I do this every time. Make sure I’m first on board. Thankfully my latitude level affords me priority embark. And I B line it to the reservation desk on board. I am first in line and always have my pick for dates and times for all restaurants. I’ve Done it every cruise. Also restaurants frequently have cancelations and no shows. They’ve worked with me and helped accommodate me many times in the past. Just speak to the maître D/ host and a little politeness and it can go a long way. I’ve had fantastic experience in the past with the excellent specialty dining staff this time, however, my girl friend is a super planner, so for my first time ever I have all my reservations made. Not sure what I will do with myself on board first. Always wanted to try a good ole fashioned dilly dally.

On board the Joy 16th-23rd It will be my second time on this ship. Very excited. Curious as to what the changes will be like since my last time on board. I was also haven last time but will be in a regular cabin this time. So it will be a different experience either way. Hope they still have the full Beatles on board at tavern and also curious as to what other entertainment is there. I am disappointed they removed the footloose for deal or no deal. Hoping the other entertainment makes up for it. looking forward to your full report ! have a blast!

I was always under the impression that if you tip on the paper they give you it goes to a general tip pool. If you tip them in cash they get to keep it themselves. Which is why cash is king. I what I’m not sure about is how the prepaid gratuities work and who they go to I’ve heard people removing the grats once onboard. Does that hurt the employees?

Ahhh glad to have found the Washy Washy thread def delivers

What are haven bids Looking like these days. Going on 7 day on escape in January how aggressive have bids been? I got haven upgrade end of last year with minimum bid, but feel things have changed a lot since then
