We always find our table location just after booking, easy to make a change if we don't like the location or table size. Have never done anything other than just walk in and seat ourselves, same time same table same waitstaff every night.

Loved to get coffee and toasted bagels and sit up stairs on the balcony and look out the windows.

One of the first things we do after boarding is to visit the MDR and find our table. Easy to make a switch if we don't like the location or table size. After that you just walk in and seat yourself every night. First stop is to make any Specialty reservations.

Not worth it at all. Symphony docked and we were on the bus by 9am, Waited almost a hour for everyone to show up. About a hour to get to Disney ticket counter. On the way there the driver told all of us to get back to the bus 1 hour before our scheduled time as there was a lot of construction traffic on the highway. Driver said because of the afternoon parade be sure to start heading back a additional hour early if you were at the far end of the park. Spent less than 3 hours in the park. Needless to say people were very upset. Whole bus load went directly to guest services and Royal had no problem giving a full refund for bus ride and price of admission to Disney as a refund to cc on file.

The early times and the 8pm slots fill up the quickest. Make the reservations as soon as you board. 8 pm slots may now not be a problem, they used to fill up as that was when Happy Hour was over which now has far fewer attending.

Not wrong at all but we always tip a little extra in specialty.

Why didn't you just transfer to a TA and keep the freebees from Royal as well as the TA perks..

Just saw a post from someone on Quantum, so many people arrived early the staff just gave up and said one line for suites and everyone else In one long line. A line that snaked back several times.

That is what we encountered booking for Sep/Oct this year. We ended up booking Ovation, Seattle to Vancouver then a three day stay in Vancouver and then Quantum Vancouver to Hawaii.

Chic has couch like seating along the walls. There is one section that has couch and chairs with no side rails. Look at 55 seconds in. Email royal dining a week before your cruise to request a specific area.

Be aware with cabins ending in 20. Everyone coming off the stairs or elevators has a direct line of view into your cabin when the door is open. That is the only cabin that might have a noise issue. Positive is that it is also the cabin in the exact center of the hump.

Every ship I have been on with a Park Cafe has a endless supply of small bagged chips. P C on Radiance is pretty small but still worth a try.

We will be on Ovation in Sep and then Quantum to Hawaii.

Q What kind of food or drinks am I allowed to bring onboard a Royal Caribbean cruise ship? A One of the best things about cruising is the food! And there will be many dining options available to suit most tastes and preferences. However you are free to bring non-perishable prepackaged food in limited quantities. While we have many drink offerings onboard, you are welcomed to bring select beverages onboard. On boarding day, each stateroom may bring up to two 750 ml bottles of wine or champagne, as long as one guest is of legal drinking age. Corkscrews will be provided for guests to enjoy their drinks in their stateroom. If guests wish to enjoy their wine or champagne in our dining or bar venues, there will be a corkage fee applied. Guests may also bring non-alcoholic beverages as carry-on items on boarding day. Non-alcoholic beverages may not exceed 12 standard (17 oz.) cans, bottles or cartons per stateroom. Milk and distilled water brought on for infant, medical, or dietary use are permitted. Guests who purchase alcohol bottles onboard, in a port-of-call, or bring more than the two permitted bottles on boarding day, will have their items safely stored by the ship. These bottles will be returned on the last day onboard for enjoyment once home.

I would need to be close to deaths door before I would ever go to medical, now with covid I would probably never go..

They start early traditional at 5-5:15 and then seat MTD as tables clear.

You have just added a new sister to chair hogs, now we have pencil hogs... where will it end.
