I have just returned from a nice cruise on Sky Princesss but although we used the app and were confirmed as the same time every night for a shared table (with strangers NOT RELATIVES) we were advised they did not do shared tables "as No one wanted them" not true as we spoke with many who would have loved to chat to others while dining but were not offered this choice.
I do HOPE that Princess reads these forums to bring back at least half of one dining room for sharing tables as we had so many great friends over the years from our table companions and they are stilll friends. We are due on the Magestic Princess in January and do hope to have a shared table to meet friends we have not yet met.
If sharing is ot you choice please do not 'heckle' at me this thread is my feelings and to ascertain how many cruisers would still like to share.
