Maybe they require reservations because of the limited space but then again WAVES has limited seating but then you are not being served courses
Time will tell
I agree with the above
If you do not think you will be spending that much I would request it in the form of an FCC or if you already have another cruise booked see if it can be applied to that booking

I would say noon but you might be able to make an 11 am flight
Usually lots of ships in PE so lots of people flying out the same time
Pre covid it took us 1 hr just to get through security thank goodness out flight was 2 pm
It may work for those that like to be served but not sit for a couple of hours
Not everyone want to pop up & down to get there dinner
It may not be for everyone & you are not forced to go there

The statement
"A no-NCF policy generally will pay commission on non-commissionable parts of the fare, such as port charges or beverage packages."
In the past companies never paid commissions on port fees so now they are trying a pilot program to see how it goes
You could ask for the $200 as a refund as you are not planning to cruise within the time limit
Or just forget the FCC
You will spend more trying to use the unwanted FCC

I guess my point was not all childless couples base their decision on whether to have children or not is based on spending their money on other things they want
of course their may be a few that think that way
YMMV
Here is the announcement but probably been tweaked by now 😉

The announcement I saw it is supposed to be a quicker service than the other full serve options
dinner is suppose to be 1.5 hrs for those do not want to sit for a couple of hours
I see several things I would like 😉
probably
Do the math
