I am on the phone with them right now about the same issues and about to tear the hair out my head. I have never in 14 cruises had so many issues! I just told my husband I am about to cancel this trip. And the guy on the line is giving me an attitude to top it off.

The last time I tried to make reservations for My Time, I had to reserve one night at a time, exit the process, and then go in again to do the next night.

Thanks, Bob! You seem to have all the answers I need. :)

We are sailing the Allure in April - Western route. Does anyone have information on the kids club schedule? Specifically, what nights kids can stay for dinner? Ours would be in the 8 - 10 age group.

Thanks!

Also, how do you add multiple nights for My Time Dining? It will only allow me to add 1 night. Don't I have to sign up for this as a backup so we don't end up eating at 10pm if we don't make a reservation?

Feeling very confused!

Thanks! Any idea why you cannot reserve your kids for specialty dining? It says to add them once you are onboard. Again, seems odd.

We are sailing on the Allure in April and I have been out of the cruise game for a few years. My how things have changed! All this booking specialty restaurants and reserving show times 3 months prior is stressing me out a bit. I am used to the "old" way of cruising...main dining room for dinner and do whatever you want afterwards.

Can someone help me out?

1. Are you pretty much out of luck if you do not reserve show times beforehand?

2. If you purchase one of the specialty dining packages, I see that you cannot choose the restaurants, but you can change once on board. This seems odd and like an inconvenience. Do they guarantee the time you picked if you change restaurants?

3. I also read that if you have a Junior Suite you can book the Coastal Kitchen for dinner, but only once on board. Is that correct?

4. We all know how you get tired and want to change your plans sometimes. Have you found it possible to make changes to these reservations last minute (in general)?

5. Do we choose "My Time Dining" so we are covered for nights we want to eat in the main dining room, even if that is only 1 or 2 nights?

6. Do you have to pay for all your meals when you reserve them now?

Thanks!

All great suggestions so far. Another option for Florence is Piazza Michelangelo which overlooks the entire city. I am not sure how late you will be there, but it is magnificent at sunset!!
