That sounds like my time dining to me also if you needed reservations .
You will be fine if you have early dining , same table and same wait staff .
Call RC or your TA to confirm you have fixed early dining .
Enjoy your cruise !
Its unusual for a pod type machine to be too noisy as the beans are already processed.
My Saeco expresso machine grinds the beans before brewing and that is loud.
My keurig machine isnt as noisy as it uses pods.
We preferred it over the main dining room. Had all of our meals there.
And it was a very handy location just down the hall from our cabin.
As others have mentioned , service was great .
One thing my wife mentioned though , was no table cloth like the main dining room ( Allure )
Cant recall . It was a while ago . Its Journey music in general i cat handle , as the two singers in the real band had similar pipes and could hit those high notes quite well . I soon realized i couldnt handle several songs in a row .
Saw a Journey tribute band on Anthem several years ago . I soon discovered i couldnt handle the high pitched voice of the singer after a few tunes.Now i wont listen to Journey .
I preferred the house band ... Rock the Boat that had a variety of material .
I asked the cabin steward on harmony and he provided them .
We wanted them for a first time cruiser that booked the Icon in February just to give them some idea
of the activities available. I also told them to download the app .
It closes pretty early though , think it was 9:30 am .
We never made it there as we didnt want to wait in the lineup , but the dining room made a nice omelette .
We had 6 :45 time on Harmony for MTD on deck 3 a couple weeks ago.
We would show up around 6 pm and no lines .
The guy at the door would check with other floors if any tables were free from no shows .
We always got a two top right away on other decks .
As long as you dont mind different waiters ( we dont ) it worked out very well for us .
We were able to catch the 8 oclock shows rather than the late shows too.
Do what pleases you and dont worry about anyone else .
Its your money , spend it how you like .
Perhaps, have a private discussion with the waiter upon arrival so everyone is on the same page.
Enjoy your cruise ! 🙂
