I'm a bit confused about the specialty advance bookings.
Our last cruise was RCL, we bought unlimited specialty dining and the concierge took care of all bookings once we were onboard.
We are on Apex June 6, and have made most speciality reservations via the website. As we eat early, we booked all 6 pm meals.
I've also noticed that many of the speciality dining slots are currently full.
I would like to purchase the 8 night dining package, but it appears that I have to forfeit my valued dinner reservations and then start making new reservations once onboard.
I don't want to take the risk of not getting the dining venues and times I want.
If I try to book my 8 restaurants, and add the 8 night dining package, the cart shows charges for the 8 restaurants plus the charge for the 8 night package. That means I am paying double.
I really don't want to forfeit my current reservations. Am I missing something or being too obessive?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
