lelalenore Posted December 30, 2009 #1 Share Posted December 30, 2009 We have a group of 12 going on the Ecstasy in Feb. I wonder if there is a dining room table that big or if we are going to have to be split up? Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candigirl41 Posted December 30, 2009 #2 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I have never seen larger than 10 but I might be wrong. Candi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisenwithchris1 Posted December 30, 2009 #3 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I am almost positive, that we had a table for 12 on the Paradise a few months ago. It was the Captain's table....but we had no Captain at the table.... Happy Cruisen Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogi2929 Posted December 30, 2009 #4 Share Posted December 30, 2009 We had 12 on the Paradise. We were split into 2 tables of 6. We rotated our seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgerrish Posted December 30, 2009 #5 Share Posted December 30, 2009 We squeezed 13 chairs around our table so we could sit together. Our Maitre de was great as well as our waiter. We were on the upper level on the Freedom and were set so the waiters could still get around and do their job. It won't hurt to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcat1 Posted December 30, 2009 #6 Share Posted December 30, 2009 We had a table for 13 on the Liberty last summer. It was crowded, but the staff did a great job with our group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The largest listed are ten tops....Have you asked your TA to link you together to try to work out 12 people at a 10 top ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long table with six per side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lelalenore Posted December 30, 2009 Author #9 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I thought the largest I had ever seen was a 10 top, but it sounds like 12 can be done. We booked directly through Carnival.com. Actually, we have our #11 & #12 booking next week, so I guess after they are officially booked I was call and see if we can work out a 12 top! Thanks for the responses! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcruisers Posted December 30, 2009 #10 Share Posted December 30, 2009 We have a group of 12 as well going on the Miracle tomorrow! I booked thru PVP and was told they do have rectangular tables for 12. We, however, opted for 2 round tables and rotate so we can talk to everyone. When we have a rectangular table for 12, we can only talk to those right next to us. Some ships, I was told by PVP, have seating for up to 8. Have fun on your cruise!

Donnask8pro Posted December 30, 2009 #11 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Spirit class ships can seat 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted December 30, 2009 #12 Share Posted December 30, 2009 argh-- i cant imagine squeezing 12 people at a 10 person table unless most of those are children-- can you imagine the conversations? -- I would take two tables of 6 and rotate out each night for the week.

dobiemom Posted December 30, 2009 #13 Share Posted December 30, 2009 In fixed seating the wait staff does so well knowing your preferences almost immediately. So my question is, does rotating tables mess up the waiters? Or would both tables have the same waiters? I'll be with a large group in June and was just wondering.

serene56 Posted December 30, 2009 #14 Share Posted December 30, 2009 It really would depend on where the tables are- On the Liberty we had 3 tables of 6 each- each tabke had a seperate waiter since the waiters took care of the booths- our table and the table beside us. The waiters had no trouble adjusting to our moves each night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbalthaser66 Posted December 30, 2009 #18 Share Posted December 30, 2009 We had a round table for 12 on the Freedom in November. Hey Beach Bum, we are a party of 22 traveling together on the Freedom in June 2010. If we have 2 tables of 12 or 1 table for 12 and 1 table for 10 - do you think we would end up having the same waiter? We would want to rotate tables so each of us can spend some time with each other - it is a large 50th Wedding Anniversary surprise for my In-laws. Do you have any advice on how to make this work?

Muumuu Posted January 1, 2010 #19 Share Posted January 1, 2010 On the Legand and the Miracle there is a side dining room separate from the main. We were seated in there once and along the back is a very long table which can be adjusted for seatting large groups. Never knew about this until we were assigned to it. Cannot see or hear any of the entertainment. It is labled as an annex and is between the Barcchus dining room deck 2 and Jeeves Lounge. On the Legand it is also on deck 2 between Truffles Rest. and Atlantic Lounge and labeled as Private Club Restaurant Annex. I have always seen people eating in there.

We would want to rotate tables so each of us can spend some time with each other - it is a large 50th Wedding Anniversary surprise for my In-laws. Do you have any advice on how to make this work? When we booked the cruise we made sure the PVP had all the reservations tied together so that we would for sure be sitting together. So you might start there. But talk to the maitre d 1st thing. The waiter that had our table for 12 also had a round table right next to ours which held 10, so I am pretty sure if you talk to maitre d and waiters they will figure out how you can all sit "next" to each other and switch tables without to much complications. Good Luck, Happy Cruising!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
