Also as far as the Adult Comedy show, they have a couple shows almost every night in the Attic, but they also had a final show in the Royal Theater on the last night, for which the content was different (still adults only). We really enjoyed it. (We also saw them twice in the Attic, and it was similar, but still a lot of improv)

Slightly off topic, but we were on the Wonder the week before you, and while this may be known to a lot of people, I realized you can try non-alcoholic drinks at the bionic bar, which are free if you have the refreshment package. It was fun to try weird combinations of different flavors.

In our case, the one night (St Thomas) where we couldn't make it for dinner in time, we were given another table right next to our assigned one (it was about 6:30PM - we had informed the head waiter the night before and he told us to come directly to him and he would find us a table - no waiting in line). Our assigned table remained unused until the second seating started.

Following up on my initial post, I wanted to share that we have just returned from our cruise on the Wonder. We were fortunate to secure a great table exclusively for our group and made a concerted effort to be on time for dinner each night at 5 PM. Here are some additional details: Our waiter informed us that arriving at 5:30 PM would be acceptable, and even 6 PM at the latest if, for instance, your excursion returns late in the afternoon (which actually happened to us in St. Thomas). Just remember to inform your waiter about any delays. This schedule worked well for us as it allowed us ample time to enjoy the evening activities without feeling rushed. By opting not to choose My Time Dining (MTD), or at least avoiding MTD without a reservation, we were able to avoid the long lines that often occurred when we finished our meal around 6:30 - 6:45 PM. I would suggest planning your lunch accordingly. Having a late lunch, like at 1 PM, tends to affect my appetite when dinner is scheduled for 5 PM!

I don’t have to justify my actions but we did show up on time in the past as mentioned in my previous post. I was asking about what time is acceptable to show up at and nothing else. Thanks for the answers.

Thank you all for the feedback. In our previous cruises, we have always prioritized being punctual for our assigned dining time, typically around 6 PM, and we truly appreciate the unique experience of enjoying the Main Dining room service that distinguishes cruises from other types of vacations. This upcoming cruise I just want to ensure that we can accommodate this early dining time in our schedule. While we are open to considering other dining options, we are mindful that specialty dining can quickly become costly for a family.

The Early Dining time is 5pm on our upcoming Wonder of the Seas cruise. Late sitting is just too late and MTD only had reservations around 8pm anyway (back when reservations opened!). So early was the only good choice for us. But 5PM is the earliest time I've ever seen on a cruise (Royal or not). How late can we arrive? Would 5:30PM be ok?

If anyone knows how to have free bottles of Veuve Clicquot or Moët et Chandon (real) champagne randomly delivered to our stateroom on our upcoming cruise, please share. 🍾

Does the open lot ever get full?

We have a 1:30pm check in time to get on Wonder out of Port Canaveral and I'm wondering what parking looks like at the terminal at this time. Does it ever run out of space? I assume the parking garage will be full, but what about the surface lot right behind it? What happens if it fills up to capacity?

The Refreshment Package (Non-Alcoholic) for our upcoming cruise (Wonder of the Seas, 28 May 2023) is currently 20% off ($27.99pp per day instead of $36). Is this the best we can hope for? Has anybody seen a better discount (like 25% or 30% off)? Thanks!
