My 9/2/09 Alaska cruise is at the 120 day mark today. I just checked the Already Booked section and online dining reservations were available for my cruise even though the web site says dining reservations are generally available beginning 30 days before sailing. The web site also says that you must have completed your Guest Information Forms before you can make online dining reservations. Since I had already completed the forms, I don't know if the Guest Information Form requirement is correct or not.

Thanks for the heads up, Dave. We are the week after you so I will check the reservation system next week.

The online dining reservations still are not available for my cruise which leaves in two weeks. Tom.

Tom, there are many things about our upcoming cruise that aren't "right" yet....I think we'll be showing up saying HI WE'RE HERE without paperwork, luggage or deck tags etc.

I did fax in dining requests I received via email...I'll email them to you now.

Thanks Marcie. Hopefully, we'll all make it on board and the ship will sail as scheduled. Tom.

I think, as of now, deck 6 port - 650-644 is designated Marcie, Mona, Peggy, Joanna ............ and spouses :cool: :cool: :cool:

My August 26th Alaska cruise dinner reservations were available online. Guess we will see if they hold through the 30 day period.

I am in a Penthouse C on Mariner Aug. 26th which is not a Butler suite, but the online "Butler Request" forms are available for me to choose snacks and booze in the room, newpapers etc. Do I get to choose these things even if I am not in a Butler Cabin?

Tyler, fill it in and see what happens! Nothing to lose!

Tyler, are you sure? I thought I had read somewhere that category C on all ships was going to start having Butler service. Now maybe that hasn't taken place yet, or by your sailing. Agree with Olivia though, fill it out and see what happens.
