Iona dining booking

[chris11256]

Has anyone had problems pre-booking speciality dining on Iona? We're sailing on G220 and wanted to pre-book the Epicurean. When we first got within the two week window it appeared as available, but when added to the basket changed to coming soon. Then a few days ago it and Sindhu are now enquire on board. 

 

Is this normal for Iona?

We are on G219 and booked Epicurean on 3June. Full payment less Peninsular discount taken on my credit card.

We’ve had the same ongoing problems for G220 booking Epicurean, and Limelight for first two nights. I rang customer services for help and was told both are IT glitches - yet again! - and have been reported. They say to just check daily online. Shame as it just creates added stress when you’re just wanting to have a few things pre-booked, especially being a new ship for us. And we’ve late boarding time so can see the venues we want will already be booked by early embarks using the booking ‘app’. Trying not to let is stress us now with everything else to do with cruise prep, testing etc. What will be, will be!

Thanks! We're still having the problem and can't book for any night at all.

We've not got too late a boarding time, but had a similar time on our staycation cruise last year and by the time we got on everything was fully booked. So hoping it's not a similar experience this time round.
