When we sailed in August the tickets ran through available times like fast passes. Early pat got the earliest seating on the first sea day.......and the issued until full moving through staggered times throughout the first day until that morning was fully booked before opening the second day which was filled in sequence etc. Our friends had a 100 pat and were on the second breakfast day......if you are concerned send a person straight to the line when you board...for us, tickets were in headbands and the lines got quite long but the cms were efficient. They set up several stations where you met with single CM to get the breakfast ticket and tickets for character greats. I was in the 1st pat group 7.......waited maybe 10-15 mind. Total time to be on my way tickets in hand was approx 20 mins, but later arrivals had longer waits.
