The general rule re allocaion of tables for 2 is that priority is given to early bookers in other words the earlier you book the cruise the better chance you have of a table of your choice

Interesting short review. I personally would never dream of having a table just for two, one of my cruising pleasures is for good social conversation and meeting intersting fellow cruisers. I would, however, particularly acknowledge, your right to a table for two, especially having paid for the Grills experience. Now for my little anecdote from my recent QM2 Princess Grill Trans Atlantic crossing. Not too far from our table for 6 was a row of 4 tables for two, with perhaps a gap of just over half a table width between each. Much to our tables amusement, all eight of smaller table occupants so enjoyed their combined company, that they held amazing conversations, all at raised levels in order to be heard the length of their row. The content of those conversations I am not at liberty to print, needless to say however, I guess should they return some day their seating preferences would be for larger tables. Enjoy the Baltic.

We had a similar experience this year. We enjoy company at dinner but usually eat breakfast and lunch in the buffet. This year we were seated at atable for six for dinner and as usual were a fairly mixed bunch ages between 30 something and 70 something (we are somewhere in the middle). The table next to our's was for two and was occupied by a very nice couple who spent most of their time talking to us. They had chosen a table for two - or he had - because on their last cruise they had a table for six and he was seated with five women. Poor chap or lucky chap depending on your point of view and the women in question! One evening he spent so much time talking to my husband his long suffering wife walked out on him. I'll bet they don't ask for a table for two again!

Perhaps we should set up a site space for such anecdotes, would beat questions on 'how not to tip' and 'how long does it take to get to Gibraltar'. Nice hearing from you, happy cruising. Richard
