Early specialty restaurant booking.

[janecambridge]

Our cruise is in January and I was surprised we could book our restaurants 174 days before our trip ( and not 150days). Is this a new thing?

One possibility. If you are in OS, VS or OC suites and final payment has been made earlier than the 90/150 day mark the specialty reservation system will be available.

Have not paid final payment yet.☺️

Maybe a glitch in the system & you got lucky :)

Had one like instance some years ago not final payment related. System malfunctioned allowing reservations as you described. System was repaired and those bookings were deleted. Once system was mended normal booking rules were re established and maintained. O site in the US is currently down. Possibly related.

After reading this post, I tried to go on and book my restaurant reservations for Baltic Cruise in September (final payment made) and the site is experiencing technical difficulties. I could not get access at all and there was funny writing all over the page. I think they found the technical glitch and are fixing it right now! You were definitely lucky!

I will double check later and keep an eye on things..Last night,I went into the dining section online and couldn't get in to change one particular booking.So maybe I have completely shut the system down.:eek:
