I had no problem booking a private table for my upcoming cruise.

Yes. All three DRs, same menu in all, have 2 seat tables. Read up on the new dining here on this site.

The only time there might be a wait for a 2 person table is during busy times until someone is finished, even if you have reservations.

We were recently on Ruby.   Had prebooked for 2 for 6 pm.   They were never able to honor reservation.   We’d show up and told it would be about an hour wait.  Guess the 6 pm time didn’t allow enough time for those eating early to finish.   Also limited number of 2 tops.  Most tables sat 6-8.   This may be resolved with new dining reservation system.  Starting mid September they will offer 3 dining options in 3. different dining rooms.   There will be fixed 2 seating traditional, make reservations or walk in without reservation.

That's the big problem with making reservations during a busy time if you only want a private table for 2- waiting for people to finish eating. 

If you don't mind eating with others it's a viable choice.

6pm is a difficult time to show up in any of the 3 DRs. The first wave show up between 5pm and 5:30pm filling most of the available tables. Early dining is very popular.

This past February/March on the Ruby theater show times were 7:30 and 9:00 or 9:30. Difficult to make the 7:30 shows when dining a 6pm.

If you arrive at the DR after 6PM it probably means that you'll be walking into a show after it's started and searching for 2 seats in the darkened theater. It might work for some performances but not for the production shows.

Not cool.

Don’t usually do the shows
