Personally, I can do without it. It always seems a bit demeaning to those who participate in it. There are plenty of other entertainment venues on the ship.
Great review, Ed. We have never tried anytime dining, and probably won't in the future. We have always been very satisfied with the late seating in Traditional. Glad you enjoyed the cruise.
They make bags that you get the air out by rolling the bag. We use them to pack out dirty laundry when we return from as cruise. It makes extra room to bring home the souvenirs. That way, we don't need a second bag.
