Robinob Posted March 15, 2005 #1 Share Posted March 15, 2005 A while ago someone on the boards mentioned that they brought a portable table with them on the ship. They said that it rolled up and when open was large enough for two. Does anyone have any info as to this table? I wish to purchase on and cannot find it anywhere.

madaamt Posted March 15, 2005 #2 Share Posted March 15, 2005 hey robinob go to google and put in roll a table and a few different sites will come up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc-snoopy Posted March 15, 2005 #3 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Yes, I am one of the one's who took it last month on the Jewel and posted about it. It's called "Roll-A-Table" and as mentioned above, it will come up in a Google search. It ranges from about $39.99 to about $55. But watch out for the shipping. The cheapest in price is not always the cheapest after you add in shipping. I also had to figure out which one did 2nd day air the cheapest since I bought mine about six days before we left for our cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sross6019 Posted March 15, 2005 #4 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I have seen them at Wal Mart and at Academy. Don't remember the price, but they looked nice. Thought about getting one. Campmor catalog has them also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dms_cruisers04 Posted March 15, 2005 #5 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Okay, I have to know. What did you use the table for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudyOh Posted March 15, 2005 #6 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Me too - what do you need a table for on a cruise???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
templed Posted March 15, 2005 #7 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I could see having one if you have a larger balcony... (which I do...)... For storage of various beverage cups ;) ... and breakfast... etc.... the smaller balconies might not have the room for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mj from katy Posted March 15, 2005 #8 Share Posted March 15, 2005 We got our roll-up table at Bass Pro Shop. It is really cool and easy to transport. However, I had one bag too many at departure time, so our Roll-up table stayed at home! Folks have used this table out on the balcony when they're having breakfast. On the Radiance, we had a small table, but it wouldn't be big enough to put all the breakfast stuff on. However, there is a small coffee table in the room that could be taken outside, too.

baycruiser Posted March 15, 2005 #9 Share Posted March 15, 2005 The Roll A Table makes any balcony an absolute pleasure. You cannot eat properly on those little stool/side tables without major balancing on laps. We had room service every morning and had a full breakfast on our balcony. Wonderful to use for pulling into port. We were the envy of anyone who saw us using it, including the waiters. The Roll A Table will definitely work on the smaller / E1-E2 category balconies.

dc-snoopy Posted March 15, 2005 #10 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Yes, we had a D1 balcony and the tiny little table they give you (it was about 1 ft diameter and about knee height) wasn't barely big enough for my cup of tea and DW's orange juice and certainly wasn't big enough for our breakfast plates. That along with requesting bathrobes made a late rising morning quite pleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinob Posted March 15, 2005 Author #11 Share Posted March 15, 2005 We have a JS on VOS. From what I see they only have the small side table. I had a D1 last year and didn't have a table on the balcony. I bought the one from Campmor. It was $49.00, including shipping. Since it rolls to 32" long and 6"wide, I will put it in my suitcase. Breakfast on the balcony will be fine. Everyother cruise we had to eat inside because it was too much trouble to balance everything outside. Thanks to all. (4 months from today!!!!!)

PAGA Posted March 16, 2005 #12 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I, too bought one of these roll-a-tables after seeing the posts a month or so ago...but now that I have it I find that it doesn't fit length-wise in even my largest suitcase (and trust me, its a big suitcase!!) Anyone else have this problem?? - PAGA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else have this problem?? - PAGA We found that we had to bring our largest suitcase (which we normally don't use because full, it tends to exceed the weight limit and cost us extra on airlines) and put it in diagonally. We just made sure that we packed light bulky things in that suitcase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else have this problem?? It didn't fit in our largest suitcase BUT my husband had absolutely no problem carrying it on the airplane and stowing it in the overhead. He had a small backpack and the Roll A Table, which met his 2 carryon allowance. So if anyone is thinking of flying with this, it was done recently and shouldn't have any problems.

cruise wizard Posted March 16, 2005 #15 Share Posted March 16, 2005 We purchased on recently and it came with its own carry bag - handle and all - very convenient. The table is all aluminum and has adjustable height legs. We will use it on our 12/4/05 Adventure of the Seas cruise on a D1 balcony. It looks really great, just big enough for the tqwo of us for just about any size meal. If it works out well, I just might open up some stands outside the cruise terminals and sell them. I can't remember the name of the company now but will check at home and post the info. We did get free shipping and paid no sales tax since it was an internet purchase.

It cost $49.95 delivery included. Go to http://www.sitincomfort.com/capota.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muscleman Posted March 17, 2005 #17 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Check sports authority web site. They run $29.99 at sport authority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinob Posted March 18, 2005 Author #18 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Just got mine. I really think that it will come in handy. It is too large for a suitcase so I will attach it to my wheeled carry-on. (I use an overnight wheeled suitcase as a carryon) I tried it and it works well. We don't have to fly as the port is 50 minutes from our home. We don't have to worry about the airplane luggage problems. The table is large enough to have dinner upon. Thanks for the recommendation.

pmccunn Posted March 18, 2005 #19 Share Posted March 18, 2005 See much use for the roll up table on the balcony for a transatlantic, London to Boston. Imagine it would be too cool and windy for breakfast on the balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobro2 Posted March 18, 2005 #20 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I also purchased the Roll Table for our cruise in June. I took one of the carrying cases from our fold up chairs (we use the chairs for our kids soccer games) and the table fits perfectly in this carrying case. We plan on checking it with our luggage on the plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akh40 Posted March 18, 2005 #21 Share Posted March 18, 2005 to Amazon.com, their price is $42 for the 34" square one, with a handled carrying case, the shipping is $6.50. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0003VVNQQ/102-6777056-4864120 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacquelyn11 Posted March 18, 2005 #22 Share Posted March 18, 2005 http://www.altrec.com/search/?words=roll+a+table I purchased this about a month ago. I ordered something else to make up the order over $49 to take advantage of the free shipping. The pants I ordered came in 2 days! The table took about a week. It was $39.95 when I bought it last month. It's $45 now. I'm looking forward to using mine on the balcony in 9 weeks!! :) Jacquelyn :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin69 Posted May 13, 2006 #23 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I never heard about a roll-a-table until I ran across a thread that mentioned it. After checking it out, I had to order one. I ordered it from Altrec.com for $49.99 shipping included for the month of May only. We have an aft balcony on FOS in Dec and plan to use this table. Naturally DH didn't want to add any more extra baggage, so I agreed to carry it, if he let me purchase it (I was only to get it anyway LOL). I can't wait - we enjoy eating breakfast out on the balcony and with a table like this, we should have enough room for everyone and all the food. Thank you for suggesting this table and like someone else had said, who would have ever though of bring a folding table on board a cruise ship. But I bet alot more folks will be following along now that more and more folks are finding out about it. Who knows maybe the cruise ship folks will get the message and start making the tables bigger.

penguin6969 Posted May 23, 2006 #24 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I received our Roll-a-Table last week. Put it up in under 5 minutes. It's very sturdy and can't wait to use it on board the FOS and our balcony. It weights about 10 lbs and as someone suggested, fits into one of those folding chair bags (it does come with a carrying handle) but I think we'll use the folding chair bag for easier carrying in the airport and on board the ship. Thank you again for suggesting it (love this board). Happy cruising to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamthesea Posted May 23, 2006 #25 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Just an FYI - I'm not sure about RCCL, but because of the recent fire, Princess and perhaps all other Carnival owned ships are not allowing any type of "foreign" items to be left out on the balconies. This includes towels, swimsuits, shoes, etc. If the other cruiselines follow this rule, those tables will have to be removed after each use and will not be allowed to remain on the balcony. The stewards on Princess are instructed to remove anything that is not put on the balcony by Princess.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
