Dining Reservations?

[kayysums]

I am sure this has been asked before but I searched and couldn't find an answer. When does NCL open up the ability to make dining reservations and entertainment? I am sailing on the Encore in March 2020 and it says it's too early to book. Just wondering if I should be checking my reservation everyday or if there is a specific time when they open it (i.e. 30/60/90 days before sailing, etc)?

Usually 120 days.

Today was exactly 120 days for my Feb 2020 cruise and when I logged in this morning, I was able to book dining and show reservations when it was not available yesterday.

130 days for suites/Haven.

120 days for the rest.

Reservations for both dining and entertainment will sell out. Booking as close to 120 days out will get you the dates and times you want.

Does anyone know how many people I can make a reservation for?  We are traveling with a large group but 12 of us would like to eat together in the main dining rooms.

@steelersfan4ever when I booked the other day the slide down for number of people capped out at 4, but there is a 800 number you can call and they may be able to help you book.

You won't be able to book for 12 online.

I just booked a suite (SC) on the Dawn but it is already inside the 120 dining reservation window. So there are few, if any, desirable times still available at the specialty restaurants. Will the onboard concierge be able to help us out? Or will we be dining at 9:30 each night? Appreciate your insights.

My dining reservations all disappeared although I received a dining confirmation email.  Called NCL and they had not times available.

Only a percentage of reservations can be made online. The majority of reservations open on embarkation day. Have your desired times ready and give your requests to the concierge on embarkation day as soon as you can.

We are on the Encore in February

Was having difficulty on line with Entertainment and Dining and called 1800 number and a NCL rep booked  our Entertainment and Dining for all 3 couples.

They were great

If we have reservations at Teppenyaki on Escape and our friends have a separate reservation for the same time can we request to be seated at the same table? We are a group of 4 and they have 2.
