Would if I could but I am computer/phone/app challenged. I have absolutely no idea how to even take a screen shot much less post it. If no one else does in the next 24 hours, I will type it here.

In fact I can’t even look at it I don't think the majority of passengers agree with you judging from the crowds! So, if not the buffet, our friend can go get his breakfast at the International Cafe and take it back to his balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no1superfan Posted May 5 #2711 Share Posted May 5 The problem is that the reservations are made on the APP and since we have Reserve Dining the APP sez "You have Reserve, You don't need any stinkin reservations". (I may have mis-quoted). I have called Princess and their representative had no answer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not give up dinner in reserve even for friends and family. Reserve is worth the extra $ (IMO). The menu is not really different, but the service is outstanding. On some ships, the Reserve section is adjacent to the main dining area so conceivably you could book a table on the other side of the "divide" for the big family and ask the Reserve host to seat you near them. They would have a different waiter, of course. I know, that sound like too much trouble. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was section for traveling companions on the App where one person enters the booking numbers for everyone else and then can make the reservations. I've done that for up to 8 people (4 reservations) before but it was more than a year so I hope someone with more recent experience will chime in. I just checked the on-line version and there is an 'add guest' option. I would think that someone without reserve wouldn't have the option (of selecting reserve) so should be able to make reservations for all 7 of you in the regular MDR. Good luck!

memoak Posted May 5 #2714 Share Posted May 5 Is there a reason you booked a reserve mini suite or a full suite that doesn’t involve the reserve dining. If you are in a reserve mini the dining is really the only thing extra you are paying for 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are in a reserve mini the dining is really the only thing extra you are paying for I "accidentally" booked a Reserve mini once. I usually do the minis anyway, and I chose one based on location not knowing it was a Reserve. When I figured out what I had done, I chose to go with it and didn't regret it. It's true that the dining is the only real perk (not the cheap wine in the cabin--do they still do that?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get on board, let them know at Reserve, you will not be showing up. (PS - I wouldn't have bothered booking a Reserve Mini as there are lots of other good locations without paying for something not going to use).

I think you will need to do each day separately. When you click on dining, pick a date and time, then it will ask you to pick specialty or main dining. You can also, click on the heart to go into your reservations and choose add a reservation, which when done will cancel the existing one. I think from there it will do what you want. I have never followed all the way through (in this new app) so I don’t know where it goes from there. Let us know if it works. Also, at some point there is a little man icon with a + sign in the upper right corner where you can add guest booking numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone can book specialty dining regardless of MDR status except for full suites where embarkation night is guaranteed and booked once you board through the dine line or concierge where available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used the SD choice to book crown grill which overrides my night at reserve, but haven’t tried the MDR choice since I don’t have others to dine with. It’s worth a try to see if it works.
