HIA dining, how far out can you schedule?

[remarcm]

I am going to give HAL a try and have booked a cruise on Eurodam to AK next year. I see excursions are available to book but nothing for dining. How far in advance are they normally posted?

[CruiserBruce]

Typically 4 to 5 months.

Usually about 6 months out for me. Just was able to book speciality dining on May 1 for Rotterdam cruise on November 8 of this year.

We will be on Oosterdam in September and so far have been unable to book specialty dining.

I am on Konigsdam in November and was able to book the Pinnacle Grill today

Booking for HIA dining finally opened yesterday but the website is only letting me use 1 dining credit instead of the two that were part of our package.

1 credit is for shorter cruises. I don't know 2 credits. Do you have 2 short cruise paste (B2B) together? If so: The second is possible 6m before the second part of the cruise starts

Are you trying to make 2 reservations for the same restaurant? If so, that's the problem.

 

How many dining credits does it list on your online itinerary?

You only get one reservation for each restaurant with the HIA is why you can’t reserve two Pinnacle Grill. If you want to book additional reservations you can book and pay for them with your credit card.    Have fun!

You are correct sir. I just checked again and Canaleto is the only option available for using a dining credit. Thanks for the info..
