Randyk47 Posted March 6, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I think we could give you at least a guess if we had more information. Looking up a cruise by the cruise number you posted is hard. How about at least posting the ship and sailing date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawntrdr Posted March 6, 2023 #5 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I believe that MO230704010 means Moon (MO) 2023 (23) July 4 (0704) for ten days (010). That's a Reykjavik round trip. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a Reykjavik round trip. Yup, that does pin it down as you've stated. My guess for the first formal night will be on the second night in Isafjordur. The second one is anyones guess. Mine have just appeared about a month before my next sailing. If you look in my silversea on a PC, Click on activities of your booking, Find the display that has a week or so of dates and formal nights will be represented as a black bow tie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luv2Cruise1016 Posted March 6, 2023 #7 Share Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) If you go to My Silversea account under the booking, go to activities tab. You should see the daily calendar. There is a bowtie shown at the top of each day that has formal night. In our case day 4 and 7 on Norway cruise. Sorry Les, did not see your response before pressing send button.

Rare A Tucson Guy Posted March 6, 2023 #8 Share Posted March 6, 2023 On my last two cruises last year, the bow ties never showed up. I think it is a mixed bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t matter the day as such, but it does when paired with your other restaurant (and even excursions if it’s going to be a late night!) When an unscheduled set of formal nights get overlayed on your planned restaurants, it’s probable that the bookings you cancel to participate in the MDR / Atlantide, can’t be replaced. There is no excuse in my mind why this information isn’t available earlier. It never used to be a problem! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you never pre book any reservations? Each to their own. It never used to be a problem because the formal night details were published. That’s changed. On the 2 cruises I have in a couple of days and next month, both have just had formal night added which introduces clashes. We’d prefer to attend in Atlantic. Unfortunately the bookings in Kaiseki and Silver Note cannot be replaced on any other night because they are now fully booked every night for the whole cruise. So that late advise means we have a choice on which we’d prefer to miss. Yes I know we could attend formal night in those venues, just as we could in the grill of pizza place. We’d just rather not. Reservations for activities are there for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, the last time to make a reservation was before the current request system was out in place, pre-Muse. I assume that is what your question was referencing.

Not true, Les. Maybe for your voyages, but not for all voyages. In fact, for years before the current online system, they were never listed until one was on board. 8 minutes ago, les37b said: Reservations for activities are there for a reason. Of course.

Ive made reservations for dining on every voyage Ive been on. True on Silver Cloud and Wind, only La Terrazza and La Champagne / La Dame were bookable. Funnily on a voyage in 2016 I even posted my disappointment that 120 days out when reservations were open, that I missed out on being able to book La Champagne on our overnight in Monaco as it was shown as wait listed. In the end, it turned out it was because Manfredi had booked the venue to entertain Prince Albert and a few racing drivers. My South America voyage last year, formal nights were shown at the same time bookings were available 120 days out. The two coming up is the first time formal nights have not been shown, but just like always, restaurant reservations were open on 120 days to sailing. Ive no idea why your voyages didn’t have bookings available, but 100% of mine have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare bobolz Posted March 9, 2023 #17 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) I know I prefer to know ahead of time when the formal nights are because we don’t always participate, so not knowing when they will occur leaves us booking many nights in La Terraza to make sure we at least have an indoor venue to go to if they schedule a formal night that evening . I don’t like tying up reservation space at La Terraza , unnecessarily. I’m certainly not going to La Terraza every night and the Grill is only good when the outdoor temperatures are moderate or there is no inclement weather. I try to guess when the formal nights will be so I don’t have to book too many nights (2nd night and 2nd to last night or a sometimes a day at sea ) however, this upcoming cruise I guessed the wrong dates, but luckily was able to make the changes and add La Terraza on those formal nights and reschedule the other nights for silver note and the grill. in the end it worked out, but based on some of the earlier examples sometimes people are disappointed. I m in the camp of having the notice long before boarding , not after. Edited March 9, 2023 by bobolz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daveywavey70 Posted March 9, 2023 #21 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I’m starting to think I’m a bit strange because every MDR I’ve ever eaten in, on several cruise lines just takes me back to my Dining Hall at school. I Much prefer the smaller venues. We’ve only had dinner in Atlantide once (we’ve only cruised SS twice) and It was the only meal on SS that I’ve not been impressed with. We had lunch there too one day and that wasn’t my favourite either. I Sailed a different line last year and had 1 meal in the MDR. It was also the only meal of the entire 14nt cruise that I didn’t enjoy. It’s not, I believe, my lack of enthusiasm clouding my judgement, the limousin steak in Atlantide could safely have doubled up to patch any hull damage inflicted by a passing iceberg even after they’d rendered enough fat from it to buy the ship an extra couple of miles in an emergency. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example if Formal night, you need a tie in Atlantide but just a jacket (ie informal) in S.A.L.T. On informal nights, Atlantide was informal & SALT was casual. This was on the Dawn in Jan this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
