Newbie here....

I have a question on the reservations for dinner portion of the cruise website. I will be on Brilliance of the Seas in March 2015 and it gives you the option for making a reservation for the Chops Grille and states $30 per person. If I make that reservation now, do I get charged now or is that not charged til I have my onboard expense account?

Thanks so much! :)

Yes, you are charged when you make the reservation. You will need a credit card to make the reservation online before you board the ship.

Also, you are better asking cruise line specific question on the cruise line's forum, rather than in a general area such as this one.

Royal Caribbean charges you at the time a reservation for dinner or for an excursion is made.

Thank you so much for the info. :)

If you wait you may have trouble getting a table, personally I never have, but some report it happening to them. On the other hand if you have some OBC on board may be better.

Unless you have a very specific time/day you need, you can book onboard, and have it added to your shipboard account. They rarely have no vacancies.

Welcome to Cruise Critic.

We like to pre-book the specialty restaurants just to make certain that we get the day and time we want.

Should you change your mind once on the ship and decide to cancel your pre-booked dinner, you will get the refund back as shipboard credit on your account.
