icf75 Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 Am I right in thinking that with traditional dining I can't guarantee a certain table size? Is this only possible with MTD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexanTwoStep Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 No, it's definitely possible. Just go to the MDR on the first day (we usually do it upon boarding) and request the table size you want. Most of the time, they're happy to honor your request icf75, ChessE4 and Ryan79 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPS Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 Also, if you want a specific table size (2ppl, 4ppl, etc.), you can call and have it added to your reservation. icf75 and ChessE4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianB Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 I do early dining and always go to the MDR as soon as I board to make sure I have the time and table size I want. Usually, if I pre-purchase a specialty restaurant, I find that I have been re-assigned to My Time…even though I requested early dining and it actually says it on my reservation confirmation. But when I go to the restaurant host desk as soon as I board, they take care of it. If I wait until I get my room card when the cabins are ready in the afternoon, that’s when I’ll see the MTD listed on my card and when I get to the host, there’s not many assigned small tables left…if any.

We now call well ahead to arrange the table pre-cruise as @SPSÂ suggested (we also link other MDR reservations and provide number of total guests if we're traveling with other parties). This way the table number is accurate on your SeaPass card AND you are less likely to wind up potentially with a less desirable table location in the MDR (since you won't be stuck with whatever tables are still available and unassigned upon boarding).

ScottD Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 I had luck emailing rcldining@rccl.com about 90 days prior to my sailing and requested my table size. They emailed me a few days later with a picture of my table number, dining room number and table size. khynzelman, JohnK6404, icf75 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
