What do you mean by register? Do you mean check in? If so, that is 45 days prior to sailing.

Cafe la Trova would be my first, second and third recommendation.

That is usually something that comes available when you are MUCH closer to your sailing date. Give it another month or two….bare minimum

I originally had a beach bed booked for Chill Island, but then couldn’t pass up the beach club at the Black Friday price. I’ve never been to coco cay either, so figured I might as well spoil myself because who knows if or when I’ll get to go back. Maybe after seeing all there is to do, I’ll pass on the beach club next time….but that’s a next time’s issue!

That 45 minutes just made your cruise much more enjoyable and one less thing to worry about each day!! It’s a small price to have things just the way you want it!

If you are in a rush to eat….eat at WindJammer. People who want to eat at the MDR are there to relax and enjoy their vacation. Asking RC to change their whole operation to appease a small minority of diners who are in a rush, just isn’t going to happen. You choose where you eat and if the MDR isn’t for you….don’t eat there. It’s pretty simple. Nobody wants a Panera dining experience at the MDR. If they do, then eat at Panera!

Just call up RC and make the change. Quite a simple process.

I’ve had it take over 2 weeks before, but 7-10 days is pretty standard.

No you will not. You will just need to show your SeaPass

I’m starting to think 12/31 is the hard cut-off. I’m sailing on 12/31 on Harmony and have the ability to make show reservations.

You cannot do this by yourself.

It is treated the same as MTD. You don’t have to make a reservation, but those who have one will have priority seating.

I was also able to get the 11am slot. I believe the 11am is the time you are let into the terminal for check in. Im a control freak planner and just do individual reservations. Not having the days, times and venues all set prior to sailing would make me a nervous wreck!!

They limit attendance for each time slot, so pick the time that works best for you.

Are you doing other excursions that involve whale watching? If no, you are very unlikely to see any whales let alone plenty of them. They don’t hang out in the route the ships take. The whale watching excursions have to take you out a little bit from the shipping lanes.
