myshipcamein Posted May 13, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 13, 2004 For a family of four, would you recommend a table for 4 or a table for 8. I hate the thought of sitting with 2 others only, and feeling like they are left out in conversations. I'm thinking maybe it would be better to sit by ourselves. Are there tables for 8.

hstrybuf Posted May 13, 2004 #3 Share Posted May 13, 2004 We prefer a table for 8. We were once seated with a family of four and two other singles. We found the interaction to be more enjoyable with the larger table.

Jason26 Posted May 17, 2004 #5 Share Posted May 17, 2004 I agree. Go for the larger table. We have made a lot of good friends meeting others at dinner. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yst347 Posted May 17, 2004 #6 Share Posted May 17, 2004 I agree, go for the larger table. We have always enjoyed the company of those we have been joined with. I have heard the stories of lousy tablemates and I am sure they are true but I think they are not the norm. The larger group should be fun for you two and should be a good learning experience for your youngsters.

imatarb Posted May 17, 2004 #7 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Have to agree on this one with the larger table. We were seated at a table for four, and while our tablemates were a blast, they were only there two nights out of seven, so a few more people would have been nice for conversation. I think the larger tables and reviewing the day with tablemates is part of the cruise experience.

kapcruiser Posted May 18, 2004 #8 Share Posted May 18, 2004 We have 7 in our group - do you think they will automatically give us a table with no one else. We want to sit just the 7 of us. Inspiration - August 2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted May 19, 2004 #9 Share Posted May 19, 2004 I would think they would seat y'all at a table for 8, removing one chair. That would be ideal - and also give you more elbow room. To OP, I really do like sitting with a variety of folks. Just more fun and lively conversation. I'm a solo cruiser, and I love large tables. I was once seated at a 4-person table, just me and a honeymoon couple. They were cute and sweet, but we had nothing in common, and they even told me (nicely) that they had requested a table for two. I was moved to a large table the next night at my request. I went back over to tell them I 'arranged' for them to have their alone time, and they were SO grateful - even bought me a drink on deck when I saw them there! Happy ending.
