My Dad and I have sailed as 2 many times. We have requested a table alone 2 out of 4 cruises. The 2 cruises we requested, we got the table alone. One of the cruises we didn't request, Disney gave us a table alone without asking. The other time, we were at a 6-top table with 2 couples + my Dad and I. 3 of the 4 cruises, we booked late enough that we were scheduled for late dining, but I have always changed to the early seating when we board the ship. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. My Dad and I are on a cruise this summer and we requested a table alone at the early seating. We will see if that request is granted.
