Do I Pre-Book LeBistro with Platinum Perk?

[2boyzmom]

This is our first platinum member cruise and not sure if I can pre-book our LeBistro dinners. Can I book them online then receive a credit?

That is what I did.

Yes , but I would not. Its not necessary. And Any time you can avoid a "credit" situation on board. Do . ;)

I wouldn't either. One can just as well make the reservation onboard without any need for refunds.

You can book Le Bistro anytime on the ship, its never fully booked. ;)

I have always waited until I got on board and never had a problem booking.

Another vote for waiting.

Never say never !!!! Le Bistro was booked solid on the Getaway for the entire cruise the first week out of Miami.

I pre booked dinner in LeBistro for our upcoming cruise. Did so because last time it was very very full except for late service. It was also a pain to try to actually get a reservation as the line was busy all the time. Didn't want the hassle or frustration of trying to call, not have a good time slot etc.

 

Up to you, but I like being able to pre book.

If you pre-book, your credit card is charged. With platinum, it is free. Book at guest services. It may be tough to reserve the last night but never on port days or early in cruise.

Will you be in a suite? If so, I would wait til on board.

It doesn't matter if one will be in a suite or not, only a fraction (about a third - tops) of tables is available for pre-bookings so there is no way that all prime time slot would be gone if they do the booking on embarkation day.

We always book on the ship as I wouldn't want to have the refund issue. No problem. We booked ahead of time on the ship but other platinum friends booked the day they wanted to go after checking the menus at the dining room and for activities they wanted to do. We were on the back to back and on the second cruise (just completed), we adopted their method and it worked just fine. Only time I saw most restaurants completely booked was on Valentine's Day. Teppanyaki is an exception, always fills up, but not Le Bistro and the others. In fact, Ginza was so empty I wondered how they justify its space.

Thanks everyone. We will wait and book while onboard.

Ah, but if in a suite you really don't have to worry about it on embarkation day.
