Help!!! I just went to book La Verandah but there is no way to say we want to dine with friends who will be traveling with us. How do you do that?

Thanks,
Carol

If you all book the same day and time, that's most of the battle. Underneath, it has a place for comments for special occasions not listed, you can type in a limited amount of text. I put my son's middle school graduation for instance. You can just type in: dinner with the Smiths.

I booked our reservations a couple weeks ago, but I thought I remember there being a # of pax "drop down" box, where you could choose anywhere from 1 to 4 people. Don't quote me, but I thought I remembered something like this...

That's right, Kristin. I remember that, too.

Thanks so much. I'll have my friends book the same day also...because I assume you can't go 2 nights unless there are extra openings after you board...if I'm wrong I guess we can figure it out on board.
Thanks again for your information.

If all else fails..... just go to Franco, the Matre'D & ask.
Franco, I have 20 people tonight. Can you seat us?

That is what I did & he came thru each & every time! He is a treasure!

Thanks, Doug.
I figured to make at least one ahead at La Verandah and then decide re the other when on board...Check out the different menus, etc.
This website is making me more excited about going then I would normally be when preparing for a trip...all the info and positive input.

Funny story:

When we went on the PG, it was before LCT. But we knew a number of people (by name only) from another board.
That 1st week, we kept growing in number as each of us met other folks & wanted to have dinner with them.
Every evening we all would meet in one of the bars. I would take a head count of who was going to eat in Compass Rose & dash down the stairs to check in with Franco.
I think that on the last night we were over 30.

We, however, were on a back to back on the PG. So, when all of our new best friends left, we were alone.
But making friends on a Regent cruise is so easy!
We just went with the plan that worked the 1st week.
I think that it was Monday night (night 3 of week 2), that we had a nice group (16, as I recall) together for dinner.
Into the dining room I go to a smiling Franco. I told him our needs for the evening & learned that the staff had been taking bets on how long it would take us to put a group together!

It is a geat ship & a great crew!

Great story, Doug! Taking bets, how funny...
