Dining packages

Just booked my first cruise for July and looking forward to it. Does anyone know if you can book a dining package for the speciality restaurants before you embark?

Thanks

Don't think so.

No not yet. The ability to pre-book such things as dining packages and shore excursions is on our wish-list as well.

You can pre-book shore excursions -- I have done so for our 2016 Norway Fjords cruise! It would be nice if you could pre-book them without paying upfront, but I know this is RCL corporate policy. I have OBC to use, and thanks to the mostly-all-inclusive onboard amenities it would be great to be able to use it on shore excursions. [Or do you mean shore excursion packages? Yes, that would be a nice choice.]

Oops, you're right!

Pay for your excursions up front to be sure you get the ones you want. Once onboard you can cancel them and then rebook using your OBC. Of course, that is provided your desired shore excursions is not sold out.

If you book now you have to pay by credit card I believe.

Do the book the money then (quickly) back on you card?

We also have OBC and like to use that for excursions (and I think a lot for internet:rolleyes:)

You cannot book until the day you board. We booked for 3 nights on a 7 day cruise when we got on. The specialty restaurants are great, but the other restaurant is also fabulous, not buffet, fine dining.
