Biaggio Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 Transatlantic cruise coming up in a month. Can we request a table for two prior to boarding? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottD Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 email rcldining@rccl.com and give them your name, ship\sailing date and any request you have. Chances are you'll be seated with just whoever you're sailing with, anyway- but doesn't hurt to put the request in. Then when you board, go to the dining room and find your table and if it's NOT what you want, just ask the head waiter and they'll help you RCIfan1912, cedricmr and Bazza 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got this before, but apparently that was pretty rare. In any case, you should be fine! Enjoy the trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattycruise Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 Check with the main dining room when you board the ship to ensure you have what you want. If you wait for dinner time there will be lines and worse, they may not be able to accommodate you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last summer on the Harmony we sent the email requesting the table for two and got the same reply. When we got our room keys we noticed it said My time dining with no table number (we had early since original booking). They told us our email requesting the table dropped us from early dining so we were told we would have to wait in line every night at 6:30 for a table in the no reservation line. They were annoyed we had made the email request and said people need to stop doing it because it was causing conflicts- they said we shouldve requested when booking. I was shocked. After complaining to a different head waiter the next day they were able to assign us the same table at 6:15 for the remaining days. I think as the ships fill up- requesting will become very difficult. Pattycruise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not an option when doing it online. But when I booked my last cruise and called, they asked Private or shared dining and if we had any special events to celebrate RCIfan1912 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need2cruz Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 I had a not so good experience w/ my last email request for a table. We were going on a cruise w/ a party of 8 w/ 4 rooms. I wanted us at a table for 8 near the window. When I said "near the window", this got prioritized. We were seated at 2 tables for 4 next to the window. The window view were beautiful, but we couldn't talk to each other and didn't even have the same wait staff. We did go to the main dining room right at 11am after boarding, but the head waiter told us, because the cruise was full he couldn't move us to a table for 8.

We are a family of 4 and switched to traditional dining because MTD is not worth the hassle anymore. I then 2 days later emailed him about requesting a table just for us and he replied, already did that for ya. That's a good TA in my book.

I booked Allure fairly last minute (about a month out, leaving in 10 days). All that was showing available at the time was MTD. The next day my TA e-mailed me to say we had been switched to traditional and he requested a 2-top. I only asked him for traditional but he knows our preferences.

Yup, that's when I know I had a good one and booked 2 more with him. He's great, he explains anything I ask him in detail. He has given great advice too on things.
