Thanks guys! We will be enjoying this three months from right now. Can't wait!

Cruising in November on Enchantment. We have nightly my time dining reservations. Only my second RCC cruise and we didn't do my time for some reason last time. Anyway, my question is will we be at a table ourselves (family of 4) or will they still seat us at a group table of people who made the same time reservation as us? I don't really care either way, just curious how this works. Also, is there any benefit to showing up a little early before your reservation, or no?

It looks like the day we are in port at Cozumel, Nov 27th, there are six ships there that day. I am considering either Mr. Sanchos because it looks like it has more for my teens to do, or Nachi Cocom because I am partial to less crowds. How much of an impact will six ships even have? I see there are days with way more then that looking at cruisemapper.com. With six ships in port will Mr. Sanchos be tolerable or overcrowded?

Thanks!

Related question: We are taking our kids for the first time on our next cruise. I am getting them the soda package. Will they have to have their special cups when we eat in the main dining room, or will the server bring them a soda in a glass? Do the ships that have the freestyle machines usually have one in the Windjammer?

I figured it was for the higher ups. Thanks.

I am a returning cruiser and a member of C&A. I am still on the bottom rung as I have only taken a couple of cruises. I was watching some youtube videos and several mentioned that there is usually a welcome aboard party for C&A members. How far up the ladder do you have to be for that? Is this on all ships? How will you know if you are invited? I am cruising on Enchantment in November.

Thanks for the answers.

We are a few months out from sailing from Galveston on the Enchantment. This will be our second RC cruise. I already know I will want to go on another probably next year. Is it really worth signing up for the next cruise while still on board? What are the advantages? Or is it better to just call the travel agent while at home?
