Call it food flexibility on the water.
Princess
Cruises announced it is enhancing the main dining options across its fleet, designed to give guests flexibility and choice regarding their dining experience by offering three table service options: Traditional, Reservable, or Walk-in Anytime.
Throw
in the traditional room service, and you can eat whenever and wherever you
want.
Princess will designate separate dining rooms aboard every ship in the fleet for the three table service options—one dedicated to traditional dining, offering early and late seating every evening; one offering reservable dining times; and a third with open seating to support walk-ins anytime.
Making all dining formats available fleetwide
follows the success of this new approach already implemented aboard the new Sun
Princess. With the introduction of the new next-level Love Boat came the debut of a three-story dining room with one floor dedicated to traditional dining, another serving guests with flexible reservations 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 in our fleet," said Sami Kohen,
Princess Cruises vice president of food and beverage. "Now whether
guests prefer an early seating every evening, or change things up every night,
or even change their mind, these flexible dining options ensure that their
dining preference is effortlessly accommodated."
The new approach will launch on Princess voyages
departing September 14. To support these changes and the transition
to the new system, main dining reservations that already have been made for
voyages sailing September 14 and beyond for any ship
except Sun Princess will be canceled. 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, or flexible dining, 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, suites or reserve collection accommodations.
Reservable and Walk-in Anytime Dining will be
combined into a single Main Dining Room location aboard Coral Princess and
Island Princess.
