WildBlueYonder64 Posted October 27, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 27, 2021 We're booked on a B2B on the Mardi Gras in February, and are wanting to make reservations at Cucina for Valentine's Day. It's not showing up along with the other specialty dining options, do we have to wait until we're onboard to make reservations at Cucina? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted October 27, 2021 #2 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I think you need to wait until onboard since Cucina is an extension of main dining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callypso Posted November 8, 2021 #5 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I would like to make a reservation in the Steakhouse for a party of 16. Does anyone know how to do this ? Do I have to wait until I board? I would like to do it ahead of time so I can be assured of a table or 2 together. It is for a 50th birthday party.

Go online and see if you can book it - and yes, they do make you pay at the time of the online reservation @ $38 pp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondello Posted November 8, 2021 #8 Share Posted November 8, 2021 You can try and book the same day/time for 16 and contact the Steakhouse upon boarding to link your group. They need to make arrangements for groups of 10/more. If money is no object, double down and book a special Chefs Table for your party. It is $75pp or $95pp on some ships.

The only current way to do it in advance is to have each cabin make their own reservation and then go to the Steakhouse on embarkation day and combine the bookings.

Once there, it is a simple matter to get a spot. The app is used for everything and you can check in for a table while in your cabin once the dinner times open (roughly 5:30 PM). No reservations, but check in when ready to eat for ATD dining. Worked great last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cucina is different on the MG than on the other ships. It is a 15.00 upcharge on some of the ships, but Cucina as well as Chibang are extensions of the MDR on the MG and as such are free and reservations can't be made until the day of onboard.

From what I've seen stated here, it's only an extension of the dining room if you choose Your Time Dining. Want to skip the main dining room one night and go to Cucina or Chabang? Fine, if you're in the YTD dining room. But if you're in traditional dining room you only can go to Cucina or Chabang if there are leftover slots after the YTD people get their choice. What's with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't make the rules, I just play the game. If you have traditional late seating, you're fine, just check in at 800. The only problem is if you have traditional early seating. Then you have to shift your dining from 600 to checking in after 730 if you wish to go to Cucina or Chibang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Chibang. Go to seaday brunch early for breakfast, then either of the other two for lunch. The lunch menu has mozzarella sticks and a tomato soup as apps in addition to the pasta options.

It's been so long since I've been on a cruise ship, or looked on Cruise Critic I don't remember anything with complete clarity any more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
