Creator's Key Takeaways

traditional dining is going to be early or it's going to be a late setting and the times could always shift on that but it's going to be around six o'clock and eight o'clock

do not try to navigate the Windjammer for breakfast especially during peak hours on a weekend sailing it is a mob scene in there with people everywhere

if you are on the cruise ship leaving out of Miami Port Canaveral Fort Lauderdale wherever that weekend sailing is leaving from you're going to keep perception probably till about 7 P.M or 9 p.m at night

if you are off the ship by probably around 10 o'clock you're going to get a really good seat or if you come out around you know 12 30 to 1 o'clock people are already going to be coming back to the ship

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Sign up for traditional dining instead of my time dining
โœ“Eat breakfast in the main dining room to avoid crowds
โœ“Check international cell phone rates instead of buying Wi-Fi on the ship
โœ“Go to the private island early or late to get a good seat
โœ“Check in early for your cruise to get an early boarding time
โœ“Bring a side bag with essentials since rooms aren't ready immediately
