We've had pretty good luck with our cruises too.
Our first cruise was a three day on the Magic. It was our Honeymmon, so we assumed we'd be seated with other couples (I was actually hoping for some older couples who would lecture us on how to make our marriage work the whole time, because I thought that would be cool!) but we actually ended up being seated with other families. Each family had two kids. Seemed a strange choice, but they were very sweet people. The women totally fed my new brides ego by asking me in detail about the wedding and what we wore and all those other details that new brides like to talk about adnausem. The Children were very polite and we really enjoyed meeting them.
The second cruise was with DH, myself, my parents, and my niece who was 6 at the time. We thought we might get a table by ourselves, but were given a table with another family that had a daughter that was my niece's age. They got along great and played together in the kids clubs. The only tense moment came when the dinner conversation turned to the Election of 2000 (This was in February after it had all been solved). Luckily, we all found out we were on the same side, and Dinner Disaster was diverted.
The last cruise we went with another couple and we were surprised to get our own table! In the long run, that was probably a good thing because we all have been friends for a long time and I was worried that soemone sitting with us might feel left out since they aren't really privy to our inside jokes and that sort of thing.
On this upcoming cruise, who knows what will happen. I kind of expect that we will once again have a table to ourselves. We are traveling with the same couple, only this time we both have little ones!

I would imagine that to be the worst . . . I really hadn't thought about that until now. . .
