All at the same time (months ago), for the sailing on 12/18. my grandmother booked our family of eleven (7 adt & 4 chd) in 4 cabins. These are NOT SUITES, only Cat.A- so let me preface by saying we realize we do not have that in our favor.

We are assigned the 8:30 pm seating and have had our TA fax to HAL our request that we all be seated together at one table. We confirmed receipt of that fax with Ships Services. I am sure there are a limited number of tables for 10, and we are 7 adults and 4 children.

Does anyone think that our being seated together is going to be a problem, especially at the 8:30 pm seating? My Mom is really worried about us being split up. Is it unrealistic to expect that HAL will be seating us together?

As I understand it, we will find out what our table assignment is when we arrive at our cabins? If we are split up our only recourse is to plead with the maitre d'hotel asap upon finding this info?

There are 2 large tables in the dining room that will seat 11. One is the Captain's table (lower level) and the other the Chief Engineer's (upper level).

Last Christmas I noticed that the CE's table was reserved for a family of 11 and the Captain's also. Neither Officer attended the dining room on formal night. So, there may be a chance that you will get one of these tables.

Good luck.
