Dining – make a reservation

Is there a restaurant you’re keen to experience? If you’d like to book a table in a venue that requires reservations, you can choose your preferred time for the current day or any other date during your holiday.

Tap the ‘Dining’ icon on the My Holiday home page and tap ‘Find me a table’. You can then search for available restaurants according to your party size and the date and time you’d like to eat.

You can also browse sample menus for inspiration! If you know which venue you’d like to book, tap on its listing under ‘Make a booking by restaurant’ and choose your ideal date, time and number of guests. Please note, some venues do not require reservations and you can simply walk in.
 


If you're allocated Club Dining, you can also make dining reservations or join a virtual queue for any speciality restaurants you'd like to visit.

Dining – join a virtual queue

Relax with a drink and let My Holiday queue for you! For selected restaurants, you can join a virtual queue from your cabin, the bar or anywhere else on the ship. Then simply sit back, relax and we’ll let you know when it’s time to head to the venue.

To join a virtual queue, tap the ‘Dining’ icon on the My Holiday home page. Venues available for queuing will appear at the top of the page. Select the number of people in your party, tap ‘Join queue’ and stay on the page. Some venues will give you the option to share a table with other guests. By choosing to share a table, not only will you enjoy a more sociable dining experience, but you're also more likely to be seated more quickly at busy times.

When we let you know your table is ready, tap ‘I’m on my way’ and head to the restaurant. You’ll have 15 minutes to take your seat.
 

Once you’ve joined a queue, you must keep the page open and remain on the ship’s free Wi-Fi to receive notifications. If you lose connection to the Wi-Fi or navigate away from the page, you could lose your place in the virtual queue.

If you're allocated Freedom Dining, you can make reservations, join a virtual queue or head straight to the venue and request a table at Freedom restaurants.
