pauly Posted July 11, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 11, 2022 We would like to try the 3 pack specialty dining. Whats the best way to book these. I dont want to do it ahead of time since its not giving me any options. Should we talk to the guy at the entryway, or go to one of the restaurants. If we cant get around the times we want, we are willing to walk away, and then I think something "magically" will open up? Thoughts? Have been on Mariner or Royal in awhile.

Folks have canceled dining packages when they couldn’t get the times they wanted once on board- go to any specialty venue to book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare lazydayz Posted July 11, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 11, 2022 They sometimes have a table set up for this, but as soon as we board, we just go one of the restaurants and book all of our dinners for the cruise. We have always been able to get a reservation within 30 minutes of the time we want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woneill63 Posted July 12, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 12, 2022 We bought the three night dining package on the Mariner a few years ago. Right after boarding I went to Chops and made all my reservations for the sailing. I got the nights and times I wanted within 30 minutes. I have since been on the Mariner a few times and all the specialty restaurants were very good, especially Chops. The best was easily Chef's Table, I can't recommend this experience enough, well worth the eighty something dollars spent per person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfguyxxx Posted July 12, 2022 #5 Share Posted July 12, 2022 As they've stated, as soon as you get onboard, make your reservations at any speciality dining venue. Note however that the Chef's Table is not included with the UDP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taglovestocruise Posted July 12, 2022 #7 Share Posted July 12, 2022 We aways have a package, always pre purchase, and have never not been able to get the time or day we want. Best price is usually in the cruise planner rather than onboard. Through the cruise planner you pick night one and a time, rarely is a reservation actually booked, you are simply making a place holder. As soon as you board go to any specialty to make all three of you reservations. I would guess Jamies would have the shortest line, seems everyone and their brother insist on making reservations at Chops which sometimes has a line out the door the first few hours after boarding. Once your reservations are made you can switch restaurants, days or times if you need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
