Odyssey has a separate Izumi and the reservation fee covers the following as per Royal's site....

 

What's Included

• Start off with one (1) small plate, like Miso Soup or Pork Gyoza Dumplings. 
• Pick your choice of two (2) large plates from a selection of signature rolls, sushi & sashimi, flavorful bowls of ramen and more.
• Top it all off with one (1) delicious dessert like mochi ice cream offered in a variety of flavors.

thank you. For the life of me I could not find this information on their web site. 

It’s been more than a minute since we’ve cruised on Royal Caribbean. A lot has changed since our last cruise during Oasis’s inaugural year. 
 

Thanks to all the YouTube bloggers, I’ve found the answers to many of my questions with the exception of one, pricing for Izumi. I see I can  reserves early as with Chops, Jamie’s Italian, Wonder, and Izumi, but Izumi’s online menu appears to be Ala Carte pricing. What’s covered by the reservation fee? 

I have two kids, dd4, and dd7 coming along- what's the earliest time for my time dining. Also I heard about family dining where the staff from AO would come and take the kids to AO after their meals...

5:30 on our cruise on Oasis in January.

We are signed up for My Time Dining and I've heard some conflicting info and I was wondering if some experienced cruisers could point us in the right direction.

 

I see on RCCI's website where I can reserve our dinner times for each night of our cruise through My Time Dining.

 

When I booked, my travel agent pushed MTD because she said that you didn't have to plan around dinner times and could just show up and be seated anytime.

 

Is it one way or the other, or is it both? My best guess is that we can do either, and if we don't have reservations for a specific time, plan to wait a while? Is there still a wait if you have reserved a time slot?

 

Thanks for your insight!

We were on Oasis last January. The first two nights onboard they weren't even taking reservations. After that we never made a reservation for the remainder of the week. We just went when it was convenient for us. We only saw a line that had formed one evening when we were leaving. Otherwise there was never more than 2 or 3 groups waiting to be seated when we left. We never had to wait more than 5 minutes to be seated ourselves.

We're on Allure this coming January. I have no plans to reserve MTD seating ahead of time. It sort of defeats the purpose of MTD if you have to make reservations every night.

My son is almost 9, has a black belt in taekwondo, plays on football, baseball and basketball teams and is an experienced snow skiier and rock climber (they Wyoming kind as well as the indoor man-made type). He is more than capable but is small for his age.

 

However, I totally respect their decision to stick to the height requirement if they must and would never argue the matter with RCCL. I just wondered if any of you experienced your child being denied based on height alone.

 

Thanks everyone for your replies!

It might be a risk for injury issue should he fall off the board. Under a certain height there could be more risk for injury. Excactly how I don't know since I've never seen a flow rider.

As a nurse, I've seen even the most capable person get injured in an unexpected accident. The odds are less but, there's never a 100% guarentee that something out of the ordinary wouldn't happen. Your son is an accomplished climber but, should he have one brief moment in lack of concentration, bad things can still happen. Heck, even pro-sports players get injured in unexpected ways on a regular basis. Capability does not equal invulnerablity. For whatever reason, height appears to be a factor in risk for injury on this contraption.

Since it seems to be all about a size issue rather than a capability issue, I'd say you'll probably find he won't be allowed. A dissapointement I know but probably reality. Heck, I'm well over the height requirement but I bet your son could out preform me on one of those things. I'm reasonably certain that I'm NOT capable on one of those things.

Oh good, now I can tell my wife that I AM good for something. :D

Probably because they can charge more for a cat. JS than for a D1. At least you should get the extra cruise credit for sailing a cat. JS that you wouldn't get if they called it a D1.
