Royal Caribbean has started charging passengers who fail to show up for their reservation at its onboard specialty restaurants.
Any passengers who cancel less than 24 hours before their reservation – or fail to turn up – will be charged the fee.
In a statement, Royal Caribbean said: “A 24-hour cancellation period will be enforced for all specialty dining reservations and culinary experiences, excluding Star Class and Dining Package reservations.”
Royal Caribbean added: “This change allows us to ensure guests have a chance to enjoy popular dining experiences during their vacation, especially those with limited capacity.”
The late cancellation or no-show fee starts at $25 per person, rising to $50 per person at the Empire Supper Club, Lincoln Supper Club (pictured), Omakase, Royal Railway, Izumi Hibachi/Teppanyaki and Chef’s Table. For the Celebration Table, the no-show fee is half the cost of the experience.
