Icon5 Posted February 4, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I was woundering if you can request not to be seated in at a group table. We will be sailing on the breeze next month and would would like to have private table of 4 - Can I make the request/how? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauraezzell Posted February 4, 2013 #2 Share Posted February 4, 2013 If you have ATD/YTD you can request this each evening that you go to dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rirruto Posted February 4, 2013 #3 Share Posted February 4, 2013 If you are at assigned seating, you will have to ask the maître d' on the first day of the cruise and they will try and arrange it if possible. If you have anytime dining, you simply tell the hostess each night you want a table for 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbridedori Posted February 4, 2013 #4 Share Posted February 4, 2013 When my husband and I cruise alone we always ask TA for a Table for 2. Never has been a problem to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccruisequeen Posted February 5, 2013 #5 Share Posted February 5, 2013 When we book with our PVP we request a 4-top for the three of us. One time we were placed at a long table- we spoke to the MD and he moved us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted February 5, 2013 #6 Share Posted February 5, 2013 You cannot request by table size. You can write to JH and ask him to put in a request to the MD for table for two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaybear Posted February 5, 2013 #7 Share Posted February 5, 2013 E-mail your request to the MD at brmaitred@carnival.com. Include sailing date, booking and room number... Good Luck.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they displace people at another table and move you there? I can see requests being easier to fill with late dining compared to early. We did have a MD block the other seats in a booth for us once. It wasn't intentional, we just asked if anyone one else was coming so we knew if we should order or not...he said no and he'd make sure it was just us.

"Your Time Dining" - Go to MDR as soon as possible and ask for a table for two and they will tell you available times and tables. You can choose.

GTO-Girl Posted February 5, 2013 #13 Share Posted February 5, 2013 "Your Time Dining" - Go to MDR as soon as possible and ask for a table for two and they will tell you available times and tables. You can choose. We always have Your Time Dining and we have NEVER gone to the MDR upon boarding to request anything. When we go to dinner we simply tell them we want a table for two and we have never had a problem getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onthehighseas606 Posted February 5, 2013 #14 Share Posted February 5, 2013 When my husband and I cruise alone we always ask TA for a Table for 2. Never has been a problem to get. On our last cruise, we had any time dining and always requested a table for 2. It was wonderful to eat with DH and not have to eat with people that you don't know or even want to know. We've had some disastrous moments on past cruises and found ourselves eating in the buffet every night.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RainbowsMist Posted February 5, 2013 #16 Share Posted February 5, 2013 First cruise coming up, we are a party of 8 and have selected ATD. Do we just walk into the MDR and say table for 8 or is this something we need to prearrange? Thank you :-) Sent from my tablet using Tapatalk HD.

<3 2 Cruise Posted February 5, 2013 #17 Share Posted February 5, 2013 ATD, the hostess will ask for you cabin number, then seat you according to how many in your party. We are always a party of 2. BUT!!!!! The tables for 2 are about 4 inches from each other, so it is almost like sitting at a table with others. We have been very lucky on the past 2 cruises and really enjoyed being with the people that were in our cluster and always requested the same tables. If you happen to not like your seat, next night when you check in, just ask to be seated in another area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlktx49 Posted February 5, 2013 #18 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Our TA always arranges it that we are seated with the other people we cruise with, from 2 others to 4. We like that, have late dining. I don't know how she does this, but it's one of the reasons I prefer to have a TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
askimdog Posted February 5, 2013 #19 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Our first two cruises we used the MDR for breakfasts 1/2 the time and for all evening meals. The last cruise we stopped using the MDR after 2 breakfasts and one evening meal ( we are just skipping MDR for the most part on future cruises~ just too many issues we have had). BUT...we have always asked for a table of 3 EVERY time on our 3 cruises for the 3 of us. We prefer NOT to sit with strangers. We have gotten are request EVERY time. The are VERY accomodating in that respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucks724 Posted February 6, 2013 #20 Share Posted February 6, 2013 You cannot request by table size. You can write to JH and ask him to put in a request to the MD for table for two Quick. Everyone send your personal requests to John Heald. I'm sure he has NOTHING better to do than get you a table that you don't have to share. Seriously, just talk to the Maitre'd before, or call your PVP and request a private table. I'm sure someone can take care of it. John has a job to do, and it's not to help people get tables and free bottles of cheap champagne because you stubbed your toe on the last cruise.
