figure out wwhat night would be best for you based on menu, nights in port, and resturants you don't want to miss. We made a grid with all the dining rotations/menus/resturants and picked first choice and second choice. Then when you get on the ship...run to the rockin bar d to try to geet the reservation you want. When you check in at the port it will have your dining rotation listed on the KTTW card, so you will know your rotation before you get on the ship.
FYI we had LAPLAL and did Palo on Tuesday night. It was perfect.
