Can we get a table for two?

On the more upscale lines like Crystal, , Seabourn and such a table for two is usually no problem. It's on the mass market lines where this request is a little more difficult to confirm.

The newer ships (circa 1995 and later) are being built with more tables for two. We can never confirm a table for two, we can only request it. Table and Dining Assignments are made by the ship's Dining Coordinator who works in the cruise line's corporate office. This person makes the assignments 2 weeks prior to sailing and submits the list to the maitre'd the week before sailing. We make your request by submitting a letter to the Dining Coordinator 30 days before sailing, but it is your responsibility to remind us to do this for you. Again, we can't guarantee you'll get it, but we will make the request.

If you get on board and you didn't get a table for two, see the Maitre'd. Maybe he can do something for you if it's available.
