Dining - Table for 12? - The DIS Discussion Forums

momw/2princesses · 08-14-2009, 01:26 PM

We're going on our cruise with 2 other families and our reservations are linked. Our TA said that we may not be seated together because our party was so large. I thought there were tables that could accomodate a party of 12. Is she mistaken? Has anyone had a party of 12 for dinner?

Thanks!!!

yes it can be done. I've had tables for 11, 14 and 18.
I've always arranged this via conceirge, so others may have knowledge on how to do this on your own.

Just got back from the Magic. They had our group of 12 split up, but when I got on the ship I went to the location for Dining changes and asked about it. They put the two tables together, so we were a table of 12 for the entire cruise.

We had a party of 11 earlier this year (5 cabins, linked). Our TA had us set up and we were seated together for dining.

Thanks for the quick responses!! Glad to know we can check with the dining changes people to be sure!

I know I can always get my questions answered here on the DIS!!!

We had a group of 12 for our May 2006 cruise, here is our group (minus me taking the photo) on our first night at dinner.

I've been seated at groups as small as 2 at a 4 top and as large as 18 at one table.

The standard table sizes are 4,6, and 8. For larger groups, they will push the tables together. It's no problem to seat 12 together--tell your TA to note on your reservation that it's what you want and to make sure all the reservations are "linked."
