You can reserve specialty restaurants in your Cruise Planner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted August 8, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Not sure Freedom ever had reservations. Ice shows on smaller ships sometimes require tickets, but you pick these up at a desk when you board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCCLNYMETS41 Posted August 8, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Are the specialty restaurants available in the cruise planner ahead of time, or do we need to wait until we’re on board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do it all the time, they don't even look at your card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy one specialty restaurant yes, well in advance of cruise. If you buy a package of several meals you pick a time on first day and they may make a reservation for you. The remaining reservations can be made at any specialty restaurant or the booking desk when you get onboard. You can also change the placeholder reservation. Be prepared for not getting the specific time/place you want depending on how many people booked a specific restaurant at the time you would like.

I think concierge can help with that, if in a suite , I love the UDP so I can eat all dinners and some lunches in specialty , if not in suite just change our t as soon as you board.

SharkCruiser24 Posted August 9, 2022 #9 Share Posted August 9, 2022 In June, the lovely host at Giovanni’s made all of my reservations for me while I had lunch on boarding day. I had the unlimited dining package. It was great! I always eat at off times and was able to get every reservation I wanted. In the past, I had concierges take care of it, but I wasn’t in a suite that trip. As for shows, you don’t need a reservation for any shows. Just get there early for the ice skating shows, as others have said they do fill up quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
