Curious whether people like or dislike being seated at the teacup tables in Enchanted Garden?

Forgot to ask if you’d add WHY you may like or dislike...

Dislike. They are great if there are two or three people who are relatively small in size. Like 2 adults and a 4 year old for example.
But if you are 2 adults with 2 teenagers then you are going to be uncomfortable. We had that our last cruise in October ...thank goodness it was only a 3 night cruise and my husband and son ate up on Deck 11 that night watching Funnel Vision.

Dislike.

Table is too small to hold all those plates that come with dinner. And very cramped for more than 2 people (or 2 with a small child). The actual seating space is large, but, remember, you're going to be bumping knees with everyone, since you all face center.

Also want to mention that step up is hazardous for people not paying attention getting in or out of the booth, not to mention the trim piece that sticks out just trying to trip you at the bottom edge of the seat.

Dislike. Even for three of us it was right, especially once all the plates were in the table.

And I may or may not ha e forgotten about that nasty step up when I took DS to the kids club and had to step *down*.


They are so cute to SEE. They aren’t cute to sit in.

Dislike. To add to what was already said (size of the table, hazardous step), if someone seated in the middle needs to stand up to take a picture or use the restroom, someone else needs to swish over also, which is not always easy with plates and glasses on the table and the hanging tablecloth. Also, we enjoy watching the servers work during dinner or other guests if something special happens, like a birthday. The view you get from the teacups is very limited.

DH is a "person of size" and most booths are just too tight to begin with. The teacup booths are definitely a no-go.

Dislike...they are not comfortable...imo...and it's our least favorite MDR as far as atmosphere and menu.

I thought they okay for the two of us. I enjoyed being in the center of the MDR and it was definitely an easy table to remember on rotation (not that finding my table has ever been difficult).

Dislike. Nice too look at but not nice to be in.

Those are so cute. I would like one, but only with up to 4 and all family.

We love them and have been seated there every time but once. The one time we weren't seated there we didn't really enjoy the restaurant as much. I'm requesting them again for our February cruise.

We were seated in one. There were 4 adults, and it felt too tight.

We had one of these on our cruise in October. Our kids were 10 and 7 so the seating space was fine but the table got really crowded.

I like these tables! But we're a family of 3, so it's not a tight fit. DD14 and I were seated there for breakfast one morning, and that was perfect, but even when DH for us it's fine. And I think they're cute.

I’ve only ever had those tables for a brunch with 2 little girls, DH and me and they were perfect. But for older kids, more adults etc...no.

They were OK for lunch with just DH and I but the distance between seat and table is tight and not adjustable and we're average sized people. I also found it uncomfortable because of the extreme curve of the seat. I kept knocking my elbows against it while trying to eat because I couldn't move the seat back. The tabletop is quite small so while it's OK for two people at lunch, it's way too tight for dinner and I can't see how four people can eat at it at all comfortably. They look really cute but the reality is quite different.

This was us on the Fantasy in January, 2 adults and 2 kids of the same ages, LOVED the teacup table!! Hope we get it again in the future; we are sailing on the Fantasy again Oct 2018 but are going with another family so we'll be at a bigger table this time.
