specialty dining the tip is included in the purchase price.   A $60 dinner includes $50 for the meal and $10 for the staff.   Since we ate all of our dinners at speciality restaurants, we had the auto gratuities removed and paid the stateroom attendant the recommended $6 per day per person in cash. 

My time dining should not be much not an issue to get seated.  The bigger issue is will you enjoy the meals.  On a recent 11 night Hawaii cruise some passengers loved the MDR while others like us booked 10 nights of specialty dining. It depends on how you go out at home- upscale restaurants with local ingredients or Applebees.  To each their own 

Thanks. aqua class is sold out.  We have enjoyed Blu on past trips 

Can anyone comment on their experience in a retreat class room on the Solstice.  Considering bidding on upgrade to a sky suite.  Is the retreat deck only accessible by stairs, is there anything there besides deck chairs?   Did you enjoy Luminae, etc.

Traveling with good friends in continent suites 8048 and 8046.   Can the glass partition between verandas be opened so we can sit together?   Celebrity did this for us on the Solstice. 

Booked on board.   Extra perks but non refundable deposit.    Huge price increase if I rebook for next summer 

Are people making payments for July and August trips or just losing deposits 

Once on board you are free to change who is sleeping in each room.  In the past booked myself and 14 year old son in one room and my wife and 16 daughter in another.   Got new key cards and gave the kids their own room. 

How is it assigned.  Registered on app 20 days in advance of last trip and had it.   Skipped all lines and went right in a side door.   Today registered 88 days in advance and didn’t get.
