table size in dining rooms

[mommykeg]

We have a family of four...2 adults, 2 kids....will we most likely be sitting at a table of our own, or will we be placed with other families? Can one or the other be requested? Is one situation more desirable? Would love to hear your opinions!

I know that you can request either a table for 4 or a larger one, we just did that - requested a larger party. I would love to have another child or two at our table that hopefully my dd can meet rather than her be stuck at a table with 3 adults all the time.

We had a table for 4, and we requested this on our last cruise, and for the next.

It is not that we are unsociable, but to avoid any embarrassment if the kids do something wrong.

I find they can play up more in company.

I've requested a table for 4 and a table for 3 on our last 2 cruises and had goten it. I don't like sitting with others, I use diner as a time where my 4 year old and I talk about what we did that day, what we are doing the next and if she was at the kids club she tells me all about that. I like that time with her and I don't want to share it with other familes that might disrupt our family time together.

Do they have a table for 5. We have in the past cruised with a group of 8 but this year there will be 5 of us, 3 adults and 2 children. Since my DM's stroke she gets shy eating in front of others?

All of the tables are even numbered. If you have a party of 5, you can request a 6 top. (These requests are not guaranteed. )

Thanks for the info!

When do you make your table request? We are a family of four and would rather sit alone, not because we are unsociable, but vacations are the rare time when we all get to eat dinner together and spend quality time.

We have already made our final payment but have not received docs yet.

If we have to wait until we board the ship what are the chances that our request will be filled?
