New Options Follow Successful Debut Aboard New
Sun Princess
FORT
LAUDERDALE, Fla., April 13,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Princess Cruises today announced
it is making a significant enhancement to the main dining options
found across its fleet, designed to give guests the ultimate in
flexibility and choice when it comes to their dining experience by
offering three table service options – Traditional, Reservable, or
Walk-in Anytime - coupled with the brand's industry exclusive
OceanNow location-based "anywhere" service.
With a dedication to personal preference and individualized
service, Princess will designate separate dining rooms aboard every
ship in the fleet* to the three table service options – one
dedicated to traditional dining offering an early and a late
seating every evening; one offering reservable dining times; and a
third with open seating to support walk-ins anytime. The
three table service options integrate with the line's unparalleled
OceanNow, which provides guests the convenience of ordering
anything, anytime, and receiving it anywhere onboard, making
Princess uniquely positioned to accommodate all guest dining
preferences.
Making all dining formats available fleetwide follows the
resounding success of this new approach already implemented aboard
the new Sun Princess. With the stunning introduction of the
new next level Love Boat came the debut of 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 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."
Starting on April 15, 2024, the
new approach will launch on Princess voyages departing September 14, 2024 and beyond. 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 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, 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 or suite or reserve collection accommodations, who
enjoy a dedicated dining room on Princess ships, where no
reservations are required.
Additional information about Princess Cruises is available
through a professional travel advisor, by calling 1-800-Princess
(1-800-774-6237) or by visiting www.princess.com.
* Reservable and Walk-in Anytime Dining will be combined into a
single Main Dining Room location aboard Coral Princess and Island
Princess.
