Rare JimmyVWine Posted July 3 #51 Share Posted July 3 1 hour ago, Glad Bailey said: There is confusion on Sky at the moment. I am not going until 2026,but as elite can book dining now. Soleil is available for booking at 20 minute intervals,but not able to book anything for other two dining rooms. Have to wait until the contradictions are sorted out This was my experience as well. The only MDR available for booking for my 2026 cruise is Soleil and it is "Anytime Reservations" with times available throughout the evening and not just an early and a late. So I grabbed a good time and will change if necessary later on. I was also able to book Specialty Dining but I may have been charged for it, even though I checked the "Premier Included" box. The last stage of the reservation process showed a fee and my credit card number. I will have to check by statement to see if I was charged or not.

arizonaperson Posted July 3 Author #52 Share Posted July 3 New information added. Some have stated that they have a guarantee room and they were able to book as of 7-1-2024 -their dining room reservation. Also have seen posts that passengers don’t have their cruise paid in full & they were able to book dining. I have just compiled this list loosely from the posts under the dining threads of those that were able to book recently , so not set in stone on accuracy. I would think reserve collection dining room will be where ever traditional is, but no need to make a reservation for those. Hopefully , others can just add to this list to keep everybody informed. The reservable a.k.a. dine my way starts at 5 PM and there are slots available every 20 minutes. Traditional dining seems to be 5 PM and 7:30 PM with a few variations. Open seating AKA walk-in is just that. Caribbean Princess Island dining room is traditional 5 PM and 7:30 PM Coral dining room is walk-in? And Palm Is reservable?

I was able to book for a July 2025 TA cruise. Still can't book Royal for a Sept 28 cruise (traditional dining.) I was also able to book Symphony on the Majestic for next July. We chose 7:30 for all the nights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Hag Posted July 3 #54 Share Posted July 3 17 hours ago, Astro Flyer said: This is what Princess stated in their 6/18/24 email however how it’ll be applied is unknown…sometimes Princess lacks standardized fleetwide. “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”. This is an aspect of the new system that I'm curious about. In the past, I was always told that a table for two was a request rather than set in stone. Sometimes we got that request, sometimes not. I booked the two of us for a private table in TD for February. Do we suppose that private table is still just a request or do we suppose it's now locked in? Inquiring minds want to know.

I’d also like to know the answer & if it’s standardized fleetwide. In my experience we have always had our requested table for 2. It might be like a cabin assignment which they have the right to change, same thing with airline seat reservations…neither are guaranteed but in my experience have never been changed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
californiagirl Posted July 3 #56 Share Posted July 3 19 hours ago, AZaTaz said: On Enchanted the TD room seams to be set up as true traditional dining. If you select either the 5 or 7:30 time your whole cruise is populated with it and if you try to then book in Reservation room it says double booked and errors out. I had to cancel traditional then it let me book in Reservation room. This was not my experience on Enchanted. I was able to book traditional day by day either 5 or 7:30 or a different dining room and time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
californiagirl Posted July 3 #57 Share Posted July 3 I’ve looked through this thread (and part of the other big thread) and I don’t see the answer. We are taking our kids and grandkids on Enchanted next June. We are a party of 10. My husband and I are in a reserve cabin. I was not able to book dining under our booking because of being reserve I think. I was able to make reservations under our son’s family booking and add the others except for us. Our bookings are linked and when making the reservations I tapped edit number of people and the other family members were visible with a check box to add. We were not listed. When I tried to add us via booking number it wouldn’t accept our number. Short of contacting our PVP has anyone had success in adding people in a reserve cabin to a reservation? I realize we can go anytime to the reserve dining room but we want to eat with our family. The reason for the reserve cabin is because we have one of the forward facing mini-suites with the gigantic balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisemeister2002 Posted July 4 #61 Share Posted July 4 Just accessed Princess App and assuming correct for fixed dining have booked a shared table for 19.30 in the Soleil restaurant every night with the exception of nights where excursions or other dining arrangements apply. It appears that shared aren't available after 19.30. I was under the impression that 19.50 was the set 2nd sitting for fixed time dining but it appears not although up until 19.30 20 minute intervals are available. I'm confused.

Ive booked some of them Soleil as I am lead to believe is Traditional plus 20 minute time slots. But on accessing the App there's no mention of Traditional which again I believed to be 17,30 and 19.50. But the only option for a shared table is from 17.30 up to 19.30 . Booked using the 20 minute time slots. Anything after 19.30 appears to be Private tables only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is certainly not the case for April next year. Soleil only has the two traditional time slots and nothing else. Cielo has the 20 minute apart times. Most people on here have some familiarity with Princess and dining arrangements. I feel for new cruisers who have to work through this mess. An email to each booked passenger explaining what dining rooms are doing what and times are available would be helpful but that is good customer service. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boku Posted July 4 #69 Share Posted July 4 (edited) This is all a bit confusing but I can only guess that Princess Cruises have decided to change the dining allocation of MDR’s as well as the TD dining times on a per cruise basis.

A Company that get's things sorted. Let's the customer know exactly what they need to do to get the service they require. Do they exist ? We know just as motor manufacturers show a handsome young man driving his new car with a drop dead gorgeous female sitting beside him driving along roads with no other cars in sight only exist in fantasy.

arizonaperson Posted July 4 Author #71 Share Posted July 4 @Boku I am trying for it not to be confusing. That’s why I’ve listed it ship by ship and what other passengers are actually booking and all the pertinent information all in one spot. I am sure there will be changes as all of this new dining comes into play and goes along, but at least this is a start. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
