Select - Tablefor2?

[jasm8449]

After 20 years with Celebrity, we want to try Select. 8:30pm dinner is too late for us now, but 6 is too early. We also found that tables for 2 which we always want and have had when we sail without friends/family, are so close together, they might as well be 4 tops.

 

What is the likelihood of getting a somewhat separate table for 2 around 7-7:30pm? Do such tables even exist?

Sailed on the Equinox this last May 2016 in Select dining. Never had a problem getting a table for two. There were a few times we had to wait about 15min but that's because the Hostess was trying to get us our favorite table for 2. You should be ok for 7-7:30 as that's when we also went for dinner.

Getting a table for 2 in Select Dining hasn't been a problems for us. The tables are, for the most part, very close together. There are a few tables that are have no one next to them but they are in less than ideal locations - walkway, next to waiters area.

Equinox- as I recall has many tables for two. But very few "true" tables for two. I say go survey the dining room on embarkation day. Determine the table numbers(write them down) that will be satisfactory to you, then request those tables each night. You may wait once in a while, but you will be a lot happier.

As noted, many of the tables for 2 are very close to each other. You can often ask to be seated in a quieter area of the dining room and sometimes the table next to you won't be filled. As noted, if you walk around, there are many places where you can often find a table for 2 that is a little more isolated because it is next to a wall, a divider or a column. so that at least on one side there is more distance to the next table.

Table for two? WHY?

 

My wife and I retired on the same day 12 years ago. When we now go on a cruise she says she wants a table with others so she can finally have an intelligent conversation. :)

As others have said, most of the tables for two are pretty close together, kind of like long banquet tables so you have the choice of saying hello or not but you are not waiting for a table to fill before you are served. The tables in the hallway by the doors to the kitchen are not my idea of fun so sometime, usually just once on a cruise, you just have to say no thank you to that idea. We always booked our dinner for around 7pm and only waited once in three cruises for a table and that was because we said no ...

You must have a good sense of humor.
