that is why I was asking them to try it

Selecting "Main" just brings up the "No Reservations Necessary" message. If "Specialty" is selected you may choose between restaurants and then add people to the reservation.

Thank you to everyone who helped find an answer to this little frustration. The best solution for us is to do what Steelers36 suggested.

Have your children make the group dining reservation.

Is there a reason you booked a reserve mini suite or a full suite that doesn’t involve the reserve dining

Tradition. We loved the balcony and wanted to be there once again. We enjoyed it so much we're dragging the kids and the #1 Grandkid along. How often do you get the chance to share something as nice as MDR with those you love?

The problem is that the reservations are made on the APP and since we have Reserve Dining the APP sez "You have Reserve, You don't need any stinkin reservations". (I may have mis-quoted).

I have called Princess and their representative had no answer.

That would be Princess... Kind of feels like the DMV

But then again I never wrote in belgian waffles lightly toasted with clotted cream and organic field wild strawberries only.

Durring the restart when the Majestic Princess was only half full, we wrote in French Toast and "Crispy Bacon". It was perfection! 

So, How do we get half of the passengers to stay home?

Hello Everyone,

Maybe this has already been answered in the preceeding 109 pages...

We are a family of 7 that wishes to dine together. We have a "Reserve" dining, but kids and grandkids have standard. How do we select a traditional style time together? 

Thank you,

The Regal Princess is also in Costa Maya on New Years Day. Princess has all the normal excursions listed.

This year we're going to the Mayan Chacchoben ruins. Last year we had fun with the ATV excursion. Maya Chen is the only beach club worth your time.. as far as I know.

This is the perfect cabin for perfect conditions. Our sea day between Grand Cayman and Belieze enjoyed calm water and a pleasant following breeze. The oak table and chairs were retired and replaced with the standard aluminium near the end of our cruise.

Wow! We went on the ATV excursion in Costa Maya. There was nothing physically challenging about the ride. We had fun.

I wasn't on that cruise, but just throwing out a name here:  was it Naathan Phan?  Korean guy with a Scottish accent?

Not to be missed. Naathan Phan

We just saw him on the Regal Princess. Did an amazing show right through audio-technical difficulties. First a piercing high pitched alarm and then no PA. He joked about doing shakespear in the park and performed so everyone in the theater could hear him.

The uncomfortably awkward seating in the Vista needs to go.

the party/house band would be Mute Out Loud

NYE! Mute Out Loud proved to be a great dance band.

He was an extremely talented rock guitar player though

His performancewould have been worlds better if they had a real backing band.

It's 7 nights and 3 ports.

The captain doesn't just cancel

The Cayman port was closed and the tenders would not come out to the ship. The conditions didn't look that bad at the time, but we have to trust them to do the safe thing.

We had a scooter reserved and we were really looking forward to exploring the secluded beaches. Saving this adventure for the future.

reserve dining on the Regal

The reserve dining is the part of our upcomming New Years cruise that I am most looking forward to. This is our first try with the reserve, (Club Class), and we hope the dining experience is a return to the way dining used to be. Sailing on the Regal Dec. 27, 2023

These great screenshots were pulled from this video:

Looks like it is mostly used by Carnival. It also appears that the construction isn't stopping any cruises.
