Cruisegoer Posted August 4, 2021 #1 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Hi there, just curious if anyone who's cruised on the Horizon recently has noticed that the Specialty Dining Venues have been sold out once onboard? I've listened to a few vloggers on YouTube and it seems like they are even though the ships are sailing at reduced capacity. Anyone have any recent experience? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGNewton Posted August 4, 2021 #2 Share Posted August 4, 2021 We booked the steakhouse in advance and it was available the first day, but after that it was sold out.....the Teppankai (sp) was sold out before boarding.....book now....Monday and Thursday were formal; nights on the Southern Caribbean 8 day cruise....disappointed in the steak house on presentation and food......MDR rocked it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooManyWakeUpsTilWeSail Posted August 4, 2021 #3 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I just checked to see if I could add Teppanyaki on 9/15 to our sailing (was previously unavailable but now shows available). Went all the way thru to add .cc and bombed out. Tried again & shows “all the passengers in all the bookings have a conflict”. No idea what that means but I’m giving up on paid reservations with Carnival on this booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare EngIceDave Posted August 4, 2021 #4 Share Posted August 4, 2021 The website is jacked up. Stuff comes and goes on that page. I had Chef's Table show for twice on two different days and then it was gone. JiJi's just showed up, a month before he cruise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

July 24 - Aug 2 if not showing it is sold out, but if it repost that means someone canceled. The site is not jacked up, just the way it is.....the casino comp many free rooms and we found out they were booking with their OBC - tons of free cash floating with the high rollers....heck we even got a hundred thrown our way, please we had other credits....booked your execurtinsn early too!!!!

JaniceB Posted August 5, 2021 #7 Share Posted August 5, 2021 The website makes you pay to book, how do you change to onboard credit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to book online and then go to GS after boarding and cancel the original Reservation and then going and booking it again onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaniceB Posted August 5, 2021 #9 Share Posted August 5, 2021 That sounds complicated. Can you lose your time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

80sGal Posted August 10, 2021 #14 Share Posted August 10, 2021 We sailed Horizon 8/1. As soon as we boarded, we walked to Bonsai and made reservations for Tuesday night. They were not sold out yet even though it didn't show online availability. There were only a few time slots left though, so if you wait, go straight there upon boarding.

mac21902 Posted August 10, 2021 #17 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Just got off Horizon on 8/7 and we didn't have an issue booking any dining reservations onboard the ship. We ate at every specialty restaurant with the exception of the steakhouse as it didn't have great reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious on what nights are formal since I'm hearing different days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BlerkOne Posted August 10, 2021 #19 Share Posted August 10, 2021 On 7/10 Horizon, everything except steakhouse. Chef's Table wasn't offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
