emmak8 Posted June 19 #103 Share Posted June 19 I have not received the notice. I will be embarking September 14. This is another reason why I always check cruise critic ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisemeister2002 Posted June 19 #104 Share Posted June 19 Been on App several times and it seems Speciality dining is available to book but when going to MDR's it is saying not available to book. Seems odd as the 17th was supposed to have been the date when availability and which restaurants were available for the three different types of dining would be available. Added to this around six weeks ago we were informed that two of our ports of call were being removed due to access to the ports and that two other ports were being added namely Brest and Cherbourg in France. There were excursions available for the original ports, one of which we booked an excursion. Since the removal and introduction of the new ports on Princess website the new ports haven't added any excursions to either of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enter the number of the cruise you want, your name and birthday and it'll bring you to that cruise. I just did it this morning. That is not working, logging in with the reservation information does bring up that cruise but as soon as I click on the link to the web version to book dining reservations it always goes back to the earliest one.

Z0nker Posted June 19 #108 Share Posted June 19 8 hours ago, MyriamS said: Once again, the message does not mention whether you need to have made final payment to choose your dining style. I now you have to currently, to make any kind of dining reservations, but nothing about what the new system will be like. Due to German law, our final payment date is 30 days before the cruise instead of 90 days, so I'd like to know if I need to pay two months in advance just to choose an early sitting in the MDR (I'm not interested in booking any speciality dining). We’ve always been able to book dining before final payment. We had dining reservations in March for a November cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjack22 Posted June 19 #109 Share Posted June 19 I have been able to book dining before final payment as well with my last two cruises.. I am Ruby. I don't know if that will still be the case or not. Time will tell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanoPair Posted June 19 #110 Share Posted June 19 Once it opens for MDR reservations on July 1st(???) you should be able to make MDR reservations if you are paid in full or Platinum or Elite. If you are not I would try anyway after it opens up, We booked ours normally 2 years out before the change took place. In fact, when the change was made in April our 2025 & 2026 MDR reservations were cancelled, so we are just waiting to book them again. You should be able to book Specialty Dining anytime. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLAlaska Posted June 19 #111 Share Posted June 19 Even without paying in full, shouldn't you , at least, be able to choose and decide if you want Anytime or Traditional? I can't see that you would be able to mix and match. In 'the old days" you always chose one when making your reservation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MyriamS Posted June 19 #112 Share Posted June 19 I was also able to make dining reservations for my September 2024 cruise way before final payment but that was clearly a bug, not a feature, of the app. These reservations were then cancelled when they announced the new dining system. 1 hour ago, FLAlaska said: Even without paying in full, shouldn't you , at least, be able to choose and decide if you want Anytime or Traditional? I can't see that you would be able to mix and match. In 'the old days" you always chose one when making your reservation. This is essentially what I'm hoping for, to get to pick between Early, Late and Anytime dining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdacombe Posted June 19 #113 Share Posted June 19 Had an email from Princess this today saying that reservations will be available from 1st July, although not sure if they stated which year 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCX22 Posted June 19 #114 Share Posted June 19 Princess should go back to the old way of having you, your CVP, or TA select your dining preference upon booking the cruise. Choose between Early, Late, and Anytime. If you choose Early or Late you shouldn't have access to MDR reservations on the App. Only those with anytime dining should be able to access MDR reservations on the App. Not sure why Princess decided that each individual would have the ability to manage their dining preference on the App with this transition. It should just be a matter of re-activating this function on Polar and getting the App to follow. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z0nker Posted June 24 #118 Share Posted June 24 This just in. Another big IT scramble to change how pricing is presented coincident with the dining reservations delayed rollout. Hopefully different teams working on each project. Having seen The Money Pit I’m suspicious of two week delays like the dining reservations push out.

A) dining reservations are up by close of business July 1 B) reservations are working by the end of the week (July 5) C) Princess pushes it out another two weeks to July 15. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
