Dinner reservations

[mitz18]

Just curious, if I don’t get dinner reservations in the restaurant I want when booking window opens (I’ll be overseas & not sure if near computer) do they normally set aside some tables for “walk-ups”? Any experience with that? TIA

For most venues, yes. When you embark, just ask your Butler to secure you a reservation wherever you like.

Depends on ship, capacity, time you want to eat, and venue.  On our cruise, we were WL’ed for Kaiseki and finally got in around Day 6 / 10.  If a particular restaurant that requires reservations is important to you and repeating on the early side is important, suggest making reservations in advance if at all possible. If not, talk to your butler right away and try to be flexible re dates and times.

Thank you both - normally book in advance but this time may be difficult.
