Platinum Le Bistro Question

[Katesowner]

Here's hoping some of you will have experienced our situation on a cruise already completed. We are 3 platinums and would like to make reservations in Le Bistro before the cruise for the night we sail. Am I correct that we will be charged up front for all 3 of us (even though we intend to use one of our dinner/wine certificates for 2 of us when we go)? If so, who will reimburse us for the 2 free meals for that night? What about the service charge?

 

Thanks!

I know they will reverse the free meals but don't know about the service charge. We used 2 platinum certificates in April and had no problem booking immediately upon getting on the ship. Most times were open at that point.

They may charge you at the beginning, but when you arrive at the restaurant and give them the voucher, they will apply it and there will be no charge. The vouchers will include the 18% service charge, but you may also leave an additional tip if you feel like it. In essence.....a N/C meal for 2 for each voucher!

When we sailed in April, we waited to book until we got on the ship. We did this immediately upon boarding and there were plenty of time options available.

 

We did this based on the recommendations of others here on the boards who shared their experiences of the hassle of getting reimbursed. It worked out very well...no worries.

 

Enjoy!

And remember if you pay now it will be charged to your cc. The credit on board will be an OBC.

They will not reverse the charge to your cc.

Thanks for your info!
