So.....I've been patiently waiting for the magic "28 days" prior to my cruise. This morning I go to the RSSC website - I see the link....it's enabled....I click AND......
We are not ready to accept your dining reservations yet. We apologize for the delay. :(
Oh well...guess this belong with the slightly disappointed topic.

Margo - Even if it eventually accepts your dining reservations, confirm them on board. We were not the only people on our cruise to have our on line reservations "lost." Left us a bit embarassed as we delayed the people behind us - thank heavens our ususal table was still available in Compass Rose. We were more than slightly disappointed - the menu in Portofino that night was to die for - though who can complain when dining in Compass Rose!

Thanks Sue - I'll follow up - that is if I ever get to make a reservation from home. I'm really puzzled how our "Gold" status is going to give us priority because everyone can make reservation now (if the online feature ever works). Only time will tell - I hope to be pleasantly surprised.
We are making reservations for a special dinner with friends that we're traveling with. It's a birthday and we want to dine in Signature's - that's why I've been waiting for my opportunity to reserve.

Well...just found this note - guess I can understand a delay for mother nature! Winter Weather Disruptions...
Due to severe winter weather conditions in Omaha, we have closed our reservations center for the remainder of the day (03/01/2007).
An early morning blizzard has prevented safe travel for our staff to and from the office. We regret any inconvenience and anticipate the office will be open tomorrow with staff available to accept your calls. Please expect some delays if we are short staffed.
Thank you for your patience. At least it's sunny here in my "impatient" state!

Gosh...what a model of efficiency they have - I often wonder why they set up deadlines and then fail to live up to them.

I also think you have to re-up those reservations onboard as Sue mentioned. I tried it first time after several tries to book my group on MUSH in Alaska in August. First off, I don't remember that they had tables of 8 online, just 6 or 2 or 4. There was just a myriad of problems that were taken care of once we got on the ship.

We made reservations at both Signatures and Latitudes for our cruise last November. The confirmations were in our room when we boarded the ship--no pain, no strain. I think I made the reservations about a month before we sailed (must have been 28 days, I guess)

Margo, I agree with sue. Last year on the Navigator, I made a reservation for myself to be seated at a table for 6 in Portofino's and they computer had me down as reserving a table for 6! it was a real mess to find me a seat.

I booked on Sand (Navigator - Portofino), Wave (Voyager both Latitudes and Signatures) and Mush (Mariner - again both specialty restaurants) on Line and our reservations were all perfect.
I did reference who was dining with us. There was a confirmation waiting for us when we boarded. I do know on MUSH others who had booked tables the same nights we did were not so lucky.

Success....I was able to do our reservations this afternoon - only two but I hope we'll be able to add a few more when we board - or our friends will make some that include us!
Won't be long now!
Cruisedreamer....I answered your other post - we'll have to find a way to meet. We are in Suite 913 - maybe a phone call to arrange a meeting would work?

Am I right in thinking that if I book Signatures on formal night that I won't need to pack any formal wear? There is only one formal night listed for this 10 night cruise. Seems that I could save a lot of packing.

If you want to go to Signatures on formal night you will need formalwear. We have traveled many times with no formal wear as we take long pre & post trips & need all the extra luggage space & weight we can. On formal nights you can eat in your cabin or on the ship's casual restaurant.

Nancy, you can also get by with a dressy informal dress & your husband only needs a dark suit.

Hi billp1, I'm an engineer and I like the way you think  Probably see you at the CC intro party in the Obsevation lounge at 1pm on the 15th. I'll be the tall, fat, dorky engineer-type guy with the DW that is way better better than I deserve....
