Missed this post earlier,

Did the maiden Transatlantic loved the ship.

In the main dining rooms you can ask to share, and probably in the specials as well we met up with people and shared that way,

You don't need to book but at peak times can geta wait, you get a pager and go for a drink. and if you eat early or late you can usualy get into the specials without booking but for them it is better to book.

Tepenyaki/shusi should be available lunch days at sea.

Try to eat at them all if you can, had the BEST steak in years.
