Firedobber Posted July 4, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Wondering how tables are allocated to guests in the QG restaurant? Thank you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exlondoner Posted July 4, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Prestige of cabin and order of booking, allegedly. But I’ve known Q6s who booked late be next to the window, so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMac1953 Posted July 4, 2023 #3 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Q1's and Q2's turn right on entering. Regular and well known travellers tend to get looked after best. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish. After years of booking Q4s and occasionally Q3s, and always being polite, we have never yet secured a table adjacent to the window.

Some well known repeaters turn right too but the window tables on the right turn, are usually 1s and 2s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnip eater Posted July 4, 2023 #8 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Hmmmm. At Christmas, we met someone who said he’d seen money change hands, so he joined in. We never saw this happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pear Carr Posted July 4, 2023 #12 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Our first trip on QV was in QG6 in 2019 - 2 week Baltic cruise. We were unhappy with our allocated centre table for 2 at the embarkation lunch. Had a word with the Maitre’d on leaving and the rest of the cruise we turned right and had a lovely window table!

Obviously, well knowners do occasionally sneak in! 😄 Edit I did read a comment a few years ago from a member who was disgusted with the position of their window table, which was slightly amusing as it was the favoured table of a world cruise Q1'er Can't please 'em all!

I can understand this Victoria2. Maybe the whole "combo compromise" of table position and waiting team for that particular table played a part in his / her choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a little experience with the wait staff on Victoria and not one, in my experience, comes up short. That's short in customer service, not stature! 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exlondoner Posted July 4, 2023 #18 Share Posted July 4, 2023 They’re all slim though, so they can fit between the furniture. I think people are more likely to be unhappy with their tables in the oddly shaped dining room on QM2. Even those with window tables want to move because they don’t like people walking past and looking in. This can provide an opportunity for those who don’t mind.

The tables for 2 do look rather close in certain areas of the restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can think of one or two members of staff who do not fit the slim tag, at all. Luckily, they manage, as do quite a few passengers! 🙂 QM2, yet another reason to give her a miss.

Rare NE John Posted July 4, 2023 #21 Share Posted July 4, 2023 On PG on QM2 there was plenty of room between tables and the window seat is not a big deal in terms of those walking on Prom Deck. We were one table away from the window and I noticed few walkers looking in. Areas of the King’s Court buffet and specialty restaurants have the same views from the Prom Deck walkers too. I thought these window seat/looking in and close table issues would be a problem and they weren’t. Throughly enjoying our PG restaurant space.

I think the PG does have fewer tables than QG, so a little more space. I have never minded passers-by or close tables, but some people do. Mind you I have never had a table next to a loudmouth who smelt. 🙂 Edited July 4, 2023 by exlondoner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techteach Posted July 4, 2023 #23 Share Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) In QG on QM2 with a window table for 2 now in Boston. A few people look in as they walk past but have never stopped nor stared. DH and I discussed the width between tables since we talk about it here once. We have 14 to 16 inches between our table and the next.

Covepointcruiser Posted July 6, 2023 #24 Share Posted July 6, 2023 On the QM2, there is a shade that can be pulled down if you would like and have a window table. I have also seen privacy dividers put next to a table by the window. There must have been a celebrity who didn’t want other passengers staring.

ratflinger Posted July 6, 2023 #25 Share Posted July 6, 2023 We had a window table on our last crossing. It was nice, sure people were walking by but no one was rude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
