I have actually requested a table change twice, as opposed to,saying wistfully, ‘I suppose there’s not chance of a window?’ . In both cases it was on QM2, and in both cases I asked to be moved from a table we had had before and hated. The first time it was easy because lots of people were getting off in Hamburg, leaving lots of leeway, and we got given a window table. The second time, everyone wanted to move their table, often to be nearer the door, if they were not good walkers, so we got given a table we much preferred. On neither occasion was money proffered, nor did it strike me as a possibility, so I am clearly very naive.
