cbb Posted July 3, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I can't remember....are the speciality restaurants open the first evening on the R ships? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulchili Posted July 3, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 3, 2015 They are definitely opened on the O ships - I am not sure why they would not be open on R ships. Perhaps somebody currently on an R ship cruise can confirm this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted July 3, 2015 #3 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I am pretty sure they are We have the Maitre'd come down the line for the GDR offering seats upstairs on the 1st night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harbormaster Posted July 3, 2015 #4 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Yes, they were on Regatta in Alaska two weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mura Posted July 3, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Our experience is that departure night is a good time to book a specialty restaurant, on whatever ship. That's not necessarily also true but it has been for us on a dozen cruises on the "R" and "O" ships. Mura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ronrick1943 Posted July 3, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Like everyone else yes they are open, and not so busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbb Posted July 4, 2015 Author #7 Share Posted July 4, 2015 thanks everyone....excellent news. Mr Wonderful has a birthday our first day on board and likes Polo so hopefully reservations won't be a problem! thanks again! c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mura Posted July 4, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Have you tried booking online? That's safest, especially if you want a table for 2. (Book an early table if so, although on boarding day that might not be a problem.) Otherwise, try to book once you are on board. I didn't notice if you indicated when you are sailing ...

cbb Posted July 4, 2015 Author #9 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Mura, We can't book online yet; we're on the 2016 Around the World Jan 4-July1. I may drop a note to our TA and see if he can do this for us since reservations don't open until November--I don't know the date, perhaps Nov 4? I really don't care about other dates since we will have plenty of opportunities in those 180 days! thanks everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mura Posted July 4, 2015 #10 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Clearly plenty of time, but as others have said -- it would be very unusual for the first night to be booked before you have a chance. If you want a table for 2 at the busiest time of the evening, that might be more difficult ... I realize it's a special night for you and you want to be SURE.
