Rare cr8tiv1 Posted June 18 #4 Share Posted June 18 1. I don't use X 2, Update website???? ha ha 3. I win ! I called it ! Not happening 6/17/2024 I don't understand how they can set a projection date and then fall short. Wouldn't it be less frustrating if they set the date out further and then surprise everyone with an earlier happening? aka sheldon copper. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCX22 Posted June 18 #5 Share Posted June 18 (edited) This wasn't even a post on Princess' main X page. It was a reply to someone's complaint. #Oops #Fail Given Princess' track record during major transitions, I'm not surprised.

It depends...I believe if you are Elite (or Platinum?) you can book before final payment....usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s all just sit back and relax and see what date it really is! That’s all we can do, right? 🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what the website says, unless you’re Platinum or Elite. Some have reported being able to reserve before FP. Some have not been able. So, once it’s available, now July 1st (what a joke), try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PR-Texas Posted June 18 #10 Share Posted June 18 It's fun to watch. Sorry for the challenges it's causing some folks. Really sounds to me like management made a decision without adequate discussion with IT to be sure the deadline could be met. That happens all the time and not just to Princess. We won't be FP until early August so not a worry for us until then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in the same boat (ship). My cruise is before September 1. I can't book any Specialty Restaurants for any date/time (Complimentary/Paid/nor Premier). There is no need to make reservations for RC MDR. I am confused, though. This shouldn't apply to my cruise since it isn't in the time frame. What am I missing? Am I worried? No....I will make my dinner reservation when I embark. Been there, done that. Going through the hoops just for fun. I have tooooo much time on my hands.

Rare azbirdmom Posted June 19 #15 Share Posted June 19 Full text of email: Dear Valued Princess Guest: We wanted to inform you of a change regarding our main dining reservations. Due to an unanticipated delay in finalizing our app update, the ability to book reservations has been delayed. The new date for reservations is now set for July 1. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding and patience. As previously announced, starting with voyages departing September 14, 2024, Princess will designate separate dining rooms aboard every ship in the fleet to three table service options: · Traditional dining offering an early and a late seating every evening · Reservable dining times · Open seating to support walk-ins anytime Once updates are complete, you will be able to use the app ahead of your voyage to opt for traditional seating in a dedicated dining room with the same waiter, same table and same time each night, or flexible dining, allowing you to enjoy dinner at any available time and table size of your choosing in either the Reservable or Open Seating dining rooms. Thank you for your continued support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they made the change but they only removed the MDR dining and not the specialty dining...that's still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not need to book MDR since I will be dining in Reserve Collection MDR. Yes, I would love to be able to book a traditional dining time in Reserve Collection, but do see the benefits of any time walk in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arizona Wildcat Posted June 19 #19 Share Posted June 19 Did the email say 2024? Figured out there are millions of reservations involved. Expect the system to crash unless they roll it out month by month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new dining system has nothing to do with specialty dining, only MDR and you will need to choose traditional or Anytime which won't apply to you as you have reserve.

Seafan22 Posted June 19 #21 Share Posted June 19 Instead of the X Post saying, "Stay tuned for further updates!" It may have been safer to say "Stay tuned for further delays!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLAlaska Posted June 19 #22 Share Posted June 19 I also see a lot of confusion. Is this pick Anytime or Traditional which is how it used to be? Ive read people planning to mix and match which I dont see how that can work. I am assuming (never a good idea) that you will have to choose one or the other first.

msmoger Posted June 19 #23 Share Posted June 19 Here's another wrinkle. I currently have 3 cruises booked. I also received the email. It had a Booking # at the top which was different than all of my current bookings. Go figure. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzinnana47 Posted June 19 #24 Share Posted June 19 Our Sun Princess cruise is booked for Dec. 7th. We have not made final payment at this point. I found this past week that I could reserve the new Spellbound (at $149pp), but not O'Malley's Irish Pub, which we should be able to book at $14.99 (actually thought as Platinum, this would count as one of our 2 included casual choices). Hmmm....isn't that funny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
