I always choose to do My Time Dining. I find that we can get in and out quickly. We are not a fan of long drawn out meals. So I made 5:30pm reservations for the three of us. I was nervous that my son would be cranky having to sit through a meal on a cruise at this age.
We made our way to the dining room and were the second people seated. The first people were a couple with a baby as well. As soon as we approached the table our wait staff greeted us then went to get a high chair. They were back in under a minute. One had the high chair, another had a bowl of fruit! They gave the bowl of fruit to my son as soon as we sat down.
What a great idea. They know how to keep kids busy and prevent a fuss!

My mother and I studied the menu and found close to nothing we wanted. The last time I sailed on Royal Caribbean was when I was 6 months pregnant on the Liberty in November of 2012. This was just before the menus began to change. I really enjoyed the old menus. I felt like there was a good variety of choices and there was something I would be excited for each night (Sopa de Tortilla, warm chocolate cake, Indian dishes, etc). Now I struggled to find something to eat on most nights of this cruise. I found that 50% of the menu was seafood, which I don't eat. The only chicken dish was the same one each night, marinated grilled chicken breast. Cold soups (blegh, they all taste like applesauce!) The pasta almost always had seafood in it unless I wanted regular spaghetti, and so on. I know a lot of people like the new menu, but I don't which is disappointing because we love to cruise on Royal. The lack of chocolate or decadent desserts was also very disappointing.
One thing I do like is having the bread on the table. No more tracking down the waiter for more. Although I'd like more savory bites to be included. My mom let me have hers so I could have two each night
My son on the other hand devoured his spaghetti with meat sauce!

We were in and out of dinner in about an hour. Our waiter and his assistant were very nice. They kept my son busy by playing peek a boo with him, feeding him, etc. The dining room was slow this early which was to our benefit. I was so fearful of dinner and it turned out to be painless! On our way out we asked the hostess to make sure we could be seated with the same waiters for the rest of the cruise.
