after Sep 14?  

Before that date, it is called DMW, Dine my way.

You reserve a time and MDR that you want.  Wait till tmrw or later to try these options.

Hopefully, it will be loaded.

It’s consistently been inconsistent, as far as making reservations for the MDR.  

Some (non Platinum/non Elite) have been able to book right away and others after FP.

Who knows what the changes  be with advance bookings?  
 

Good point, though.

PacnGoNow  thank you

Be sure to check with the dine line as soon as you board or the next day.  Ask if there will be a pop up Crab Shack and when.

They list it in the patter, but I missed it before. So, good to ask.

We are booked on the Enchanted and couldn't find out if it had a Crab Shack pop up? On our last cruise on the on the Majestic we eat at The Crab Shack that was in the Crown Grill. We really enjoyed it. Does anyone know if the Enchanted  has the Crab shack?

There was a live from the Enchanted last month.  You might read it or pose this question.

Are there bathrobes supplied in all staterooms?

Thanks 

Normally, yes.  If you don’t have them, just ask your cabin steward.

June 12 - Thanks @Astro Flyer.  I couldn't open either app on my devices.  Blue screen wouldn't move.  Went through app store...it looks like it auto downloaded.....and said "open".  So I did, and it did.

 

BUT....still getting error message for trying to book Crown Grill on Embarkation night.  Then it lets me get to the next page where it says that no times are available.  

 

Ha Ha....A new message:  I can't currently make dining reservations since I am not paid in full / nor Elite.  Funny....neither apply.

 

I am so glad the app works well onboard.  Getting it to work from home has always been the issue for me.

 

 

Retry your SD or MDR after they finish the dining update June 17th. 

It has been affecting any dining reservations off and on, even SD.

Thanks to this message board, I just discovered EZCheck. It looks like a great option but am wondering if in the unlikely event our luggage is not at our final destination, do we deal directly with the airline? Are luggage parameters the same as if we did regular online check in?

Yes, deal directly with airline, like normal.

Sorry for the confusion. I need a flight from Toronto to Rome and a flight from Fort Lauderdale to Toronto. Doing a transatlantic. Only must it needs to be non stop. I’m flexible with dates. 

I looked on AC website and just put in Nov 12 one way YYZ FCO  and one way FLL YYZ on Dec 3.  There is a non stop each way.  Use your filter button when searching flights.  Click non stop.

That is correct. Not daily but that’s not my issue. What does one do when on a transatlantic and wants a round trip, not 2 one ways. 

This is not a permissible open jaw.  It is 2 one ways.  A round trip ticket does not apply.  A permissible open jaw would be…

the distance between your OJ can not be greater than the distance between your other cities on the ticket… Rome to FLL is a greater distance.  
 

Don’t think you need the explanation, just trying to tell you it does NOT qualify as a roundtrip or a permissible OJ ticket.  
 

TA itineraries would have to be one way tickets.  
 

EZAir has special rates with the cruiselines…Consolidator's AIr Cruise prices.  That’s why they can offer good one way fares.

Sorry, other than mileage points, or searching for airline one way tickets, IDK what else to tell you.

I am from Canada and I tried to book a return flight, NON STOP, with Air Canada online and by phone with no success. I need a flight from Toronto to Rome in November and then Fort Lauderdale to Toronto in December. I’m doing a transatlantic cruise. It will not let me book a return ticket from FLL. Travel agent confirmed this. So I’m stuck booking 2 one way flights, book EZair or use my points, the latter my least favorite choice. Any other suggestions appreciated! 

That is not a roundtrip ticket.  It is 2 one ways.  
 

Your best option is definitely EZAir or using your points.  
We’ve done both many times.

Only other option, is if an airline has one way discounted tickets. I’m sure your TA has searched for you.

Even if you don’t sign out the machine will automatically log you out after a few minutes of not playing. When I go to the restroom I will ask my wife to spin it once in awhile if she is playing next to me

So true.  But, my slot play is so fast….I do have to log out!

🤣

Oh I have no doubt they know.  Just seemed really strange and husband was amazed that the pit boss picked up on it.  They are aware of a lot more than we gave them credit for.

You better believe it.  They know.

I’m pretty sure they could tell who was using your account. They have cameras all over the casino and they know what slot games were played and at what time. 

Fast fingers!!😆

Odd.  Did he possibly log in to a slot and forget to sign out?

Otherwise, could have been a glitch with the casino.

They can see who was playing, as there are cameras all over.

Did he ask, how that happened?

Best RUMOR I’ve ever heard!

IDK, but it would be great!

That’s terrible.  So sorry to hear about your troubles.  I hope they compensated those affected.

Thanks for the laugh 🤣 today.

I sure hope so, as I a lot to rebook.  
But, past experiences, it may be a slow return update.  IDK
