aviators99 Posted January 21, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 21, 2023 First time on Celebrity. I'm realizing late that on one of the nights I'd like to eat in the Tuscan Grill. It is too late to get the time I would want. The app only shows 9pm available. I'm just wondering if there is any potential for me to get in earlier, whether by waiting until I'm on the ship, or doing something in advance. I have a concierge cabin, so is this something I might use the concierge for? The answer that I'm likely S.O.L. is a fine answer, if that's the story.

miguelmia Posted January 21, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I'm a Celebrity newbie as well. From reading here, there should be more availability on embarkation day. You just need to go to the restaurant itself and inquire once onboard (and do it as soon as you can). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted January 21, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 21, 2023 They hold some spots for on board bookings and those that have purchased dining packages. So you may be able to get a reservation at an earlier time, just make it a priority when you get on board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PelicanLvr Posted January 21, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Jelyne above is correct. Go on embarkation day to Tuscan Grill and explain your needs. They will help you out if they can. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviators99 Posted January 21, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Thanks, will do. So don't even bother with the concierge? And do you think I should book the 9pm just in case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do you think I should book the 9pm just in case? You could do that and when onboard go to any of the stewards taking reservations who are usually around the Ocean View Cafe or the main dining room Maitre d' immediately on boarding and change it to a better time, if available.

And do you think I should book the 9pm just in case? Yes to both: 1. Don't bother with the concierge - The specialty restaurants handle their own reservations, so speak to them. You can speak to anyone "selling" specialty restaurant reservations (sometimes I have even seen them on the pier)-but that is likely a person only able to fill available spots. So, if that is unsuccessful, I do suggest you go to the restaurant you want to go to (Tuscan Grill) and speak to the Maitre d of that room. That person would be the final word on it. 2. Yes, book the 9pm just in case as long as you can "deal with" eating that late if you have to. As long as that is better than not being able to go at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfkcruiser Posted January 22, 2023 #8 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Go to the restaurant when on board and ask if they can accommodate you at a different time. Can always cancel if your time is not available. Not sure if Concierge can help you with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
