Solo Travel on Star Clipper Ships

[taphappy]

Hello,

 

I booked the Royal Clipper in December RT Barbados which has open meal seating. I wonder about how to increase the chance of joining a table of fellow passengers for dinner on a relatively small ship.

 

When I cruised Windstar, I found that eating breakfast or lunch with fellow passengers happened organically.

 

But at dinner time it was harder which led to "table for one", even when there was a crew member directing passengers where to sit. Like me, those traveling solo didn't stick to a set schedule for dinner.

 

I am okay eating alone, but I enjoy hearing about the adventures of fellow passengers over dinner without feeling like a third wheel.

 

Any suggestions or observations based on your experience on the Clipper ships - solo or not?
