Are We Hungry yet?

Royal Caribbean International instituted Daily Reservations, an online system for clients enrolled in "My Time Dining.:"

You can make nightly reservations in the main dining room and include other guests at your table.

Tables for two to 10 are offered.

Guests can access, request and review their Daily Reservations in advance of sailing through the Pre-Cruise Planner or Cruise Enhancements section of RoyalCaribbean.com.

Daily Reservations are currently available for Oasis of the Seas and will be deployed on all their ship throughout the spring.

Princess Cruises Leads the Way - ONCE AGAIN!

Reviving a tradition that vanished years ago with the onset of tighter security procedures, Princess Cruises is debuting a program to give passengers the opportunity to invite their friends and family aboard ship on embarkation day.

Princess is packaging a ‘Bon Voyage Experience,’ complete with lunch in the dining room and a ship tour, for $39 per person. The price can be applied to a future cruise.

Clients can extend an invitation to their guests to join them on board during sailing day for a four-course dining room lunch with wine, a ship tour and a souvenir photo. Participants get priority embarkation and will be able to spend approximately four hours together on the ship prior to sailing.

The number of guests who will be able to participate in the ‘Bon Voyage Experience’ on any given embarkation day will be approximately 50.
