We also made lunch reservation right at the check in counter. Never had an issue, both times had a choice of times. The earlier you check in the better time options you will have.

What time did you board, and how long did it take you?  Also, did you have any issues getting the times you wanted?  what times were you looking for?

Thanks

Can't remember exact time, but got to The Mason Jar about 30 mins before lunch was over because I was concerned if they would seat us or not. Check it was  was not bad  and the lines moved very quickly. The longest line was the security line. My sweet spot for dinner is between early dinning and late dinning.5:30 is a little too early and 8:30 pm is to late. I wasn't able to get the same time every night at all the restaurants, but my reservations fell between 6:30 pm. - 7:30 pm. I did have one 8 pm reservation, but that was ok because it was the Coco Cay day. So we really had a chance to relax after getting back on the ship.

Was just on The Wonder last month and had the UDP. Booked my dinner and Sea day lunches reservations on the app when I boarded. Showed up on my calendar, never had an issue. The Mason Jar was open for lunch when we boarded. Didn't have a reservation, but they took us anyway and was a great way to start off our cruise.  Izumi you have to book in person, not sure why when you can reserve every other restaurant on the app. Didn't get a chance to go there until Day 2 and they were all booked up. 

Great tips and thanks everyone!

I heard about their brunch. Do you know what days they offer brunch?

Thanks

Hi,

Cruising on the Wonder of the Seas next month and was wondering if I can use my UDP for lunch when I board. Not interested in going to the WJ and The Key is sold out for my sailing. 

Thanks

Standup Comedy Show is listed twice in my Cruise Planner. Are those two different comedy shows that I should schedule? I only scheduled one so far.

Congratulations! 

I have my first cruise as Emerald Status next month and I am so excited.

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks, I did go back and check and you are right, it was listed for lunch on a sea day. Still a little confused because it was listed as Izumi Hibatchi  for lunch on day 2 and 6 . On day 3 is was listed as Izumi Hibatch & Sushi. For dinner it is listed as Izumi Hibatchi & Sushi. That sailing had 3 sea days. I wonder if they switch between Hibatchi and Sushi offerings for lunch depending on the number of sea days, do you think they would call it Izumi Hibatch and only serve Sushi?

Is Izumi Hibachi offer for lunch on Symphony of the Seas? I was reading a review from March 2019 and it was listed in the Cruise compass, but it didn't come up as an option in my cruise planner for my cruise leaving in 27 days. Is that currently still a lunch option on Symphony? If so, how much is it?

Thanks

The times and dates of Hairspray have changed. Not sure if it is just for my sailing or not, but I just received this email a few days ago about my upcoming August trip:

I only see times for day 6 and 7 in my cruise planner now.

If you are going to use your debit card, I suggest you call your bank to let them know what your plans are ahead of time. You wouldn't want them to think it is fraudulent activity and block your charges.

Hennessy shots on the Freedom of the Seas were $9.44 each on my recent August 11, 2018 sailing.

Yes, I did hear from them! I'm all set for the East Side Tour when I visit in a couple of days.

Thank you for responding. I will give it a few more days. I am just getting a little anxious because I am traveling with a group of 12 on the Freedom of the Seas next month.

Are they still doing tours? Sent two emails and haven’t gotten a response back. Trying to book a tour for next month. Does anyone know of a better way to reach them, I just used the email on their website.

Thanks

Thank you! Traveling with a group of 13 and looking for the best way to get to the pier.

Is the $1 luggage fee per bag? Also the price listed for the pier and airport fee is per taxi, not per person correct.? Do they have vans available for large groups?

Thanks
