The funny thing is that the nicest people we meet are others that are at a table for 2, as they are usually doing so for the same reasons as we are.
Amen - we always sit alone, but invariably when we sit at the Captain's table (which we don't do anymore), there's some boorish couple that you can't seem to get away from the rest of the cruise, let alone that evening. I like meeting people in the bar or by the pool where you're not a captive audience. And yes, all the people we have met & enjoyed seem to mainly be those who sit on their own for dinner. I think it's great that there's people that enjoy sitting alone & those who are more gregarious & wanting to meet others for dinner - that's what makes us the world go round.
And I'm with ScottC, nothing better or more romantic than a room service dinner on your private veranda
