Large Party for Dinner

[cruisetorelax44]

Hi! We're a group of 11, all with UDP, sailing on Oasis in January.  We'd love to plan a large group dinner at Giovanni's one night. Our reservations are linked.  Does anyone know if we'd be able to get a reservation for the group in advance or does it have to be made on board. I'm also Diamond +, and though maybe if I could get the email of the concierge for Oasis before we sail, they might be able to set something up..  Has anyone ever done anything like that before? Thanks!

With UDP you have to make your reservations onboard.

If you are in a Grand Suite or above, the concierge could assist.  Otherwise, no.  The same rules apply to you as to everyone else with the UDP.

i wasn't trying to break the rules. even if we "bought" dinner for the group to make the reservation in advance (and returned it on the ship), you are limited to a reservation of 10. we have 11 people. with such a large group, i'm just trying to ensure we can make it happen. it's for one person's 50th birthday.

We were oh Quantum a few weeks ago. There was a very large group of Officers having dinner in Chops. They were seated in the seats that line the wall, couch like seating on one side and chairs on the other. I didn't count but I would guess 12 - 14.  Chop's on Oasis has a lot of rectangular tables outside also. I would think the DL host could make it happen.
