I will be on an Insignia voyage to Bermuda.  How does a single cruiser navigate Waves or the Terrace with no companion to find and save a table before ordering?  Thanks in advance for your guidance.

I know the Studio Lounge is accessible from both Decks 10 and 11 by a staircase.  However, as I have difficulty with stairs, I would like my cabin to be on the same deck as the Lounge itself.  What deck would that be?  Thanks for your help.

Are there deck chairs aside from directly around the swimming pool? Have booked an outside stateroom for the first time and thus am interested in alternatives to balcony seating. Thank you.

The knowledge on this board is amazing. Thank you all. The PG seems to better meet our expectations and I made the upgrade this afternoon. Based on your input, I think we will be much happier there, particularly since the ship is really the destination for us on this trip.

We currently have booked a Britannia Club cabin on next year's QM2 5-day 4th of July sailing. I know the Princess Grill cabin is twice as large in total footage, but the seating area (sofa, coffee table, etc.) looked about as cramped and jammed up against the bed as that in the Britannia Club cabin. Is the reality different from the pictures on the Cunard site? For what it's worth, we generally travel in larger cabins than either on other cruise lines, so the cabin is going to seem small in any case. I guess the question is whether it's worth the extra money for something less small given that this cruise is comparatively high-priced to begin with. Most important is the single seating dining, which either option offers.

Thank you, all, again. I spoke with the shore-side concierge this morning and changed our seating from late to main. She could not have been more gracious. I was extremely impressed! I had been told Disney customer service was exceptional and my experience certainly bears this out.

Thank you all so much. We are in a one-bedroom Concierge suite so will discuss this with the on-shore concierge when the time comes to speak with him or her.

We (a couple in our sixties) have booked a suite on the Wonder out of Galveston fairly late in the game. As a consequence, only late seating was available. As this is really too late for us, I am wondering whether one can reserve a table in Palo for several nights of a cruise. I don't want to eat every night in the Buffet and in-suite dining for dinners strikes me as impractical. We appreciate your input.

We are booked in the deluxe owner's suite on Jade in January. Although I don't recall purchasing them, we somehow have ultimate dining, ultimate beverage, and choice shore excursion packages. I have figured out the dining package since no charges were registered for specialty dining reservations, and guess we can order certain drinks without charge (or is there one?) and am totally clueless about the shore excursion thing. Can anyone help? Thanks.

My Time dining finally opened up today for our January 4 cruise on Navigator. Booking dining for the entire week was a nightmare -- all sorts of error messages, a message to input my credit card information, etc. I knew one had to book each night separately, but it took signing off and then signing on several times before I could get the task done. Now when I try to sign in I get a message that states "Booking locked." What does this mean and how do I unlock it?

Frustrated in Houston

We are in an owner's suite on Navigator on Jan. 5, 2015. We are booked currently for anytime dining. I know I eventually will be able to reserve a two-top for each night of the cruise and it will probably be for the time the MDR opens. That being the case, I wondered if it would not just be simpler to have our agent request a two-top for early dining. But how likely would that request be honored? Would having a suite make a difference? I really want to dine by ourselves on this one and don't want to do anything that would put it at doubt. Thanks so much.

Pleased to get a per diem credit for this shortened cruise but doubt there will be anything I want to spend it on to such an extent as to use it up. Is it use it or lose it? We have a suite so even a day is quite substantial.
