Requesting a table for two

Hello! I requested a table for two when I called to book our cruise. I know that there is a chance I might not get it because they are limited.

How many of you have requested a table for two and actually gotten it?
I'm also woried that since I requested it we won't get our dinner time I requested. So far on all cruises we have gotten all times we requested. I don't have a problem sitting with people i don't know (I actaully still talk to a couple from a previous cruise), but just for this one i was hoping it will work out.

How many of you have/haven't gotten times/table requests like you wanted? And how hard is it to change it?

I have never requested a table for two because we always request a large table in order to have lots of dinner companions.

I do know that on the newer Carnival ships there are a lot more smaller tables than I have seen on other ships. When we were on Carnival Miracle we had a table for two although we didn't even request it.

I'd say your chances are pretty good.

We always request a table for two when booking (late seating), and get it automatically about 50% of the time. If you don't get what you want from the beginning, see the Maitre D' at the first possible opportunity.

Usually they are set up on embarkation day to handle changes and special requests. Go see them early, be real nice, and they will be able to accommodate you. I believe this is first come, first serve, so it's our first stop upon boarding if need be.

Also, if your table-mates don't suit you on the first night, you can hunt down your Maitre D' during the first full day and get some remedy. In some cases a $20.00 bill will solve just about anything, but many times they have refused it. If you have/get a special request, make sure to reward them at the end of the voyage on tip night.

Hope this helps and good luck!

We always ask for a table for 2 at time of booking. Almost never get it. So I go to the matre'd as soon as we board and he takes care of it no problem!! Viet
