[Quinte Girl]

If I have our friends booking confirmation number , will I be able to make reservations for all four is us prior to getting on the ship at specialty restaurants?

Usually if they are in the same booking window

Just remember that if you book your friends with you, it will use one of their guaranteed reservations.

They don’t have to be in the same booking window. You just need their booking number. So, whoever has the earliest access to make reservations can book for others.
Enjoy your cruise!

so this is new   but maybe  it was allowed during  the covid cruise

pre covid  it was not  & hopefully will go back to the original system

 Unfair for those in suites or PH  to book friends in the lower categories early  & take the time slots away for those that have to book last  in line

Simple solution, travel with friends that book Vista suites. This has always worked for me.

Those in suites or PH get to eat w their friends. You just need more friends in higher categories, as Shepherd Really suggests. 😜

On the other hand, when higher category passengers booking with others they reserve 4-6 tops leaving more desirable tables for two for those who are further in line for reservations. Fair enough 😀
