Can I pre-select a restaurant, dining time and table size?
If you have booked your cruise on a Freedom Fare you will be able to select your restaurant and dining time, subject to availability.
Freedom Fare guests can pre-select a restaurant and choose between early (6.00pm) or late (8.00pm*) dining on board Borealis & Bolette, and Balmoral between early (6.15pm) or late (8.30pm) dining. Freedom Fare guests can also request a table for either 2, 4, 6 or 8 people. However, please note that your table size and allocation requests cannot always be guaranteed.
*Please note, on embarkation day and formal nights, second sitting will be at 8.15pm.
From 14th September (cruise L2429) dining times for Balmoral will change to early (6.00pm) or late (8.00pm*).
If you’re booked your cruise on a Saver Fare, your dining time, restaurant and table size will be allocated automatically.
Saver fare guests can pay a supplement to secure the dining time of your choice, but not the restaurant, for £2.00 per person, per night (subject to availability).
Dining times on One Night Cruises may vary, depending on which sailing you have booked.
For all guests, your allocated evening dining table will remain the same for the duration of your cruise. You are, however, free to dine in one of our less formal buffet restaurants, which you can visit anytime during opening hours.
Our speciality restaurants offer a delicious alternative to the main restaurants and buffets. Vasco offers a taste of India with dishes filled with spices and flavours; while Colours & Tastes is a perfect blend of Asian Fusion cuisine.
There’s a small supplementary charge for our Speciality Restaurants of £10pp before you cruise, or £15pp if you’d prefer to book on board.
If you wish to discuss your dining options, please call our Guest Services team on 0800 0355 145, or e-mail guest.services@fredolsen.co.uk. Available 8:30am to 6pm Monday to Friday, and 9am to 5pm on Saturday.
