Senior Sea Dog Posted January 26, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) I have traveled with NCL including the Pearl(4 times) but not since the line offered "free" specialty perk. With my platinum rewards I have a total of six to use. I was wondering the need to scheduled all the choices before the cruise or be able to walk up after I see the choices in the Main dining restaurants and entertainment. Any suggestions?

Rare BirdTravels Posted January 26, 2019 #2 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Walk ups at 9:00 pm ok. Prime time walk-ups not so much. You should pre-book all specialty dining reservations. It appears you are on a longer cruise, so there may be more availability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLH Arizona Posted January 26, 2019 #3 Share Posted January 26, 2019 If you know what time you will want to eat, best to make reservations, especially at the Teppanyaki restaurant that has limited seating. You can make reservations on line or by calling 120 days prior to your cruise if in a non-suite and 130 days prior cruise if sailing in a suite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare KeithJenner Posted January 26, 2019 #4 Share Posted January 26, 2019 If you do book in advance, make sure you book any that have a fixed cover charge first. That way you avoid having to pay when you book. The link in my signature has details. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teppayaki's needs to be book as far in advance as possible. The rest, we are on a 10 day cruise leaving in 10 days; we are booked for 2 nights but the other 4 we are waiting until we board the ship. It is one of the first things we do when we get on the ship and usually get pretty much the time we want We prefer about 6:30: if we can't get that, we can almost always get 7pm or 6pm.

NH Cruisers Posted January 27, 2019 #6 Share Posted January 27, 2019 If you book direct through NCL you can book online or phone it in. If through a travel agent book through them. I personally would book 4 of 6 prior and 2 while onboard. I always try to book when I cant see land, like an hour or so after we leave port or any sea day.
