I just got back from a Cruise on Adventure, caught a 3 meal package for $60 each. Went to Chops on departure day, and made 2 reservations for sea-days, despite what was said, did not have to dine on the first night.
Picked the 3rd meal as a lunch at Giovanni's for the last at-sea day on day 5 the day before. Easy peasy, if they have an opening, they'll make it work, at least in my recent experience, "your mileage may vary", lol...
BTW, Giovanni's was great, I was disappointed in Chops. It was good, but not what I expect from a top tier steak joint.. -
Tampa hit 1 Million passenger for the first time this year. It will be viable for a while for ship that can fit under the bridge. But long range, who knows...

Keep in mind, gratuities billed do not necessarily go where you think they do. Cruise lines, not just RC, will put a portion towards staff uniforms for example...
My point is, if you get good service from staff, give them a cash tip, I do it at the end of the cruise.
And remember their names or location, and mention them when you get your after-cruise survey, that's what pays the bills for them...
