12 person tables??

[vinman147]

does anyone know if the caribbean princess has tables for 12 in the dining room????

I have heard of them putting together tables occasionally to accomodate 12, but normally they will ask that you sit at two 6 person tables next to each other, if available.

Somebody was talking about a large table a week or so ago, I think it was here. Try a search to see if that helps.

Hi Vinman,

 

Just want to share a story with you.

We got off the RCCL Voyager 4 weeks ago. We had a table for 12. We could not communicate with the others at the FAR end of the table. We also received poorer service than 8 tops or 6 tops simply because our waiter could not possibly bring our food out efficiently for 12 people.

 

Imagine a table for 6 or 8. The Waiter takes care of that table just great and then moves on to another table of 6 or 8 and serves them just great. Then moves on to the table of 12, serves 6 or 8, then takes care of the additional requests from the other two previous tables of 6 or 8, then brings the last original orders from the final 4 or 6 from the 12 top. It was a mess!!! The food was cool and the service was poor for the 12 of us. NEVER AGAIN!

 

Not to say this will happen to you, but a 12 top is a nightmare for a waiter with 4 to 6 other full tables to efficiently take care of. It will be fun to keep your group together but IMHO the service will suffer.

 

I just wanted to share our experience. I hope this helps in some way!:)

I was informed by Princess that the tables were 10,6,4. In order to have our group of 16 seated in the same wait staff area, we are going to be seated at a 10 and a 6.

and there are 6 tables for 10 in each of the PC dining rooms and 4 tables for 10 in the traditional dining room on the Caribbean Princess. There are no set table for 12 on this ship. I don't think there are room for 2 extra person at the 10-person table. We had a 10-person table--6 adults, 2 small children in regular chairs and 2 children in high chairs. We found the table pretty cramped when we got lots of dishes to try. So realistically, I doubt the 10-person table would fit 12 comfortably.

 

I would talk to the Maitre D the first thing you board the ship and discuss that all 12 of you would like to sit together to see if he can combine 2 large tables for you. I don't see why they can't do this ahead of time. Try not to let him persuade you to take 2 tables of 6 if possible.

 

HTH.
