Balcony table cloth

[VegasVic14]

I saw this question on FB as some folks are interested in adding a stretchable table cloth cover for the table on their balcony. One response was 26" for the Oasis class. Are the tables possibly standard size throughout the fleet so the Mariner would also have a 26" table?

Never seen a table cloth used on any balcony table for any cruise line.  Not saying it doesn't happen.

But why would you want one unless you're eating directly off the table?

Agree! Use a towel if need be while eating. 

Possibly a table cloth would be considered a fire Hazzard?

Wouldn’t a towel be a fire hazard too.   Just sayin.  
but yes I’ve used a smaller towel before.

We just use a towel when we eat and then remove it.

In a suite, room service will bring a table cloth not sure this is automatically or if you need to request when ordering from MDR.

No tablecloth provided from room service on our last four cruises in suites post restart.

I think it would work.
 

However please don’t leave it on the table when you are not out there.  Princess had a fire from a carelessly tossed cigarette on a balcony that they think landed on a towel that damaged 50 cabins or so and I think one person died.  Just FYI.

 

We like to “personalize” our cabin too.  Just be wise.

Just more to pack....who has the room????

Our balcony table was about 12" across on Odyssey last week. I don't think a tablecloth would be necessary or available.

A lot easier than, say, packing four bricks to hold down a towel. Less hassle with TSA too.

I agree with using a towel.  It is heavier than a tablecloth and won't flap around as much as something lighter weight - also cleaner, if something gets spilled on it just use a new one.
