Difficulty in Getting Table for Two

[cwis]

They split the 4-tops into 2-tops that are MAYBE a salad plate's width apart and labeled A and B.

I assume you are doing first seating? On second seating they spread more liberally. (source: our wait staff from previous cruises)

Nope. This was second seating. And no - other than maybe putting tables together for larger parties or possibly doing some separating, they are NOT removing entire tables between seatings. That's definitely a new one to try and bump up tips because of the extra work. If the second seating was "more spread out" during the second seating, it was because there were more tables of larger parties.

I always do second seating and even then they cannot guarantee private tables.

I have requested a private table on my last 2 cruises, the Magic and the Wish. Both were in the late dining, and both times it was not granted.

Dont rely on just the request, make sure to stop by with the dining tram upon boarding. Sometimes it hasnt been honoured but they still can make it happen. It all depends on the capacity of your sailing but I ve had times I got it after all ; sometimes I needed to change seating etc. I ve done 31 dcl sailings and barely any where they honored it based on my request on beforehand but only had one sailing where they couldnt make it happen when speaking to the dining team

What seating arrangements did you end up getting? Thx
