Request Table for Two

[RogueMonk]

Is there a way to request a private table during dinner in the dining room? Can that be done ahead of time? Thanks!

Yes, if you have traditional dining- email the request to rcldining@rccl.com. If you have MTD, ask for such a table at the host podium.

Your same post appears in the next page also.  I think it was answered now.

Good information send the request no more than two weeks before cruise date.

 

You will probably get a standard reply within 24 to 48 hours followed by confirmation.

They just emailed us with our 2 top location for next week!  I have the table #. They aim to please!

[Carlos A.]

I have sent two emails to that address, none of them have been answered. Too bad.

RCLDINING@RCCL.COM <RCLDining@rccl.com>  Yep that's correct, they emailed me right away, that's unusual....are you sure you asked for traditional seating?  They won't assign a table if you're listed as MTD...as Biker said you must do that when boarding.

Just eat at the large group table...

And...to add some color commentary onto @Biker19...

Dear B,

Thank you for contacting the Royal Dining Department. Unfortunately it is too early for your table request at this time as the ship begins seating guests 30 days prior to sailing. Please contact us again at rcldining@rccl.com at 30 days prior to sailing and we will be able to forward your table request to the ship for processing. We look forward to welcoming you onboard!


Thank you and kindest regards,
Royal Caribbean Dining Administration

We make the request with our TA and confirm it once we are onboard.  We've have always received a table for 2 the times that we've requested one.

Why? Seems like OP wants a table for two.

We always request it, although not prior to sailing, but when entering MTD MDR.

Thanks everyone. I emailed and will also confirm when we first get on board.

 

Sorry about the duplicate posts!

We had MTD and made the email request.  Although they could not give us our table number, when I stopped at the MDR, they had it in the system already.

Not sure how RCI is handling MDR seating.  My sister just got off Celebrity Edge last week and she was told that due to covid, seating could not be shared with "strangers", just with your travel party or friends you request to be seated with ahead of time.   My sister said there were more than the usual amount of 2-tops. I wonder what single cruisers do.

They bring a good book to dinner.

Aboard the Brilliance last week.

Anytime Dining booked.

Onboard reserved dining times on theApp.

Received the same Table for 2 every night.

Followed advice above and received notification of our table assignment for 2 today for an upcoming cruise on Odyssey.  Now I just have to figure out where table 436 is!!!

[BonTexasNY]

Someone once posted that their cruise was waitlisted for both times in MDR AND MTD.  He was told there would be openings close to sail date.  I had never heard of that before.

Table for two on Wonder of the Seas

Email again and ask for the table layout for Odyssey.

That appears to be closer than what i remember on the allure.

Most people couldnt squeeze through that slit .

I hope there is access for the table on the left on the other side.

[sowhat]

When are tables  for two not a table for two?

[foodsvcmgr]

Certainly not a setup conducive to discussing nuclear secrets but it still is preferable to a large table in that while you are free to converse with your neighbors you are not obligated to do so.

[YadaYadaJodi]

So how specific can you get in your request? Can I request a table for two along the rail? On an upper deck 4 or 5 by the rail for early dining (on Allure). Too specific? Too entitled?

Any other location requests to avoid tables so close we couldn't fit through? 😆 DH not that social...

[BecciBoo]

Absolutely, always get a 2 top at the windows.  If we are sailing alone, we have always requested one and so far we have always been given a great table.  Sometimes they have been rather closely situated but we don't let it bother us.
