Roxxy Posted August 1, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Sailing with a wedding group of 30 people and trying to find a spot for everyone to meet up at 2pm (ish) on boarding day. Is the Pig & Anchor a good spot for this? Is there ample seating at that location? Any better suggestions? TIA ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't find enough seats at P&A, try the Red Frog Pub - one side had stools right at the bar plus stools with small round tables towards the window. Extra seating in the booths on the other side and outdoors. P&A can get crowded on Vista since it attracts a higher % of seasoned sailors who know how to get around on a Carnival ship..

julian.brambila Posted August 1, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Might be crowded since it's only Open on sea days so you probably won't be able to sit together Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxxy Posted August 1, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I was thinking that since it is embarkment day, not too many people will know the 'secret' of the P&A. Does anyone know how many tables there is in the area? 4 or 5 or like 10 - 15? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julian.brambila Posted August 1, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 1, 2017 There's a good amount of tables but you can always walk towards the other tables on the other side and you're right, people might not know about P&A Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a ton of seating and Carnival tells everyone its open so you will not have enough room. The Italian or Asian on deck 11 would be a lot better. They are both open for lunch (free) and no one goes up there. There was not a table to be found at the Marketplace and maybe 1 table in each was being used at these places. You can either take the Aft elevators up to 11 or there are stairs at the back of the marketplace on 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering if our guests are all coming in staggered we won't be sitting together where as an outside venue at least people could stand with a drink in hand ! Any other outdoor meeting suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemini Posted August 2, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 2, 2017 If no one knows about the "secret" of the P&A, they certainly will after 30 people gather there. You seem to be more interested in gathering than in eating, given the rapidity with which you shot down Cucina del Capitano and JiJi's. Given that, Ocean Plaza is another option. It's not outside, but it's certainly "people can stand around with a drink in hand." If you really want outdoor, the outdoor seating area for, say, Cherry on Top is another possibility. You could even get P&A food and go over to CoT, which should be really empty. Or just further up the Lanai from P&A, like around the Fun Shops. Again, you could get food at P&A, then run up the lanai/promenade to a different area and sit there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a spacious venue and people get the BBQ and then eat inside at the Ocean Plaza. My group did this, but more because it was so hot outside.
