We made a last minute booking on the Constellation for April 19th. There was only late dinner seating available and we're on the wait list for the early seating. We plan to talk to the maitre d when we first get onboard. Would a tip help our cause? If so, what would be appropriate?

After the maitre 'd helps you a tip at the end of the cruise would be appropriate. A tip before the maitre 'd has a chance to help you is known by another name - bribe.

Yes, I realized that but didn't know if it was something that would be expected.......

If your ship is really full, it will be very hard to get first (main seating). Here's a tip. As soon as you board get your dining assignment card and go to where ever the Maitre'D is set up. There will be along line of people. Ask those in line if anyone has first seating and wants second seating. If you find someone, ask if you can pair up and see the maitre'D together. he will then swictch you both.

Great idea, Frank Black. I wish we'd thought of it the one time we didn't get the sitting we wanted.

Have a great cruise, Popsec. It's great to see you on another board besides our usual CC board!
