Rare JordanF Posted April 17 #52 Share Posted April 17 We have cruise booked for 2026, and had already booked MDR reservations for all nights. On Sunday I received an email notifying me that these reservations would be cancelled, and that I could make new ones starting today (April 17). However, all of my old reservations are still there. Will that continue to be the case? Stay tuned! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our old reservation is also still listed despite them saying they cancelled them. I wouldn’t be concerned about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've go that right. It's just inconsiderate to force the staff after working long hours to accommodate people eating arriving at the last minute to have to work even longer. They'll never say anything directly to you but I can only imagine what they must be thinking. 🤔 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dining staff running all over the dining room frantically. Pushed out in 30 minutes will never eat there again will forgo reserve class and just eat in Botticelli Gosh, I hope this is an anomaly rather than the standard. I'm going to dinner in a restaurant, I don't expect it to be a 30 minute rushed affair. It's meant to be a relaxed, enjoyable experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't that way on our recent Enchanted cruise in the MDR (Amalfi). Our waitstaff was very accommodating and friendly. We wouldn't have put up with any of that. We would have stopped the servers immediately and then complained (yes complained!) to the MD or one of the Head Waiters. We eat at our own pace. Not others. Another reason we select a two top. Five courses and a couple rounds of wine each night. Then we would have mentioned it on our PCS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent many a year working in restaurants and it was assumed that clearing and doing side work after close was expected. Harassing diners to order an hour or so before closing is abuse of customers and will create less tips believe me. We went to Botticelli dining at an hour before closing and were treated wonderfully. It is the Manager in Reserve Class that is the problem. As we used to say “The fish stinks from the head” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the published hours for the various dining rooms on the Sun. Why the Sun. The post I quoted was about the Ruby? I have no idea what the MDR published hours were for the three MDRs on the Enchanted. We had 6:PM reservations every night for DMW. Same table. That was all I needed to know. Sometimes we'd show up a little earlier, but never later than 6:PM. When we left between 7 and 7:15 PM there was always a long line that filled the entrance and extentened up the staircase.

Please pay attention to earlier posts I did not ask about the Ruby, I was asking about the Sun, if you read my post. Which is theone ship already operating under the new rules. The other part of my question was what time the non rushed person was eating compared to the one with the rushed experience.
