sandrac213 Posted October 13, 2009 #1 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Have been looking and looking to book out upcoming cruise specialty dining. We are now 81 days out and still no dining available. We have our excursions booked and our coke cards, just waiting for the chops and portofinos. I have been looking on here and most people are saying it becomes available at 120 days out, but nothing yet. Is anyone else having this problem on thier upcoming cruise? Happy Sailing :) Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glo1196 Posted October 13, 2009 #2 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I am 99 days and 122 days out and can't make reservations at either of them also. I am hoping to get reservations for both when the child time is up, but not to late in the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glo1196 Posted October 13, 2009 #5 Share Posted October 13, 2009 If I get this right children under 13 can now eat at both specialty restaurants if they book the 7 pm time slot or before. So, for me I would want to book a seating after 7:45 or so. I love kids and all, believe me I have 3 of my own, and I teach for a living but if I am paying extra for a special meal I want it to be quiet.

I'm going on Freedom the exact same week you will be sailing on your ship. I'm going nuts not being able to do the restaurant bookings!:p I like having everything done before hand. Its not just you, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandrac213 Posted October 13, 2009 Author #7 Share Posted October 13, 2009 ok then I'm glad to see it's not just me lol. I am the same way, I just hate having anything hanging out there not done. I want everyone done and in order :p I guess I'll just keep watching and waiting. Happy Sailing everyone. Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Tequila Posted October 13, 2009 #8 Share Posted October 13, 2009 So, does anyone know when we will be able to book the specialty reataurants? Is it different for each ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rummenroman Posted October 13, 2009 #9 Share Posted October 13, 2009 It appears that everyone is trying to do it online. Has anyone tried to call C&A or RCCL to set this up? I did that for my Jan cruise and was off the phone in under 5 minutes, and $40 poorer! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabucs Posted October 13, 2009 #10 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I was able to (but still haven't ....debating) around 70ish days out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNKY Posted October 14, 2009 #11 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Hey all, Online restaurant reservations open sixty days prior to sailing, and close four days prior to sailing! It took me forever to find out this info btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted October 14, 2009 #12 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Hey all, Online restaurant reservations open sixty days prior to sailing, and close four days prior to sailing! It took me forever to find out this info btw. I am 66 days out today for our 12/20 cruise and made our specialty reservations online a few weeks ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNKY Posted October 14, 2009 #13 Share Posted October 14, 2009 My bad... I should of said, the open date for online booking is AT LEAST sixty days prior to sailing, Royal is ambiguous about this. Obviously they can and do, open booking earlier than sixty days out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandrac213 Posted October 14, 2009 Author #14 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Spoke with RCI this morning about the Indy's Jan. 3rd sailing and not being able to book the restaurants yet, she adv they will be open in about a week. No rhymne nor reason to this system apparently; as some people have booked the restaurants on other cruises as far out as 110 days. But I will just keep looking daily until they appear. :p Happy Sailing Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyprincess Posted October 14, 2009 #15 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Thanks for all the responses looking into it! I'll try in a week - like I don't try everyday anyway...;). The most frustrating thing is I got a fun email from RCCL that said 'exciting news about your upcoming cruise' and it listed going to the site, doing the countdown, prebooking excursions and everthing but it said and you can now book your specialty restaurant reservations. I was all excited but then I tried and nope!:( Oh well, soon enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
