“Be in the line at least an hour before if you want a window table. Even then our host wanted to place us on a middle table beside buffet counter with many empty window tables so please insist on getting it. Queue up for food very early as food gets over in 10-15 mins and they take a long time to replace and sometimes refuses to replenish. Maybe better to take a normal cruise which comes at much lower rate and have dinner at a good restaurant.”
