Yes

 

Plan your dining time in advance, both usually have long waits

Perhaps my reservation ? should have been as follows: do you make a reservation ahead (as for Steakhouse) or do you check-in on the App?

Check in on app, but there's usually a wait of 45 minutes +/-

Very good to know, will plan accordingly, ty.

If you’re an early diner and you check in right when they open, you usually get only a 10 minute wait.

Does the same apply to both Chibang! and Cucina?

Yes, that was my experience.  Just have your Hub app ready to go and request a table as soon as they open.

Yes, as long as you have your time dining.

Those with YTD can request a table on the app; those with assigned dining (Early/Late) can not request a table until 8:00.

...And if you have set-time dining you can still dine at either location for free, but you have to wait until 7 pm?  7:30 pm? before reserving on the Hub app.

I think it was a bit earlier than 8 pm, but reports on CruiseCritic have varied.

Yeah, even if it’s earlier they’ll still be behind those already checked in. No problem if the venues aren’t backed up. We had YTD on Celebration Christmas 8 day and only went once, to Cucina.
