terri1020 Posted May 2, 2009 #1 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Leaving May 24 on the CB. My dh and I are traveling alone and would love to have a table for 2. Does anyone know if this is possible? We are late seating. Thanks, Terri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrysalis Posted May 2, 2009 #2 Share Posted May 2, 2009 yes, and since you are in traditional dining, you should be requesting that in your reservation (and should have been asked that when you made your reservation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terri1020 Posted May 2, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Thanks! Should I ask my TA to make this request or should I be doing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrysalis Posted May 2, 2009 #4 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Thanks! Should I ask my TA to make this request or should I be doing it? If you booked through a TA, then you must request the change thru the TA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarlenna Posted May 2, 2009 #5 Share Posted May 2, 2009 There are only so many tables for 2 on the ship. If you can't get one, you can change to "anytime" and get one that way. You will have to wait unless you go very early, but tables for 2 are possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terri1020 Posted May 2, 2009 Author #6 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Thanks everyone! I just sent an email off to my TA. Hopefully he can put the request in and we can have our table for 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custompcsys Posted May 2, 2009 #7 Share Posted May 2, 2009 If you do end up chaning to anytime dining to get your table for 2, the most I had to wait on the CB was about 15 minutes, even at prime time. They will give you a pager and you can go for a drink or wander around the atrium shops until your table is ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terri1020 Posted May 3, 2009 Author #8 Share Posted May 3, 2009 TA put in the request and he told me to check as soon as we board. I would LOVE to try anytime dining but my dh has special diatery needs. I'm afraid anytime would make it difficult for his menu to follow us. Any experience with anytime dining and special diatery needs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffinjersey Posted May 3, 2009 #9 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Terri - once you get on the ship check the dining room right away and make sure you have a table for two. Last time I went traditional - I called Princess and requested a table for 2, I faxed Princess and asked for a table for 2, I emailed the ship and asked for a table for 2, I told the cab driver I wanted a table for 2, I told perfect strangers that I wanted a table for 2, so EVERYONE knew I wanted a table for 2. I drop my stuff in my cabin - walk over to the dining room and there it is - Table 418 - a table for 10 right near the door and the bussing station. If it turns out that you have a larger table - the maître d' will be holding court somewhere on the ship to discuss dining changes. Get on line - and have a $20 bill palmed (ok so I bribe him do get my table - but I'm from Las Vegas - it is what we do here) As an FYI - this also works with the head waiter in anytime dining - make a reservation the first night - when you show up make sure you stall enough so the head waiter seats you. When you shake hands slip him a $5. The 2nd night - watch how fast you get a table for 2 in anytime - people will be told 1/2 hour to 45 minutes - I usually get a table in under 5 minutes.
