On board yesterday at 10:40. Had all.our reservations made by 11:00. Was even able to get a table for 12 at Giovannis one night. Had to go direcy to Izumi to make a reservation for Hibachi and there weren't many choices. My guess is that by 11:30 everything would have been booked.
Didn't bother with Hooked as we weren't impressed on Symphony last March although I did book it for lunch.
Great meal last night at Izumi, Hibachi is tonight.
We are on board now and while waiting the first time they called for after suites, pinnacles and the key boarded was 10:15.
We had an 11am time and were on board the ship at 10:40.
We did that sailing in July and were sitting at the airport at 9 am and had to wait 3 hours before our flight check in desk opened up for us to check luggage. # hours in Seattle sitting in front of security where there are few chairs or places to eat is a long time.
There are 2 different kids menus, make sure you are looking at the correct one.
One iscgir kids 5 and under who are free. They get chicken fingers, grilled cheese etc...
Thr one for 6 to 12 who pay a reduced rate is similar to the adult menu just smaller portions.
Those days are best guesses by me based on previous releases. You only have 60 days from date of purchase of the next cruise certificate to get the additional OBC. The certificates are still valid for 10 months after that so you wouldn't lose the value just the additional OBC
