from a former SE Tennessee ... we were on the CB over Thanksgiving 2 years ago. The ship was packed - over the 100% double occupancy (3 and 4 people in a cabin). Had the typical Turkey. dressing. potatoes. gravy. etc. 2+ hours to eat each night in the mdr - and we sat at a 2 top but were treated as a 8-10 top with the other 2 tops around us. Crooners packed every night, finally found a single stool at the bar, I stood behind her, which is certainly no big deal to me.
had some OBC, so waited to get onboard to book Specialty dining - big mistake - only able to book Sabatini's on opening night, at their time of 7:30 or so. No other openings any night and no Crown Grill at all.
(waiting for blah, blah, blah, suite, casino, blah, blah, blah, never had a problem booking onboard, blah, blah, blah, longer cruises, eating after 7:30) Does that apply to this cruise - you decide...
Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the cruise? Actually OK - we hung in Vines at the bar - no problem getting drinks. Ordered off app to cabin multiple times - only one dropped, not delivered. I ordered 2 cabs and a chard one day, took the chard down to my wife freshening up some clothes - major points for that gesture.
CB is just not for us anymore, unless major sale out of Port Canaveral starting in the fall, I believe.
Just be prepared
