Mason Jar Brunch Reservation Question

[blaken09]

Hi y'all. Hoping to book Mason Jar brunch for our upcoming Wonder cruise (not with the UDP). When going to select a date and time, Cruise Planner is only showing our embarkation date with reservation times between 10am and 2pm. No one can even board the ship before noon due to the Coast Guard doing it's annual inspection of WOTS (according to an email from Royal).

 

My question is - does this sound right? Why would they be offering times to dine for a brunch on embarkation day before anyone can even board? Could it be that every other day of the cruise is booked up for brunch? I always read that the specialty restaurants rarely get fill up completely, but when trying to book other locations, it does give me various dates and times unlike the brunch. Just a bit confused and would appreciate any insight/clarification!

Because RCI IT is on auto pilot without regard of realities on the ship.
