BeachLoverstoo Posted January 15, 2017 #26 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Like splintz, we always booked once we board. Unfortunately on our B2B on the Magic in November the steakhouse was completely booked. I noticed only the Italian restaurant was taking reservations when we boarded, but really didn't think much of it until we went to the steakhouse and discovered it had been booked well before we sailed. We went to the Italian restaurant for dinner both weeks and enjoyed it, so not a total disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruisegirl6 Posted January 15, 2017 #27 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Friday I made my Steakhouse reservations for all 7 nights and heard back with from them within three hours from sending them the email...they informed me three days my 7pm time was not available (for May cruise) and said they had 8pm, I wrote them back accepting the change of times and again, three hours later, they confirmed.

Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted January 15, 2017 #28 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I booked a cruise yesterday, and went back online and booked the steakhouse this morning. I just got this: "Dear Jeff Von Reichenbach, Thank you for choosing*Pinnacle Steakhouse for your dining. * Your reservation request for*2 Guests at 7:00 PM*on April 11th , 2017 is confirmed.* Should your plans change, please keep us advised at*slsteakhouse@carnival.com We look forward to serving you!* Irina Toader Steakhouse Manager" Having done both the Steak House and Chef's Table previously, the Steak House quality of meat and seafood is much better than Chef's Table. That said, the preparation, sauces, etc. at Chef's Table are what you would expect - truly chef-inspired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojavetex Posted January 16, 2017 #29 Share Posted January 16, 2017 The email did the trick! I just heard back from the steakhouse manager that my reservation was confirmed. Not a response to my online request but to my email. So if there are those of you who want to confirm your reservation and you've been patiently waiting for a response, I'd email the manager of the steakhouse. The id is usually the first 2 characters of the ship followed by 'steakhouse@carnival.com'. In my case, BRSteakhouse@carnival.com, for the Breeze. To those who question why we make reservations in advance, in my case it's because I want to assure that I'll be able to eat on the date/time that I choose, and I prefer to make the reservation in advance so that it's confirmed. It may be okay to wait til on the ship, you may have always gotten the date/time you want, but that doesn't mean it will always happen! I sent an email to FRSteakhouse@carnival.com. It could not be delivered. Help! Anybody know Freedom's email abbreviation? Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaded Lady Posted January 16, 2017 #33 Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) I'm trying to make a reservation for June on the website but on the year drop down they don't have 2017 listed, am I missing something? Where did you make your reservation? Sent from my iPad using Forums I just checked- for my cruise I don't have a year dropdown- I have a date dropdown that lists all of the sailings for my cruiseship this year e.g. Sept 17, 2017... Sept 24, 2017 etc. When I pick the date I want, I can then specify the time. Are you logged into your booking when you try this? Do you have more than one cruise booked? Try this: Log into your booking. Click on Specialty Dining Reservations on the right (below the area where you select Excursions or the Fun Shops)- select the link for the Steakhouse Enter your information, the date and time, and number of people in the reservation. Make sure you mention if you're celebrating something special. Edited January 16, 2017 by Shaded Lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riclop Posted January 17, 2017 #36 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I requested a reservation at the steakhouse online. When can I expect to hear back from Carnival regarding that reseA day A day or three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojavetex Posted January 18, 2017 #37 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Freedom is FD Thank you so much! I sent an email last night and received an answer this afternoon. I told them I had sent a request through Carnival.com and their response was "Please be advised that this is the first request we received from you". I filled out the request form on Carnival.com twice, over a month apart. That is disturbing. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funinthesun1964 Posted January 26, 2017 #40 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Steakhouse reservation priority and guarantee are platinum and diamond perks. Depending upon demand from these groups, others may be held off, waitlisted or in the case of faraway dates, not even replied to and put in their hold box. Ok, so how does this work? I'm platinum. I'm sailing in about a month on Vista. I emailed for reservations this past week. Haven't heard. But just because I'm platinum, I can't knock another group out of their reservation? That wouldn't be right! Even if they're not platinum or diamond! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenn1974 Posted January 26, 2017 #41 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I got my response about 4 or 5 days after I sent the request. I am so excited to try the Steak House. 28 more days.. Woot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissKIA Posted January 26, 2017 #42 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I sent in a request a while ago, I'm not sure of the exact date, but it was at least a month ago. I just received an email the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMKakaThing2 Posted January 26, 2017 #43 Share Posted January 26, 2017 In November I received confirmation for reservations for the steakhouse and Chef's table...for my April 2018 cruise. I believe it was less than a day when I heard back from the hostess confirming the reservations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
