Dining with a large group

[toy]

We booked for Oct 2012. So far we have 31 confirmed booked with an additional 15 expected to join. Has anyone sailed with such a large group? I don't expect one extra large table, but will they try to fit us all in the same area?

If you link your dining reservations, they will seat you in the same area. I cruised with HUGE group and about 60 of them linked, they all sat in the same area, they had several tables of different sizes, but they all knew each other so it was fine. If you don't liknk for dining, and you don't have to do that until about 2 weeks prior, then everyone will be scattered, different rotations, etc.

We sailed with 29 last month on teh Dream for our family reunion. It was hit or miss. We were in 4 separate tables and in EG we were not right next to each other but in the other dining rooms we were closer. Just FYI- just because your table numbers are in sequential numbers does not mean you will be right next to each other.
On the other extreme, on the EB Repo cruise through the PC we had so many people linked for dining that we took up about half on one whole dining room.
Worked great.
