When I sailed Seaside in 2019 there were two buffets, Marketplace on 8 and Biscayne Bay aft on 16.  Biscayne is a bit smaller, and if open would probably be less crowded, because many might not realize there are two buffets.  I don’t think anything else is open on embarkation.   I found Biscayne handy for breakfast.  EM

2. Any need to check dining table like on Royal? Have no idea what this means, HOWEVER, you can meet with the maitre d' on the first day during a posted window of time (2-3'ish) to check on your table assignment.

3. Can specialty dining be made all at one restaurant or each one individually?  You can do it in one place for all restaurants

4. Are boarding times strickly enforced? No

Thank you.

Some of the answers depend on if you are in YC or not. 

 

1. Best place for lunch boarding day on Seaside?  Unless you are in the YC then your only choice is the buffet on 8 or the buffet on 16

 

2. Any need to check dining table like on Royal?  Not unless your dining time is undesireable (time will be on your card)

 

3. Can specialty dining be made all at one restaurant or each one individually? Yes, there is a restaurant to set up your dining times and you can do them all at once.  

 

4. Are boarding times strickly enforced?  No
