Exactly…I was on Freedom and Mariner with 50% capacity and had issues at lunch finding a table in windjammer.  I am on Symphony 12/18 and I was the one who spoke to someone on board about 5800 planned for that cruise.    They said even at around 4000 there are issues with elevators due to restricted capacity.  And if you try to climb in with more than 6 people are getting nasty about it.  
 
I worry about seeing the shows most.,.this will be my first Oasis sailing.  I have cruised many holiday sailings with lots of kids so my only worry is tables in Windjammer.  So with a ship that big I am just making plans to adjust.  breakfast room service or Solarium for both.
 

A few of us have noticed on the APP that there is a section for making reservations at Windjammer… the button isn’t highlighted yet but because it is there I think they might plan to enact it.  But just by it being there they are planning it.  If I go for dinner at Windjammer I also just want to show up….if I wanted set time I would go to dining room.  I have my time dining but sometimes I want to eat at 6pm….

The comedian on my cruise called it the “dipping sauce band”

Kelly,
You need to continue to check UDP periodically.  I saw UDP available three weeks ago and I missed it.  I saw it available again yesterday and purchase it right away.  I am boarding Odyssey this Sunday.  So, anything could happen.  I normally check 10 times per day.

Welcome to the boards!
There will be servers from the various restaurants roaming around the Windjammer and various bars right after you embark. They will be looking for people to book specialty restaurants and will most likely have a deal they can give you. You can ask about UDP, or you can just ask what they can do for you for a specific restaurant. We have gotten half off pretty regularly if we're willing to go one of the first two nights.
