PPPJJ-GCVAB Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 Glad you started this topic! Not sure why I was waiting to send my own request but your post reminded me that I needed to do so…which I also did today! Already got my reply that they are working on it WAAAYTOOO and CanHardlyWait 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tables get rearranged every sailing based on the size of the parties. So a "specific location" would be something like 4th floor, near the railing, away from the entrance.

OCSC Mike Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 I usually ask for a 2-top, by a window if possible. I don't care what window and it's not really a big deal if we even get a window, we just want a 2-top, but since I'm already bothering to make a request, I figure I might as well. I wouldn't bother being more specific than that but to each their own. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SplashOfWater Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 If you have mobility issues you can also request an "easy access" table. They are typically close to the MDR entrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't bother being more specific than that but to each their own. I’ve never even thought about requesting location…just the 2-top. Now I will definitely add on window or edge near railing. I hated being smooshed in between a bunch of other 2 -tops. They might just as well sat us together they were that close.

Jane No guarantee you get what you ask for of course but no harm in trying. I know the 2-top rows you're talking about and I get it. Last cruise (Wonder in March) we were one 2-top removed from a window (after my request) so it was kind of like being at a 4-top with another couple but fortunately they were nice and we got along and chatted for a while. mom2mybugs and PPPJJ-GCVAB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane I think a lot of people ask for window. Near railing, in a corner, on the end of a row, banquet half booth/chair, etc are all probably easier to get. If you are a large person "on the end of a row" help's to not have to fit between 2 tables close together to get to your seat.

JohnK6404 Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago I believe the recommendation is 2-3 weeks prior to boarding. We e-mailed and requested a table for 2 by a window almost 2 weeks ago (we sail 5/11)... of course I mentioned it's our 20th wedding anniversary. Had to pour it on just in case it helps! You'll receive a confirmation e-mail and they just confirm that they forwarded your request to your ship's dining room team for further handling... fingers-crossed! As already mentioned, make sure you state the ship name and sail date in the subject line of your e-mail request! mom2mybugs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
