Group specialty dinner

[Cruiseincan]

Was curious how many people can be accommodated at a specialty restaurant. Mother is turning 75 and was hoping to have dinner for about 14 folks at pinnacle. Do they accommodate that many people or break groups up? The most I can see to book online was just 6... Thanks...

You will need to call HAL dining way before boarding as dining fills up fast (even pre boarding). It may depend on the ship but some of the older ships do have a back room to use and the new ships have back row a tables they may be able to move tables together. You will probably need an early or late time there.

You can do a big group. In 2020 we did a group of 10, we were able to have everyone at one big table. We did 22 this March. Because of how big the group was we had to be broken up into 2 large tables. But we used the captains table room for both events.

You definitely want to call beforehand to set it up and then follow up once you are on board. If individuals are going to pay for their own meals they will have you fill out a form with everyone's names and cabins. It's a fairly easy but time consuming process and the ship services coordinator will probably need to reach out to someone on the ship to coordinate.

We did 10 a couple weeks ago. Called in advance and there’s a form to submit. You most likely won’t get prime dining time. Our choice was 5:00 or after 8:00.
