Question Dine line and Chef's Table sign up?

We will board the Ruby Princess early tomorrow. I would like to confirm that calling the Dine Line is still the best way to sign up. How early in the embarkation day do they answer that phone? Thanks for any help or suggestions. Jeanne

We were on the CB October 26th and we're on board by 12N and the Dine Line was answered. We also got picked.

I've done the Chef's Table twice. The first time, I went in person to the Maitre 'd when they opened at whatever dining room to take reservations. The second time, I called the DINE line after we arrived in our cabins. Got selected both times, so I guess both can work.

Good luck!

I'm one, one, and one as far as getting picked. Got picked on the Emerald last October. In January found that the CT wasn't offered on the Diamond. Didn't picked on the Ruby last month because too many people had a hook up with Generoso before he got off the ship.....

He is quite the popular guy but I had no idea his followers were such, um, intimate fans . . . (http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...p&defid=888422)!
