Thank you for the info. We're on the 10-day E. Carib sailing in November. Trying to decide if we need to make dining reservations in advance or if we can be flexible about where/when to dine once we're onboard. My in-laws like to eat early (5:30a-6a at the latest).
On another note, what is your experience with the Retreat Host? Other than things like help you solve issues with guests services or help you make dining reservations, what can they do for you?
Last, my MIL has some mobility issues. She can walk but sometimes has difficulty. She is not planning to get a wheelchair or a scooter, but if it turns out she needs one during the cruise, is it possible to get something for her? I'm afraid she'll just stay in her room all the time if walking around is too hard. Thanks again.
