Advance specialty restaurant reservation

[davy jones]

My cruise booking includes a specialty restaurant dinner for 2 voucher from the TA.   

 

The cruise planner does not permit a reservation without advance payment.  Is there any way to reserve in advance and pay onboard?

If you are in a full suite (GS+) you can reserve dining by replying to the concierge's email that is sent sometime during the week before you sail.  If not, I have heard that people who buy multi-night dining packages have been able to book (and pay for) individual meals, then once onboard, have those individual purchase prices credited back as OBC.  I would think that would work with vouchers, too, but I have no personal experience with that, plus RCCL is not always consistent in how they handle things.  The safest thing to do would be to book as soon as you board.

You will very likely get your desired date and time (or close to it) by waiting until you board.  Either visit the desired restaurant or there should be a podium at the dining room entrance.  But do it first thing before you eat or do anything else.
