Jumping on this thread to see if anyone has advice about when a good time to pay for a drinks package is. We're on Brilliance of the Seas out of Sydney on 4/4/24, but it's our first time booking with RCI in Australia (we're from the UK) so I was wondering if there are time of year when discounts or special offers come around?

Hi, we're booked on Beyond 18th August - we are planning to book the Speciality Dining Package but don't understand the "1st Night Reservation" part of the deal. When we go through the online booking it sets us up to make 3pm reservation on the 1st night: Does this mean we have to dine at 3pm on the first day? If not, does it mean we have to dine on the first night? If we don't have to dine on the 1st night, do we just dash onboard and arrange our Speciality dining as soon as possible? We'd like to eat in Eden, Le Voyage and Le Petit Chef - is there likely to be availability for them if we wait until we board? Any advice much appreciated
