That's exactly what I ask for. For my upcoming cruise I added a request for deck 5. We were on deck 4 in March and decided we'd rather avoid the casino if possible (our cabin is forward). We can also avoid the mob of MTDiners waiting outside the deck 4 entrance as we're leaving early seating this way. Not a big deal of course, we can always cross on the promenade and walk down a deck or two, but since I was requesting the table anyway, figured no reason not to add to the deck request. In all honesty, as long as we have a 2-top, we really don't care where we're seated.
