What should we request for dining?

[foolish-mortal]

I've never made a dining request before, other than a private table. But I think I'm going to for our upcoming Destiny cruise. It's just my husband and I and we are probably not going to Pride Lands. We really really don't enjoy dinner shows. When we went to Arendelle on the Wish it was awful. So noisy and chaotic. We couldn't even hear or servers. We don't enjoy the singing during our meal - it's just not our thing. I wish we could go to 1923 every night. So, I want as much 1923 as possible, and as little Pride Lands as possible. We are lukewarm about Marvel - but fine with it overall. Our sailing is 5 nights. I don't want to make it a complicated request. I was thinking of just requesting 1923 at least twice?? Other suggestions for what to request?? I can't plan Palo for any Pride Lands nights since I don't know my rotation ahead of time.

Side note - just give us a freaking buffet or quiet dining option that's already included - not Palo and not eating room service on my bed, DCL.

Thanks!

one night is pirate night so you are going to get all three once and 2 of the three twice but one is pirate night. Maybe ask to start and finish at 1923? You could do 1923 for lunch on Prideland night and just hit the Festival of food on pool deck. You can tell which night is pirate night from the BBB makeovers.

If your top priority is minimizing dinners at Pride Lands, just ask for a rotation that visits Pride Lands only once. That’s the simplest option, and it will also put you in 1923 at least twice.

If you just ask for 1923 twice, you could also end up in Pride Lands twice depending on how rotations work out.

I think you can request a table by a window or a quiet table.
You can always do sit down lunch then pool deck dinner.

I pick the “window” one. (Two of us). Really no windows anymore. Don’t get it exact, but the locations have been great! Last cruise, table mates bailed on their own. Never got to meet them. Table to ourselves talking with a great young family next table over, entire cruise. (We do first seating now & love it).

I thought the quick service options were closed during dinner and only the pizza window stayed open?? That's great if they're open during dinner.

Heads up based on your user name: the Haunted Mansion Parlor is closer to empty the later it gets. In the evenings (I can't remember exactly when, might be 9PM) children aren't allowed in. So for us, the later dinner seating meant we finished dinner and could go hang out in the parlor without any wait or trouble.

It may be different on each sailing, but we had the Grill is open later, maybe 9. I believe the bbq and tacos close at 6. Pizza closes and then reopens. Not perfect but still options.
Pub is an up charge but more reasonable then Palo. Room service can be carried up to the pool deck.
