dining reservations

[jcfoshe]

There is 6 of us going on Harmony of the Seas in September.   Listening to a few cruise bloggers on Wonder Of the Sea, has me wondering if getting dining reservations is going to be an issue.  We purchased the unlimited dining, but wondered if we will get to fully utilize it, or have problems being told no availability.   I know we will have to reserve all the meals we want as soon as we get on the ship, but if we get a late check in time to board will all the good spots be taken?

If you are in a sky class suite or higher your concierge will reach out a week prior and you can reserve then instead of once you get on a ship.  May be something to think about if you aren't about royal up.  Plus sky class gets you Coastal kitchen, beer/wine/soda 11-11, 5-8 happy hour with cocktails.  Many other benefits too.

Just a thought, also remember on ship any specialty dining you can reserve if you are at say 150 central, and want to reserve izumi or chops you can usually from what I read and hear at 150 central.
