familycruzer Posted November 8, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 8, 2023 If I have the two free meals at the specialty restaurants, can I book my reservations ahead of time or need to wait to board? Mine will be opening up soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare destar Posted November 8, 2023 #2 Share Posted November 8, 2023 You can book specialty restaurants at 120 days out. 125 days for platinum or higher. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKstages Posted November 8, 2023 #4 Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) yes. there is an asterisk about booking teppanyaki and moderno, but that likely doesn't apply here, as it sounds like you have just two "free at sea" dinners and no dinner coupons and will be making just two reservations. if that's the case, then, yes, they will be reservations made at no charge and no money will be due onboard.

Rare Anoynmous Phoenix Posted November 8, 2023 #5 Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) Unless you take upcharge dishes from the menu when on board. The system will know from your booking that you have the 2 free meals. Edited November 8, 2023 by Anoynmous Phoenix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisinmeme Posted November 8, 2023 #7 Share Posted November 8, 2023 If you wait to book on board you may not like the times remaining. We are early dinner people so i book at one minute after midnight (Miami time). Fortunately i am sapphire so at 125 days i can book and get the time i want.

No it won’t. Any charge is based on the person booking. If that person has dining credits then the system assumes that everyone does. I regularly used to book Teppanyaki for 3 or 4 people and never incurred a charge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonthewater Posted November 11, 2023 #17 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Our booking window opened today. First time NCL cruisers. There is 3 of us on the cruise and only 2 or 4 options coming up for booking. Does this mean I need to wait until I get on board or can I book a table for 4 but only 3 show up?

Are you booking Teppanyaki? If so, then maybe...if you're worried (which I wouldn't be), make the reservation for four now, then adjust when you get onboard to three.
