The STAR on 4/7

[fmctravler]

Hi Any one else going on this cruise? Just read the discussion on Freestyle Dining. Is it hard to get 6 pm reservations at the specialty restaurants? Want to eath there on the first night. How best to go about getting an early reservation.

There are no reservations in the main dining rooms on NCL. Only at specialty rests.

Early reservations at the Specialty restaurants are often at half price. It's not difficult to reserve a table at them, but may be difficult to reserve a table at the Teppanyaki table, that doesn't sit many. You can use the phone in your cabin to make a reservation, make one at the atrium area, or at the restaurant.
Lately, NCL has changed its policy for reservations, being only able to book a table for that night and the following night, so the rush to reserve a table on the very first day is over. But now, the rush is every morning.
It's easy, the sooner you reserve a table, the more choices you'll have.

Is it true that the second night of the cruise is usually a special night in the Versailles dining room or lobster night? I would like to eat at either Le Bistro or Cagneys the first 2 nights.

I ams also concerned that as soon as we board the ship there will be 2000 people trying to get early reservations at the specialty restaurants.

The genral rule of thumb on NCL ships is that lobster night is one the first at sea day, usually the second night you are aboard.

I would certainly suggest reserving your table at a Specialty Restaurant as soon as you can for the first two nights.

There will still be a rush upon boarding the ship to reserve a tablethe first two nights. But the rush for reserving a table for the third night will be in the morning of the second day you are aboard the ship.
