BrocktonCruiser Posted June 3, 2021 Author #3 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Yes, I have looked there. I made final payment today and was able to book my allotted reservations for the specialty restaurants. however, the La Reserve section has no offerings visible.

Rare pinotlover Posted June 4, 2021 #6 Share Posted June 4, 2021 They are typically available for booking 90-120 days out. You’re obviously in a top suite to be able to book Specialties already for a November cruise. Watch the website as August comes around and you should find bookings available.

BrocktonCruiser Posted June 4, 2021 Author #7 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Thanks so much! You are right, we are in a Vista Suite ( making up for my 60th birthday cruise that got cancelled just as COVID was beginning, and 1 other cancelled cruise as it intensified) So, I was able to book dining very early. I will keep an eye out for the La Reserve a bit further down the line. Thanks for your input. This will only be our 2nd time on Oceania and first time on larger ship, so some offerings are new to us.

Clutj Posted June 4, 2021 #8 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Sounds like you are already committed, but we would add that we found the La Reserve dinners to be truly excellent, and worth the extra fee, for each of the several cruises we have taken on Riviera. We just got on that Nov 17 crossing, so maybe we will see you in La R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrocktonCruiser Posted June 4, 2021 Author #9 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Thanks! We are planning to do the French Dinner, if available. The menu sounded most appealing to us. Hope to see you onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwindham Posted June 4, 2021 #10 Share Posted June 4, 2021 We are on the December 3 cruise on Riviera and I have called twice about La Reserve as we love it. I was told both times that they will open up 90 days before sailing. But I keep looking 🙂 Julia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare pinotlover Posted June 4, 2021 #12 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Speaking of La Reserve: 1. The Wonderful Dom Perignon dinner was a collaboration with the Dom people on several fronts. Will they continue? Having them required having a certified Sommelier on board. 2. Since the dinners are wine pairing dinners, will Oceania come out with new menus to pair with the new wines available on the market? It’ll be fun to see what is offered when bookings open up.

Rare cruisingxpert Posted June 4, 2021 #13 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I wonder if the Dom Perignon dinner will continue. There were only 10 people at the one I went to. Quite a few of the dishes were from the old Connoisseur menu. Even though I love Champagne, I would prefer a new version of the Connoisseur menu to come back. La Cuisine Bourgeoise is good but I found the portions a bit too large. I really like their new program of Tapas and wine flights on nights that La Reserve isn't on, but you really have to watch Currents to find it. I hope they will advertise it more. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Jan but I think you may be confusing specialty dining reservations with La Reserve. Specialty Dining is booked according to category of cabin- Balcony is 60 days out and people are online at 12:01 am EST on their day to book. West Coast is lucky because midnight in the east is 9pm to them. La Reserve are extra fee wine and food pairings and they are available to book when Oceania loads the dates and menu onto their site. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just on the phone with Oceania trying to hunt down my shareholder credit. The recording playing while I was waiting talked about LaReserve so I talked to the agent about it when he came back on the line. He said 90 days out for LaReserve and sometimes even less. I hope it works the way you explained it. I’d love to start getting things reserved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t been able to book Privee on line for a few years also. My TA took care of that also. Seems getting a reservation there is getting a bit political.

Do you think it's because the Captain and other top officers use Privee to entertain passengers.
