Thanks for the topic.
Pre-covid, I went on a Carnival cruise and met some incredible people by sharing tables. As a solo cruiser, it made the cruise awesome. We even planned our mealtimes to continue sharing,
The next year I went on Royal C, and it was like they didn't know how to do it. They kept putting me off in a corner by myself even though I was asking to share.
I'm looking g forward to a Carnival cruise now, and am excited to see it's happening again.
