We sailed on the Dec 10th sailing with a full ship. We boarded at 11:30. Dropped our roller bag in the cabin, walked around the ship briefly, then headed for the OVC. The crowd was light and plenty of seating. We found on the Edge, Beyond and Ascent we were always able to find seating. Go towards the back, and if it’s a nice day the outside seating is awesome! …you’ll find all kinds of seating in this dining room especially toward the back AND another bar for drinks.
