I recall the document you are likely thinking of. I have attached one from an Allure cruise in 2021. I believe we found it when we got to our room. IMHO, this chart is essential if you want to maximize all the shows you can see in a week. The app makes it virtually impossible to see the "best" option/time slots and the app doesn't show conflicts (at least it didn't back in 2021). I cannot find a pic of it from our Harmony sailing November 28 2021 (so maybe it wasn't in our room at embark?), but I found the actual doc in my file, so I snapped fresh pics of it, front & back, complete with my markings. I find a highlighter important to mark out the sold out shows or shows that conflict.

For the area with the pianos and the Rolling Stone Rock Room, the entertainment alternates in 45 minute sets, so they are not competing with each other. You can sit wherever you want to see the talent you are most interested in seeing, but you can basically hear everything in/from either venue. Usually it means continuous entertainment most nights.

This thread is a duplicate and probably should be deleted. All the conversation happened in

We have some questions about dinner in the MDR and we were wondering how HAL does things now, since it has been a few years away and the world has changed. We are a party of 2 and our TA said open seating was the only available choice on our Rotterdam sailing. We were kind of looking forward to a nice shared table, like the good old days. Our cruises since COVID (on other cruise lines) have been almost exclusively 2-tops, sometimes with timed reservations made at home, sometimes with a virtual queue via the app. Is open seating busy time still manager with pagers? or is it via the HAL app now? My experience with open seating years ago was you had to go when they opened the doors or go fairly late to avoid a full queue of pagers. I believe I saw that HAL is NOT currently doing advance timed reservations for open seating, correct? With open seating, will we get a choice of a 2-top or sharing each night? For fixed seating, is HAL doing anything different post-COVID? like more 2-tops or social distancing?

I heard that if you purchase liquor (on shore, or from the ship store) during your first segment, it will be delivered to your cabin at turnaround time as the liquor storage needs to be emptied. You can then drink it during your second segment. 😀
