We just got back from the Eurodam and were assigned As You Wish Dining which gave me much precruise anxiety. We ended up loving it! We never had a problem getting a table for 3 - which is what we wanted - and never waited. Our ship was full. We did make reservations a couple nights but they were not needed as we either decided to eat later or earlier than our reserved time and the change was easily made.

It was so much nicer not having to hurry to get ready for an assigned time or wait around for an assigned time. Most of the wait staff were still very friendly so even though we didn't strike up an ongoing relationship since we would get a different table each night it was nice to meet different waiters. We did not see any drop in level in service.

What about cabin 1452 on the Valor? It's on the Riviera deck last cabin on the port side aft. We prefer ship sounds over people sounds so thought this would be ok for an oceanview.

Thanks.

We are 2 families totaling 9 who will be getting off the Miracle in Tampa in June. We have 7:25 pm flights out of Tampa. Any suggestions on what we could do in Tampa that day? We are not particularly interested in the aquarium. Do we have time for Busch Gardens (and is it worth it - we live near Cedar Point in Ohio so we get our fill of thrill rides) or do we have time for a Tampa Bay baseball game (they are in town that afternoon) or any other suggestions ? Also any idea where we could store our luggage if we decide to partake in any activities? Thanks.
