bklvr99 Posted October 14, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 14, 2016 New cruiser and first time poster, so please be gentle with me! I have completed the online reservation form twice for the Steakhouse on Carnival Freedom, sailing October 22nd. I didn't receive an acknowledgment or confirmation email from Carnival regarding the reservation. Does this mean that they just didn't have any time available? The website states that if your time is not available, then you will be given he next available time slot, but I've heard nothing at all. Any thoughts on what I could do next to confirm that I have a spot? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florings Posted October 14, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Hmmm, I have always gotten a confirming email, so not sure why you are not. Can you call Carnival customer service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bklvr99 Posted October 14, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I can do that. Just thought there might be some easier way. Thank you for your reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natlteam10 Posted October 14, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 14, 2016 We cruised on the Freedom in July. Wit took them a couple weeks to confirm my reservation. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use FDSUPPER@carnival.com - I have always had then respond! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I requested a reservation twice after not receiving any confirmation. I would like to know before boarding because the reservation is on the day we embark. It is subject to other factors including what to pack in our carryon bag or whether we should be prepared to dine in the MDR that evening. If you should receive any resolution, please keep us informed. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm positive you will get a table the first night. They also have a list of all the reservations. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DebJ14 Posted October 14, 2016 #16 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I put in my request for the Freedom for late April. I got the confirmation e-mail within just a few hours. I would resubmit it if it has been 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted October 14, 2016 #17 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I usually get my confirmation within 48 hours, but I'm Platinum and now Diamond. Since we get priority reservations, they may be holding off on confirming regular requests until closer to cruise time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fshstck Posted October 15, 2016 #19 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I would also print a copy of the e-mail you sent requesing confirmation and bring onboard with you. They usually have a display set up near the MDR about the Steakhouse, talk to someone there or go up to the Steakhouse nd speak directly to someone. It will work out fine and be well worth the upcharge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinthemed Posted October 15, 2016 #20 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I have sent in my request 3 times and have not received an answer. I added a note to the occasion letting them know this is my 3rd request. The first night of our cruise is New Year's Eve and I am sure it will fill up. I would appreciate the Miracle's email if anyone has it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
25thanniversatycruise Posted October 15, 2016 #21 Share Posted October 15, 2016 We sail out tomorrow (Saturday) on the Magic. We didn't get confirmation for steakhouse or chef's table until this afternoon. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Banditswife Posted October 15, 2016 #22 Share Posted October 15, 2016 We just had this same situation on the Freedom out of Galveston in Sept of 2016. I had submitted a reservation form for 8PM on embarkation day & never got any confirmation. So when I boarded the ship I asked in the atrium about it & was told to see the maitre'd between 1-3 PM in the main dining room. They did have the reservation we had requested & were able to confirm our dining time as well. It must be a problem with that ship or that maitre'd. I had even asked our TA about not receiving any confirmation. Emailing them might help. On a side note, we didn't think the food was as spectacular as we've read it is on here. IMO it was no better than the MDR. Maybe we just had bad luck on this cruise as far as the steak house is concerned, but I will never pay an additional $70 again for the quality of food we received.
