Coastal Kitchen question....

[CruiserDoc]

We will be sailing in a Grand 1-Bedroom Suite on the Allure and therefore have access to Coastal Kitchen as one of the dining alternatives. Are we able to invite a couple who are traveling with us, but not in a suite, to dine with us? Does Royal Caribbean allow us to include them in a reservation?

Talk with the CK host/hostess once you are onboard.  Each cruise is different, they may have some guidelines for you.

 

Guests are generally not allowed for breakfast or lunch, but dinner is a different story.

During our 10-21-18 Allure cruise this was not allowed for dinner.

That really makes no sense.  Plenty of room at lunch.  Much more crowded at dinner.

They didn't allow guests for dinner on the 10/28 sailing of the Allure either. The people we talked to who were allowed to eat in the Coastal Kitchen just ate with their  non suite friends in the MDR a couple of times. Didn't think twice about it.

It may not make sense, but those are the guidelines they gave us when we traveled with guests who normally would not have had access to CK.

Understand,  I think the days of guests at dinner are long gone.  They could allow lunch guests with not much impact to service.  Might be a good marketing idea

By policy no they can't, but like other's have suggested it never hurts to ask.  Just understand that if the answer is 'no' then that is the final answer with no recourse to appeal or expectation that they should have been allowed to dine in CK with you.  

 

A late dinner, like 8pm might yield more success simply because like any restaurant they are busiest during prime dinner hours and less likely be able to bend the rules during prime time.  Off peak and if they are empty they might allow it.
