It’s also a VERY long walk all the way aft which is the primary reason we quit booking the ATS.  Waaaytooo much walking for me.

Our very first (2) ATS were the 1 BR ones.  I would say that the ones on 11 are worth the money but the ones on 12 and 14 are not.  They are so much smaller and the balconies (particularly on Allure and Oasis) are downright tiny.

IMO, doing the same itinerary again is not a big deal. When it comes to cruising in the Caribbean, it's pretty much expected. I find plenty to see and do each time.  

Went on a transatlantic cruise a few days ago, Hurricane caused us to instead of going to Halifax and Sydney (CAN) We got stuck with 2 more sea days and we spent a overnight in NYC, Nice to have more time in the city before I left but the cruise was mostly sea days, It was a bit disappointing.

When a group "takes over" a table that I was using by myself, I just pull up a chair, sit down, and start eating.
"Oh, sorry. Didn't notice that you had joined me."

I suggest taking a large orange cone and placing it on it the table. ??
These are used to ward off people for just about anything nowadays.
 
 

We always went by the napkin. If it was left on the chair, then the diner wasn't finished. If it was put on the plate, then the diner was finished.
