QV Dining

[cruiseonly]

On my Voyage Personaliser it reads "Dining Requested: Britannia Rest/First Seating - Status Confirmed.

 

We requested a table for 2. Should that not be noted on the Voyage Personaliser.

 

Also I read in the options that we can request the Britannia upper restaurant. Would that be better than downstairs.

on past voyages with cunard QE2 & QM2 on the personaliser near the diningroom info it stated 2/2 or 4/2 or 6/2 meaning the size of the table and the the number of seats your cabin has at theat table. I'm surprised they havent done that on the QV

 

perhaps they have not given you a table assignment yet! call cunard or you travel agent to confirm your previous request and current status. bon voyage

Thanks for reply. Will have TA call and check it out.

Don't think you can take much for granted as regards table setting numbers although from what we found you're more likely to get what you wanted on first sitting. We asked for table of 8 on our Christmas cruise and had a table for four instead. There were also a number of smaller tables at late sitting probably because they wanted to make the dining room more busy than have everyone huddled together on big tables. From what folk said those downstairs seemed to think it was better than upstairs but we were quite happy with our upstairs position. Remember when you get there and it isn't to your liking you can always ask for a change. We know folk who did and the staff managed to help them out. Enjoy your cruise.

Sorry- wrong button...:p

Again thanks for info.

 

We booked over a year in advance, so I hope we do get a table for 2

I'm not sure what the criteria are for dining assignments. However the essential point to grasp is that shoreside (who run the personaliser) don't have any input into it.

 

It is the restaurant management who do it on board.

 

Officially the personaliser is a request only. Also remember that some people will have spoken to the restaurant beforehand, and that their reservations will be unknown to shoreside, yet will take priority.

 

The restaurant's aim is to make everyone happy. So your first job when arriving on board is to look at your table reservation - if you're happy, fine. Go and look at the table if you don't know the ship. If you are not go immediately to the restaurant and speak to the Maitre'D. If it is possible, he will help.

 

Bribes are neither necessary or classy.

How true! I find that a quick introduction, followed by a request-with-a-smile, works every time...

The only way you will get a table for two on QV is to give the maitre d a $20.00 bill. We up in the Lido. Could not get a table for two. Lots of luck. No matter where you sit, the waiters and the food are terrible. GK

Not really. They tried tacky bribing and it didn't work. All sounds right in the world from here.

 

PS: See? Got terrible food and service as punishment.

Ah ha. I noticed you said "running". He's one of those, is he? Just think how fit you will be chasing after him by the time he finds walking is good enough! :)

 

And I have a difficult time believing anyone is cuter than Itty, but if you say so.......
