Other then the card room??

[motherchic]

We are sailing on the Reflection and want a space where we can play cards and games, with a group of friends.

I would like it to be somewhere that we can play and still have views of the ocean.

Any suggestions?

We are sailing on the Reflection, a TA, in April.

I would like to find a place where a group of us could play cards and games AND still have a view of the ocean.

The card room tends to be a small space.

I would appreciate any suggestions

thank you much,

Nadine

We played Cards against Humanity in the solarium area on our last cruise. Great views

I have seen people playing cards in a corner of the Oceanview cafe. As long as it is not busy during breakfast or lunch hours, I think this could work. There are also tables at the Aqua Spa cafe. As long as it is after 2:30 PM when the lunch service closes that would be OK too. On Silhouette there is a lovely little space called the Hideaway (deck 7) where people read and play cards. You can also get coffee there all day. I don't know if Reflection would have this space also as we have not sailed on that ship, but the other 3 S class do not have it.

Inside, I think the buffet would be your best bet; or the section of the solarium that's close to the Aqua Spa Cafe (but seating isn't ideal there). If it's not windy then you have loads of choices - Solstice Deck, Lawn Club, etc, but again seating isn't ideal. You can make it work if you're not fussy about having a proper table. If you need a table, then the buffet is perfect. You could even sit in their outside portion if the winds are calm.

Reflection does have the Hideaway, but there are no sea views. It's a floor below Game On, which I presume is the card room. Also no sea views but they do have board games there, and tables for people to play.

 

Sky Observation Lounge might be an option but I think it's supposed to be a quiet area during the day, so be sensitive to that. I have seen people playing mahjong there before.

On two recent cruises, card players have occupied several tables in Cafe al Baccio for long periods of time, making it hard to find a table to enjoy a coffee in comfort. Since the OP is considerate enough to ask about an appropriate place to play cards, I'm sure they will not add to this problem. :)

Ocean café not in the center but more to the exit. and you got your view. we're talking 2 three tables good luck.

[ClaudiaB]

Sky Lounge would be good too, if you don't mind the tables being low.

[ptrpanpens]

We played mah jong from 1-3 on Infinity in Blu, which is not open at lunch. Often they will not allow you to play in the Oceanview during busy times.

[motherchic]

I was thinking the Sky lounge as well, BUT are all the tables, coffee table height?

Regular tables would be great

[neverbeenhere]

Areas not suggested: the bridge, the pool (unless you bring the correct cards), on the top deck during a windy day, at the muster, on the black tables, MDR (accept on a formerly formal night as you are going to be there for a while), disembarkation line...

[neenab]

But, please, refrain from occupying the table if others need it for their meal.;)

I'm not sure why you decided to open a second, identical thread on this topic. Perhaps the moderators could combine the two.

[kitty9]

As long as you're not doing the card and game playing during meal times when tables are difficult to get, the buffet area would be your best choice.

Did people notice the game? What were the comments?

[Cruisingwithoutthekids]

The Solarium was really empty when we were playing in there. Nobody was within earshot of us and we kept it to a very reasonable volume.

Just thinking if you are thinking of this being a regular activity why not speak to guest relations and see what area they suggest.

It was an oops

Good to know that I'm not the only one! :)

 

Thanks mods!

Yes, that is annoying, there was a group on my last cruise playing cards in the buffet right after we boarded and stayed there until they cleared the rooms. Really rude, wish the crew would say something

And I am not sure why you would decide to commit on something that harms no one, least of all you. Why bring it up, unless you like making a very nice woman feel badly. Let the moderators do their job.

If you are playing during the daytime, the Ensemble Lounge might work. The Café Al Bacio is only a short distance away for beverages. Coffee tables rather than full height, but the lights are on during the day and you wilk likely not find many people.

People who live in glass houses...:rolleyes:

I agree. There should be no card playing allowed at tables needed for lunch. Nothing is more unpleasant than standing waiting for a table and seeing pax using one for cards (or whatever, not food!)
