CruisingCamper Posted January 20, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2013 We are sailing on RCL in a few weeks with our two children, ages 6 and 18 months. How does RCL do seating arrangements in the Main Dining Room for families? Will we be assigned possibly to sit with others? Or will be assigned a table for 4? In the past on CCL and Disney we were seated at a table for 4, but we have not sailed with RCL since having children. Thanks for Any info you can provide!

crusinmama06 Posted January 21, 2013 #2 Share Posted January 21, 2013 It depends. I have been seated at a table with other families (a table for 8) and I have been seated at our own table for 4 on RCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingCamper Posted January 21, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Thanks:) I guess we will just have to wait and see what we get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinmama06 Posted January 21, 2013 #4 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Thanks:) I guess we will just have to wait and see what we get! When you board - you can go to the MDR and check out your table. If it's not for 4 - ask to be moved ;) The MDR on day one is filled with people doing just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnysavannah Posted January 25, 2013 #5 Share Posted January 25, 2013 When I called for something else, the rep asked what size table we wanted. We are traveling with another family and wanted to just be the 8 of us, so that was great! I guess she made note on the reservations that are linked.

Yes on the reservation - they can select table size. It is an actual number. But that doesn't mean once that number gets to the ship that the dining room WILL honor it. ;) Check your table once you board. An "8 top" traveling with two families will probably be honored - no problem. It's the smaller table requests that seem to get lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volunton Posted January 27, 2013 #7 Share Posted January 27, 2013 We were 4 adults and 5 kids (ages 4,4,4,4,6) on the Allure of the Seas in November 2011 and FOTS in December 2012. We had a table for 10 - the same table - to ourselves for each cruise. The only complaint was that the second MDR set-up (on the FOTS) was an oval shape so we felt like we had to yell to talk to the other adults/kids at the other end of the table. Also, they didn't put 'families' together, so some poor adults (tables of 2 and 4) had to listen/watch the kids. Talk to your TA or RCL about what kind of set-up you would like prior to sailing. We chose 5;30 p.m. each night prior to embarkation. Also, after the first night, the waiter and his assistant knew what our requirements were re: kids appetizers, mains and desserts. Made it much easier the next six nights. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
