Princess Cruises rolls out fully flexible dining fleetwide
Princess Cruises is upgrading main dining options all across its fleet.
The changes are designed to give guests more flexibility and dining choice, offering three table service options – Traditional, Reservable, or Walk-in Anytime.
This is in addition to the OceanNow location-based ‘anywhere’ service.
Princess will designate separate dining rooms aboard every ship in the fleet to the three table service options.
One is dedicated to traditional dining room offerings with an early and a late seating every evening; one offering reservable dining times; and a third with open seating for walk-ins anytime.
The OceanNow service allows ship guests the convenience of ordering anything, anytime, and receiving it anywhere on the ship.
Princess is making all dining room formats available fleetwide following success of this new approach rolled out aboard the new Sun Princess.
Sun Princess debuted the three-story dining room with one floor dedicated to traditional dining, another serving guests with a flexible reservation and a third for anytime walk-ins.
“Our guests have been delighted with the dining flexibility aboard Sun Princess and we’re pleased to extend the concept to all the other ships,” said Sami Kohen, Princess Cruises vice president of food and beverage.
“Now whether guests prefer an early seating every evening, or change things, these flexible dining options ensure that their dining preference is accommodated.”
The new approach will launch on Princess voyages departing September 14, 2024 and beyond.
To support these changes main dining reservations that already have been made for voyages sailing September 14 and beyond will be cancelled.
Main dining reservations for guests sailing through September 13 will not be affected.
Starting June 17, booked guests will be able to use the app ahead of their voyage to opt for traditional seating in a dedicated dining room with the same waiter, same table and same time each night.
They can also go flexible, allowing them to enjoy dinner at any available time and table size of their choosing in either the Reservable or Open Seating dining rooms.
This change does not affect guests booked in specialty dining restaurants or suite or reserve collection accommodations.
