I hesitated to say so, but we also made such a request. Personally, I'm pretty social and wouldn't care who we sat with. My husband on the other hand doesn't want to make chit-chat with strangers. Since it's just the two of us..who knows? We'll soon find out.
on both of our cruises it was 4 of us - DH, DD, DS and me.
there are tables for 4, so it wasn't a problem.
When you cruise concierge they will pretty much set you up at your own table unless you link dining or ask otherwise. Dh asked the dining room manager about this one cruise because we kept getting a table by ourselves but DH likes to meet new people. Only once has it been a bust as far as bad table mates.
we were concierge, but i specifically requested that we have our own table.
we weren't interested in tablemate roullette.
we would have enough of that during our hiking vacations. We would go on at least 2 week long hiking vacations each year. The dining hall had long 20 person tables, so there was no option for eating alone.
But we were all hiking people so there was that in common at the outset.
Funny now that i think about it, as the hiking vacations were the complete opposite of concierge - the rooms were these spartan cinderblock rooms with bunkbeds (each family had one room with only a bunch of bunkbeds in it) and the food was served family style - and not by family....just big serving dishes at various places along the table.
and we were up before dawn each morning, so we were out hiking before sunrise.
Great vacations. Perfect. Alas, the kids are now all grown up, so we haven't been on one in about 6 years. The kids now hike on their own.
but we did it at least twice a year for about 15 years. Starting when DS was 3 and DH was 5.
