In the last year I have done NCL Bliss, RCL Symphony, Celebrity Reflection and RCL Vision and on all of them I had to ask to set alone. At the first part of the cruises, they wanted to put me with others or at the least each of the solo people in tables for 2 next to each other. I had to ask to set alone so I could do dinner in 40 minutes and not the 2-hour dinner.
