Review summary

Our party of four selected "anytime dining" as a our choice. We believed it would would provide us more flexibility. It resulted in reservations for only late sittings and or long lines with up to an hour wait.  Many others were surprised by this debacle. 

 

The other aspects of the trip were enjoyable.

 

Note:  we did not receive our $50 on-board credit automatically as stated in our initial paperwork.  We were told to follow-up with Cruise.com after returning home.  Can you tell me how I can claim this $50 credit.  The other couple in our party were told they would receive their $25 check in the mail.

That's why we like Traditional dining. We sign up for a large table, cuts down the odds of spending all that time with people you may not like ........ or may not like you! Also, the Messenger ("Princess at Sea") feature is great! My wife and I do different activities from time to time, so the ability to text was important. Also, you can check your account every day "almost" in real time.
