junglejane Posted June 8, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 8, 2022 If staying in a suite, do you need to make a reservation on the app if you want to take advantage of the complimentary specialty dining on embarkation day? Or do you just show up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, went to Sabatini's (wanted to try the "new" menu) and were again told to "just show up". This was on the Discovery in April. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffeehound510 Posted June 8, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I was able to make a reservation on the medallion app for our upcoming cruise and it "zeroed out" the cost. My sister who is in the suite with me tried to do it and it said it was going to charge for it, so I think the person who booked the suite/guest 1 might have to do the reservation for the credit to be applied. In the pre-covid days when we got to our cabin there would be a card with our assigned time and restaurant. If we wanted to change it, we would just call the dine line or stop at Sabatini's or Crown Grill and get it changed. That should still work if the medallion app doesn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would worry that we would end up waiting for an extended time. I really don't enjoy waiting to be seated and would much rather have a reservation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memoak Posted June 8, 2022 #6 Share Posted June 8, 2022 We have called the dine line but never liked the times so we just go to the Crown Grill and set up times there. No need to use the app they always leave some tables open for the suite passengers they know are coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Hag Posted June 8, 2022 #9 Share Posted June 8, 2022 When we were on the Ruby last fall, there were instructions to call dine line and ask for what we wanted. We did that and were able to get a reservation at the location and time that we wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tak8 Posted June 8, 2022 #10 Share Posted June 8, 2022 In May, I just called the Dine Line and was able to get the time I wanted for Crown Grill. Same for week 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voljeep Posted June 8, 2022 #11 Share Posted June 8, 2022 seems like the 'suite' specialty dinner reservation - no problem seems like the specialty dining booking promotion - maybe a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog Posted June 8, 2022 #12 Share Posted June 8, 2022 We made our suite reservation online for first night, since we have had trouble getting reservations on-board for specialty dining. More passengers are getting the plus packages that have included dining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candydane Posted June 8, 2022 #13 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Pre-Covid, we had the Concierge make our dinner reservations. Will we be able to do that now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK I just tried this and it worked. Right now the Emerald Princess is only showing the Crown Grill as available for specialty dining reservations. I've been following the recent posts about the Emerald and it sounds like the availability of Sabatini's is uncertain and dependent on staffing issues. So I made us a reservation at Crown Grill on the Medallion app and it zeroed out just as you said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare scooter6139 Posted June 8, 2022 #15 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I had no issue making the reservation in the app a month before sailing. Didn't expect it as it was only a 4 night cruise but it worked when I tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grislap Posted June 9, 2022 #16 Share Posted June 9, 2022 We were on the Royal on its May 28th voyage out of Vancouver. After checking out our suite (B734, it was great) we wandered around the ship. So we just dropped by Sabatini's and made a reservation in person. It wasn't at all crowded, so we probably didn't need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
