Oh I will probably be talking to the F&B director I see him often in Wheelhouse. Just don’t need to be pushed and rushed. I don’t really need the extra entree and I am betting in Botticelli it won’t have wait after 8:00. If so it may just get funky Plus I will see the captain at MYG lunch tomorrow
On the Ruby now showed up at 8:15 in Reserve dining was given a menu and pushed to order right away. Dining staff running all over the dining room frantically. Pushed out in 30 minutes will never eat there again will forgo reserve class and just eat in Botticelli
We cruise 3-4 times a year on crises 10-20 days each and since premier folks only get 2 it is never an issue. We have not seen much of a change in availability since the new package has shown up. As I said you could have shot a cannon through Sabatini’s at 7:40 on embarkation night
We don’t book premier. We do suites so none free and then pay for a couple more. No real change since premier still able to book when on board and first night Sabatini’s was totally empty maybe 6 tables full at 8:00
On any cruise you will usually have numerous holds on your card. This enables Princess to make sure you have enough credit to pay your bill at the end of the cruise
We have 60 cruises with Princess we have never had a situation where every table for every day and ever time was no available once on board. We prefer to eat later if you insist on eating at 6:00 then you may have an issue
I have never had an issue booking once on board by calling the dine line especially for dining after 7::30. We ate in Sabatini’s Sunday night at 7:40 and the restaurant was only maybe 2/3 full
Did you use a debit card ? That would be the only way it might come from a checking account or maybe PayPal Most use credit cards.
Amare the see pending ? They may be holds and not actual charges
On the Ruby right now lots of elites. They are saying 72 hour turnaround and our stewardess has told us that suites are prioritized but I would expect around 24-36 hours and I cannot complain about that
They already have now that shops are sailing full. Our offers used to contain up to $1,000 free play per person now it is between $250 to $400 Also plus package is rarely included
You cannot make reservations for the Reserved class dining area. There will be little or no wait whenever you show up Only full suites and reserve class mini can eat there
That is every night not just port days. Sea days have to add a couple of morning drinks plus lunch and some afternoon wine at Vines. We are boarding the Ruby Sunday i
