Debowah Posted July 8 #1 Share Posted July 8 I did a search, but found nothing regarding this particular question. Does Celebrity offer any promotions to encourage dining at the specialty restaurants on embarkation day? I have heard of other cruise lines offering half price bottles of wine or other enticements on the 1st day of the cruise, was wondering if Celebrity did anything similar. Thank you for your kind input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaveitallbehind Posted July 8 #2 Share Posted July 8 (edited) Other than with the planner pre cruise dining packages sales, the only restaurant that IMO would be likely to do this my be Tuscan, as they frequently offer specials during the week on board. When this is done it is typically for a discount on the specialty restaurant fee. I don't know that as a rule this is always done, however.

jelayne Posted July 8 #3 Share Posted July 8 They offer 30% off the 1st night on the M and S class ships for some restaurants. These are offered in the Cruise Planner pre and book up quickly. I don’t recall seeing the same offer on the E class ships, but may have just missed it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lola2013 Posted July 9 #4 Share Posted July 9 I have taken advantage of 30% off first night at LCG and RGG on E class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisetonowhere10 Posted July 9 #5 Share Posted July 9 I feel like someone mentioned Raw on 5 discounts on embarkation day but maybe for lunch? Unfortunately, I did not retain those details. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare keesar Posted July 9 #7 Share Posted July 9 We have had such discounts regularly on S class ships. However, on E class, it depends on the laws of supply and demand. There were no such discounts on the Ascent but a 30% discount for the first night was available on the Beyond. Check out Dining in your Cruise Planner and book early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Stem to Stern Posted July 9 #8 Share Posted July 9 I am now wondering if it has been retired. It used to be pretty common to find the Day 1 30% discount available to reserve specialty dining in the cruise planner. I have not noticed this availability recently, so I just checked my 6 bookings and none of them offer the first night discount. Also, both of my 2026 bookings only offer the three new “cooking” classes under dining, but no specialty restaurants. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccqueenanne Posted July 9 #9 Share Posted July 9 On Edge to Alaska there were no 30% discounts offered ahead of time in the planner. However, once aboard, staff were stationed outside the buffet offering discounts for that night. I asked about Roof Top Grill, they offered a discount, but it wasn't much. I walked away, they called me back with a lower price, I countered with $30 inclusive of tax/tip and they took it. My mistake - dinner was miserably cold and windy. Had that not been the case, I'd have been happy with the deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not planning on it but hoping for lunch at Raw on 5 when we embark and I’d love a discount. 😂 Going to do it regardless, but if we got a discount we could potentially do another… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted July 9 #11 Share Posted July 9 I'm doing a side-to-side in November. 5 nights on Reflection then 6 nights on Beyond. I just checked my planner for both sailings and all I see are 5% discounts available for pre-purchase and doesn't appear to be for all the specialty dining although I confess I'm not 100% sure of all the specialty restaurants. I haven't done a whole lot of homework, yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Milhouse Posted July 9 #13 Share Posted July 9 We've had a similar experiences as above during during our last couple of cruises. We did see discounted first night in specialty dining on Solstice on our cruise's planning page on the X website but it was fully booked fairly quickly. However, when we popped into Murano after grabbing lunch on embarkation day, the maitre' d indicated they could get us a table for that night in Murano and TG at 30% off. I'm assuming they initially held back some tables from online booking for status and suite guests. And it was a similar story for TG during our cruise on Connie. However, during our upcoming cruise on Silhouette, I don't see a significant discount for night one on the planning page; only the typical 5% discount for booking pre-cruise. By my count though, this sailing seems to be over 95% full. So there's likely a bit of supply/demand going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all, but some of the S class ships have that option. We ate there recently on Silhouette. I believe it’s also on Reflection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darsura Posted July 10 #16 Share Posted July 10 I do have a first night discount for the Tuscan Grill which I purchased a few months ago for my September cruise on Eclipse. It was only a 10% discount though, and it is no longer showing as available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted July 10 #17 Share Posted July 10 I just checked Silhouette for November 16 TA. The Only first night discounts shown is Lawn Club but the same 5% off as any other night. Currently they are only offering 5% for any night for pre-booking. Prices look to have increased and Murano is currently $60, Lawn Club $50, LPC $50, Tuscan $55 (Un-discounted).
