Main Dinning Table Question

[Sam Cruise]

I would like to spend most of the dinner at the Main Dinning room, so I want to have a table can see the ocean. When or how they assign the tables? what is the best and smart way to request a table with ocean view?

Get your TA to put in a request for table at the side of the dining room with window? or if you booked direct you can send an e mail to princess

Depending on the time of year, your dining time, direction of travel, there is a good chance that the curtains in the dining room will be closed when you eat. Either the setting sun will bother people or it will be dark outside, so they draw the curtains.

Are you in traditional dining? We always choose the late seating, so the window is moot. Plenty of time during breakfast & lunch to score that wonderful view. We ask for the largest table & dinner is more social (and fun for us!) But, I would ask...what have you got to lose?

I don't know the time of year you are cruising, but in winter it gets dark early. Chances are it will be dark or getting dark even with first seating. And as another poster said, they often pull the curtains.

 

If you want to eat in the dining room and have a window view you would be better off requesting it at breakfast or lunch. And in case you are wondering, breakfast and lunch are "open seating". That means you could be seated anywhere in the dining room, but you could certainly request a table by the window.

See the MD when you board and he will attempt to accmodate you.

You don't say where or when you are sailing or when you expect to eat. In many cases, ocean views are not an issue.

If you sit at a table for two next to a window you can open the curtain yourself in the evenings.

Yes, we always have to have the sheers open. :D

Once the sun goes down the only thing you can see is the ship lights on the water off the back of the boat.
