We usually had to wait for someone else to leave and grab that table. Had much more trouble finding seating on these 2 occasions that on our previous CB cruise in which we always found a table up in the Caribe area. No problem finding seating for snacks at off times. Because of this, we decided to eat most of our meals in the dining room. Read more
