Murano is very popular, particularly on the ships that don’t have the Lawn Grill or Porch. Shorter cruises it fills faster than the longer 10+N sailings.
They do not sell all reservations pre cruise so e are held back for those who booked dining packages, those in high end suites with included specialty dining and on board bookings.
