Dinner questions

Recommended Posts

Hi. I have a few main dining questions. Do you have tables of your own or are you sat with others? We will be a family of three. Are the main dining room meals long? With an infant I'm trying to decide if she can make it through. Are there many infants in the main dining rooms? Thanks!

Table sizes vary. If you really want a table of your own you might want to request one. We were a group of 5 and we were seated with a family of three. Seated near us was a couple with a baby at a 4 top.

 

Dinner can be long. You might consider putting your little one in the nursery some nights. My grandson was 2 and usually made it through dinner but one night he couldn't make it.

As above, table sizes are 4, 6, 8, and each dining room has one 12 top. For large parties, more tables can be connected. The largest we've been at was 18! (I don't recommend that....2 smaller tables at the same serving station is a better option.)

 

There are lots of infants in the dining room. Length of meals varies with the speed of your server--about 90 minutes is typical, but there are S...L...O...W servers who take longer (if this is a problem, talk to your head server.) If you want a table of "just our family," call DCL in advance and have them note this on your reservation. Your TA will need to do this if you used one. Ignore the speech about how this is only a request and cannot be promised. After boarding, go to "dining changes" to see if you got it and ask to get it at that time if not already granted. It can usually happen.
