Table size request

Is it true (I always thought this could be done ahead of time) that we cannot request the size of table we want to sit at in the MDR? I know we cannot pick out who we sit with, but I thought the table size we could.

Yes, you can make a request by emailing the maître d' before you sail, or by going to the dining room after you board at the time posted in Fun Times.

Four days before sailing, post on John Heald's FB page and he will forward the request.

Do you have anytime dining or early/late dining? With anytime dining, you may make the request each night when you show up at the dining room. With early or late dining, you'll need to make your request to the maître d.

Thanks for your replies. We are doing late MDR.

I just made a request Sunday for our upcoming cruise Saturday on Magic and actually got a response back, totally surprised me.

This is why we like YTD so much. We can sit at a 2 top and have the same server, love it. We eat when we are hungry, not when we are told.

The last couple of cruises when we cruise with family we give the names of the guests we want to sit with and they have always accommodated our request. You can ask for a table for a certain number of guests.

On the other end, this is why I love early dining. Our 2 top is always there, we never have to wait to sit, and we have the same server. I am always hungry by that time!

I question when I heard people say they like YTD cause they can eat when they want not when they are told. But correct me if I am worng. When you go to request what time you want to eat. They give you the closest reservation they have. So if you want to eat at say 7:15. It may be 7:15, 7:30, 7:45 or who knows when you get a table. So please explain how you are eating when you want and not when you are told.

I don't where you heard this, there are no reservations. I am correcting you when your wrong. We just show up when we want and are seated, like a land restaurant.

How do you get the email address for the maître d?

But are you seated right away? Or is there a wait?

Most nights we get seated right away but occasionally we have had to wait 10-15 minutes. You can pick to sit by yourselves or you can request to sit at a table with others. Both types of dining are fine, it just depends on what you prefer.

depends when you eat, we eat around 8:30 and were seated immediately every night, same server
