Just off Allure this morning. No email letter at all pertaining to access before we boarded...but we did have it. Had to make reservations each day for dinner in CK...but no problem. Could not book anything above a JS when we booked months ago, as ship was full, even with checking daily until sail date.
There were only 29 of us, so the top 30 did not apply. Not sure if we had access to Chops for breakfast as we never got any kind of letter from the LA on access.
