Has anyone sailed on Icon and is willing to share some details about their dining schedule experience? I would love to hear from both traditional dining people as well as my time dining people if you are out there. I have heard that they now have 3 traditional dining seatings on Icon but when I call Royal to switch to the middle seating from our way too early 5pm seating (was originally 5:30pm when we booked), they say that there is still only 2 main seatings, a 5pm or 8pm, or the option to switch to my time dining. That doesn't sound any different from the dining options before the supposed change... Just trying to figure out the best dining plan for our group's cruise and their lack of communication on this is making it challenging. Some questions rolling around in my head: Are there really 3 traditional seatings and if so how do you switch to the middle one and what time is it at? What time are the early/late seatings? What time does my time dining start seating? Were there long waits for my time dining folks without reservations? Were there decent options for my time dining reservation times once on board or were they all just super late?

Joining the countdown club! 33 days, feels unbelievable after waiting 500+!!!! Lucky ducks getting that 11:30am check-in time! I started refreshing my app at 12am eastern when check-in was supposed to open. I did that for about 5 to 10 minutes before it still wasn't showing check-in available so I got sidetracked and came back at 12:45am and by then Noon was the earliest
