Coastal Kitchen - Harmony & Anthem

[Gracie115]

We are just off the Harmony TA and booked on the Anthem TA & fjords cruise for next May and wondering if Coastal Kitchen is bigger/smaller/the same on Anthem.  On Harmony we were in a Crown Loft but on Anthem we are in a JS for the fjord's cruise and hoping we will still be able to get reservations for dinner in Coastal.

I had no problem getting into CK every night on Anthem during one of the UK staycations in September (in a JS).

 

It was never full - but then the ship was at less than 40% capacity. It’s a reasonably big room though.

Stayed in junior suite twice on Anthem and never had a problem dining in Coastal Kitchen. If anything we had to eat  a little later than requested.

By May ships should be back to full capacity. We have sailed on Harmony in a JS when she was sailing at full capacity, and never had any problem making dinner reservations in CK, although seating times were all over the map from 6:30 to 8:00.

Thanks, hopefully the same will be true on Anthem next May!

Currently still using social distancing in CK, speciality venues, etc. 

 

Much harder to get reservations now

Oh I don't think that's true at all.  Certainly wasn't on the Harmony TA.  People were VERY close to each other both in the Suite lounge and in Coastal Kitchen.

At least 30% of the seats are blocked off in every dining venue I've visited except MDR

 

CK, Chops, Giovanni,  Jammer

Seems tables  are blocked off on venues that allow non vaxed.  ( WJ, CK ) .  In the MDR, we were just inches from the next table.

That makes sense. And the TA may have been an all vaccinated voyage @Gracie115

The host stand for CK on Anthem is outside the door, so you can easily make reservations. Don't have to worry about not having key card access to the room.

There were NO seats blocked off in the Suite Lounge or Coastal Kitchen on the TA.  

 

Yes, in other venues there were tables blocked.
