@dog Thanks for the information.

Sorry, I hope I’m not the one that’s been confusing to anyone. I’m just trying to compile one list for everybody to look at that’s correct. And I appreciate your help.
For March on the sky, the Celio dining room your 530pm reservation -is that traditional or is that the reservable every 20 minute reservation dining room ?

also for March 2026 on the Enchanted in the Santorini dining room is your 5:20 PM for traditional or the reserve dining room which has 20 minute time-slots?

thanks so much

Sky Princess seems to be the only ship with conflicting information,but …. So who knows why.

@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.

@arizonaperson Its not you that is confusing matters it is Princess. Why are the TD times different between ships? Why can some people make a reservation in an MDR that for others shows as TD? Princess needs to sort this out,  i think some people may find their reservations cancelled without warning!

[hatchda]

Wouldn’t it have been great for Princess to have labeled each MDR and the category? It is astounding how inept Princess is with IT related rollouts. Labeling a Dining room as Traditional, Reservation or Anytime is such a simple task in this day and age. 
 

Princess needs to do a better job. I could do the update in my sleep.

TD times have always varied among ships.  I think of 7:30 as a place holder.  When I get on the ship, it might shift one way or the other.  The fact that some ships on the app are saying one thing and other ships something else is just typical Princess app screwiness.

Some have stated that they have a guarantee room and they were able to book as of today their dining room reservation. I have just compiled this list loosely from the posts under the dining threads of those that were able to book today.

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?

 

Crown Princess

International dining room is traditional at 5:20 PM and 7:50 pm

On the Grand DaVinci is listed but do you know if the Reserved dining would be in TD Michelangelo? Curious we sail in 103 days things change.

Thanks

[arizonaperson]

@latebloomer56 I don’t have DaVinci listed on The Grand, but I assume it is the walk in restaurant , just by deduction of what I have listed.

My guess would be all ships would hold reserve collection meals in traditional dining room,but no one that I have seen has posted this.

 

So yes,my guess on The Grand Princess is Michelangelo .

Time will tell for sure and if you have that type of cabin, I  would think that you would have something in your room that would tell you where “ your” DR is. But, since all this dining is new, who knows how it will actually play out.

 

no need to reserve any dining at all if you have reserve collection mini or full suite,except specialty restaurants.

Suggest you ask your Magic 8 Ball.  KayS is correct, book a time each night as a placeholder and sort it out once your are on board.  The booking parameters - private table only if choosing a time is nuts.

Am guessing things will be chaos the first night and get sorted over the next 2 nights as when we got caught in a trial late last year.

[cr8tiv1]

 

Reserve Collection is in the same location for Grand (Da Vinci) and Caribbean (Coral).  Both on Deck 6.  Both on Starboard side.

[arizonaperson]

@cr8tiv1 thanks for the information on Reserve collection dining location for Grand Princess and Caribbean Princess.

[lorri111]

Is anyone able to get access to full range of dining options for over a year out? We are on Crow Sept 25 and only had option of Traditional, not Reservable.

[arizonaperson]

New information for today.

Please keep updating as you are able to book your dining room reservations.

 

New  Princess dining and which dining rooms offers what

 

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. Some have reported that they’re not platinum or elite and it’s their first Princess cruise and they’re not paid in full ,but they were able to book dining room reservations .

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 ( former club class) will be wherever traditional is??, but no need to make a reservation for those. Check your cabin “ card”  that should be delivered.

Hopefully , others can just add to this list to keep everybody informed.

The reservable (Flexible is Princesses new term) a.k.a. dine my way starts at 5 PM and there are slots available every 20 minutes.

Regarding Caribbean Princess, earlier this week I made dining reservations for a Fall 2024 cruise.  Hope this helps you with your list:

Island Dining Room - able to book dinners at either 5 or 7:30 pm, so it's traditional

Palm Dining Room - able to book dinners starting at 5 pm  in 20 increments

Coral - consistently states "no time slots " available, so thinking this room is designated for the Reserve Dining guests (and may also take other walk--ins on a space available basis?)

Edited Friday at 04:49 PM by Thunderbird19

[arizonaperson]

@Thunderbird19 Thanks. Do you have any information for Caribbean Princess in the island dining room as far as shared or private tables? And the same for the palm dining room? 
So for instance, in the island dining room at 5 PM do you have a choice to do a shared table or a private table or both? and for the 730pm dining are you able to only do a private table?

and what about the Palm dining room? Is there a time cut off that you can only do private table?

 

No problem if you don’t have any of these answers, but that seems to be the case on some of the other ships.

 

 

[Thunderbird19]

Yes, both Island and Palm let you choose private or shared table after you choose your time slot.   I noticed today when I did a mock booking to try and change a time slot that only shared table appeared as an option for the new time, so all private tables must have already been booked at that time.

I was able to book Coral for a set time every night shortly after booking was available. I now see that dining room as unavailable and Palm available to book for set times. 
Not quite sure what that means for my reservations.

Perhaps you are at a higher level (or booked a suite or whatever gives those more elite benefits?) so you have access to Coral Dining Room?  You could always call Princess to verify your reservations to be sure, but if they are on your app I think you are fine.  .

was this before July 1st 2024?  If so the reservations were all reset and you will need to re-book

[coops14]

We are sailing on the Coral in April/May next year. For the first week we could book a private table for 4 at 5pm in Provence dining room, for the next cruise only sharing tables available at 5pm but private ones at 7.30. So we have booked the Bordeaux for 5pm for 4, private table for the following cruise

No, this was done on July 1 as soon as I saw times were available to book.

Maybe we're supposed to look at all this as Princess offering the widest possible options for dining? As in, the inconsistency is actually a feature rather than a bug? 😂🤔🤣

Thanks.
Just so I get this “right” you are on Majestic Princess in January 2026 and you are booked in the Symphony dining room for the reservable -every 20 minutes Reservations? This is not your first choice.
just out of curiosity what time do you have currently for a reservation and we’re  you able to get a shared table or a private table or what were the choices? I have very little information on the dining for the Majestic at the moment.
You really want traditional, but it’s not allowing you yet, do I have all this correct?

thank you so much for your time

We’re on the Majestic in February 2025 and I’ve booked 5:00 Traditional Dining at a private table for each night in the Symphony DR. The only other option in that DR was at 7:30, so Symphony is definitely Traditional for that cruise.
