jerbeth Posted October 7, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Decided after so many canceled plans that we would treat ourselves to a suite for the very first time in over 40 cruises.😀 This may seem silly, but I see that one of the perks is a complimentary specialty dinner on Embarkation day. Just wondering how that works. Any time I have tried to set up specialty dining for that first time - on another line I will admit - we could only get very late times and we would want not later than 6:30 - 7. If it is through the Medallion App, how far ahead of departure does that start to work? Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you go to pay it will not charge you anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were super accomodating. We are early dinner folks and they didn't care. Gave us the time we wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzsnooze Posted October 7, 2022 #4 Share Posted October 7, 2022 If your cruise is over 6 nights you will get this perk. If it's a shorter cruise you will not. I always wait to book on board. I have never had an issue with time, they are accommodating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Hag Posted October 7, 2022 #8 Share Posted October 7, 2022 We did our first and probably last suite cruise last Fall on the Ruby. There was a piece of paper in our cabin directing us to call for a reservation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare donswife Posted October 7, 2022 #9 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I was able to book it through Medallion app and on the payment screen it credited the full amount. This only works the first night (I tried a different night to test 😄). All times were open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
