I agree with what you are saying, most will choose the main dining rooms with the exception of maybe, once a cruise. Some of us prefer to try the alternative dining more. I know many who have never considered paying extra. As for the challenge of making and getting a reservation for a specialty dining, we couldn't even get one on Celebrity 4 years ago, they allowed booking prior to cruising. As for Princess, earlier this year, we had to take what was available and it wasn't much. It took us flexing our schedule in order to get anything close to the time we wanted for Sabatinis.Again, freestyle isn't for everyone but is becoming the accepted form of dining. One doesn't go to a resort on land and have an assigned dining time, or at least I haven't heard of that.Nita.
