eswort Posted July 7, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Just booked our first cruise in over 10 years, in the past the first thing we always did when we got on board was go to the MDR and see if we could be switched to a table for 2, anyone know if this is this still possible?

dodgestang Posted July 7, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Depends on the boat I would say....plenty of 2 person seating in the MDR on Grandeur....although....they do tend to be 'very close' to the table of 4 next to it....since it is just pulled away about 12 inches from a 6 person table 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bestbubba Posted July 7, 2019 #8 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Alternatively, switch to MTD and go for dinner at 8.30 each night. Or you can make MTD reservations on your cruise planner before you board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your table number should be printed on your Seapass card that you will get when you board - if I were you, go straight to the MDR to find your table and see how many it’s for, then if it’s more than 2 and you want to switch to a 2, go and see the maitre d or guest services 😊 Happy Cruising!

MrsHFQ Posted July 7, 2019 #10 Share Posted July 7, 2019 It's one of the first things we do when we get on board - go to the MDR and sort our table for 2 . Yes, the tables are close together, but it's still nicer to have a table to ourselves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted July 7, 2019 #11 Share Posted July 7, 2019 On a related subject, we always ask for a "two top"...table for two in the MDR for breakfast and lunch as well. And are always granted that request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't mind having some conversation with table close by if we choose to (and we often do, particularly if the same people are at the adjoining table night after night) but don't want to feel as if we have to make polite conversation because we are sat at the same table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We eat much before anyone else would if they ordered from the menu and had to wait (and sometimes that wait can be quite long). Always felt funny to "eat and run" when we get seated at a larger table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karena1 Posted July 7, 2019 #15 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Hence why we do MTD, never make reservations, just go when we feel like it. Always get a table for 2, no issue 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't beat the Tutti Salad for lunch on sea days (especially when you have had a lie in and missed breakfast!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
