Any strategies for getting a table for 2 only?
We have unfortunately not enjoyed sharing the table on our last 4 cruises. Prior to covid, that was not the case. You could get some "interesting " people, but mostly amiable.
Its easier if there are 8 and you can just stay quiet, but then you are there upwards to 2.5 hours.
Its deadly if there are just 4 of us and the conversation starts with politics. If you object to that, it becomes even worse.
I have tried a variety of ways to prevent that from happening, none of them successful.
What was successful, is going to the Maître d' upon entering and explaining why we need to sit by ourselves.
