Hi all, I've been a member of cruise critic for a little while, but mostly just browse. This is my first post (first of many, hopefully). I appreciate any help you can give me.
I will be taking a 7 night cruise on Empress of the Seas in January; my first Royal Caribbean cruise. My other 4 cruises have been on Carnival.This is also my first solo cruise. I am looking forward to stepping away from everything for a bit and just spending some time alone relaxing. So for me, I am wanting to go to dinner and sit by myself with a good book and just get lost with some delicious food and a glass of wine.
From reading other post I decided to go ahead and book My Time Dining Reservations online for the main dining room. That way I don't have a long wait each evening for dinner. When I book reservations will they assign me to a table or will they just wait til I get there and and allow me to request a table by myself. On my past cruises with Carnival we would show up, give our cabin number and could request a table for two. After a brief wait we were able to get a table. I just don't want to set up reservations if I am locking myself into being sat at a table with other diners.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti-people. I enjoy socializing; I just want some quiet time to myself this cruise.
