Creator's Key Takeaways

If you don't get the reservation you want, do not surrender. Go to the restaurant, ask nicely, put your name down. People cancel.

This was the best food experience I've had on a cruise so far. Not always easy to book, true, but exciting, fresh, stylish. social included and dangerously good.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If a restaurant is fully booked, go there directly and ask nicely; people often cancel or don't show up.
Check the app frequently for cancellations.
The Wake brunch is highly recommended and worth fighting for.

Difficulty getting restaurant reservationsDon't panic; use the app, ask sailor services, or go directly to the restaurant to put your name down.
Availability of food if reservations are missedUtilize no-reservation spots like the Galley, Sun Club Cafe, and Pizza Place, which are still high quality.
