CasinoCruzGirl Posted January 26, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Will I be able to book specialty restaurants online prior to my cruise on the BA? How long before my cruise can I do that? Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare KeithJenner Posted January 26, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 26, 2014 45 days before. Don't feel that you need to though. There is lots of availability onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legion3 Posted January 26, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Yes, 45 days out for regular cabins, 60 days for suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauer-kraut Posted January 26, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Your credit card will be charged at the time of the reservations, so if you wanted to use on board credit you'll have to wait until you are on board. Also, there is a cancellation fee, so make sure it is a night you truly want to dine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare KeithJenner Posted January 26, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I thought the cancellation fee was only charged if you don't give 24 hours notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycarla Posted January 26, 2014 #6 Share Posted January 26, 2014 My family needs to learn from yours. Whenver I ask them where they want to go eat in an hour, they have no idea. Getting them to decide two months in advance.... ROFLMAO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdvmd Posted January 26, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Yes, 45 days out for regular cabins, 60 days for suites. 55 days for suites and you must call in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nutley chick Posted February 3, 2014 #8 Share Posted February 3, 2014 55 days for suites and you must call in. This is the first I'm seeing that you must call in. Is that correct? today is my 55 day mark and i was coming on here to ask why my choices weren't showing. I guess you may be on to something :cool: I would rather see it all in front of me before I call. Do they send you something so you can kind of plan around things you may want to do?

champagne123 Posted February 3, 2014 #9 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Someone here on Cruise Critic gave me the best piece of advice last year, when we went on the Breakaway... Do NOT make reservations. Why? Because you are going to read the dallies....see something that you and your family REALLY wants to do....but you can't, because you have reservations. We NEVER once, had a problem getting a table for the six of us nightly. There were soooo many time slots open and tables available for every single restaurant. HAVE A GREAT TIME.......

I'm not really interested in booking restaurants so much as I really want to book the cirque thing. I would be so disappointed if I don't get to see this. Do you think here will be a problem getting in to this show. I'm in a Haven suite so I hope they will be able to get us in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it shows up on your booking 45 days prior to your cruise. Even if you do not get the Dinner/Cirque, you can still go just to the show without the dinner. Have you read the reviews for the food for this? Not very good. Not trying to burst your bubble....just suggesting you see the show for free and have dinner elsewhere. Just a thought. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with opinions above, and would DEFINITELY advise you to book this ahead of time. On our Epic sailing a few years ago, we pre-booked Cirque and thought about changing the day once onboard. The concierge was unable to find anything for us the whole week, starting right at embarkation - it was all sold out ahead of sailing, nothing saved for the suites.

dexddd Posted February 3, 2014 #16 Share Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) I didn't know that you could see it for free. I would do that but this is the fiorst of heard of being able to see it for free. We are on the sailing before you. The only thing I booked when they became available at 55 days was Cirque. I did that online and did not have to call in. It looked like the dinner places were bookable online as well but we didn't book any. Based on a recent listing of the dailies, we picked Cirque on the first night. I think it was at 8:30 (there was also an early show like 5:30). We can also catch part of the welcome show which should be at 7:00. ETA: I've never read anything about it being free if you didn't eat.
