linedancer Posted August 15, 2010 #26 Share Posted August 15, 2010 We will be in the Royal Suite on Grandeur for our cruise the end of Sept. It will be my 60th Birthday. The biggest room we have ever been in was a JS. I am sooooo looking forward to being spoiled. Irene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevSmith Posted August 15, 2010 #27 Share Posted August 15, 2010 For those in suites who wish to order dinner from the MDR for a certain time. You may call ahead and order your meal to be delivered at that certain time (as long as it is a time when the MDR is open) and it will be delivered at that time give or take fifteen minutes...which is very nice, as I have done this several times on different ships.

Bakincakes Posted August 15, 2010 #28 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Our Concierge always ordered our dinner for us....we told him what we wanted and for what time. Everything was ready and in order by the time it was delivered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything was ready and in order by the time it was delivered. Do you think room service would deliver meals to a location other than your stateroom? Would they bring it to the Pig and Whistle or the movie theater? I've never seen it done and the literature doesn't really address it-just wondering...

rubrrick Posted August 15, 2010 #31 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I've never entertained the thought of having food delivered other than to our cabin. Maybe someone else has??? What a novel thought! My gut tells me that room service will NOT be available to be delivered to a table in the Schooner Bar! I'm sure that someone has asked that question......and has been turned down. Think of the mess and trays all over the ship!:eek: Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beach4me Posted August 15, 2010 #33 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Do you think room service would deliver meals to a location other than your stateroom? I was wondering if they'd let you eat it in the CL...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkSusan Posted August 15, 2010 #34 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I was wondering if they'd let you eat it in the CL...? CL isn't really set up for dining. You'd have to hold your plates and if you were looking at dinner time, the CL during the evening cocktail hour is usually standing room only. Lots of times when we've been on the Radiance class, we end up taking out drinks to the small area right outside the CL. Susan :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising89143 Posted August 15, 2010 #37 Share Posted August 15, 2010 On the Freedom last week, noticed for the first time that they now have a separate priority room service extension for suite guests when ordering room service. I forgot about the number and was on hold. Called back using the priority extension and they picked up right away. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time you tell him what you want,you could just tell the room service person:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linedancer Posted August 15, 2010 #39 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Do they bring everything at once?? Or do they come with your appertizer first, then the salad, then your entree and then dessert??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time you tell him what you want,you could just tell the room service person:confused: We make our choices and then go about our day. We don't have to worry about boarding after an excursion and worrying about dinner. All done..... ..all we do is clean up after our day...maybe have some pre dinner drinks and then sit down and eat.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do everything at once. Like it's done in the movies. The server comes with a push cart with white table cloths and everything. You sit and watch as he sets up the table. We originally wanted our dinner on the balcony, but we did not anticipate the bright sun that time of day. (of course he gets a good tip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vavasmom Posted August 15, 2010 #43 Share Posted August 15, 2010 We ordered the Dining room menu into the suite on our San Juan night because our excursion came back too late for our early seating. We called the standard room service number - the person taking the order asked questions like would you like your meat medium rare or medium well, etc. We had food (all three courses) approx. 30 minutes after it was ordered. I ordered an extra entree for the three of us to share (the curry) like I did in the MDR each night and had an order of cookies added becuase DD was not sure she wanted the coconut creme brulee. The delivery also included the bottle of wine (that I paid for). The person taking the order ensured we had the correct menu and the delivery person set-up a white tablecloth on the coffee table in the room (we took the courses out on the balcony to enjoy the sunset). The tray included salt/pepper, silverware, etc. The room service delivery person presented the wine and had us taste before pouring the glasses. We had all the menus in our room on embarkation day but they were all out of order. I verified the menu in the concierge lounge that morning. I called when we were done and they picked it all up. Very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constance331 Posted August 16, 2010 #46 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I have done a couple of sailings on Seabourn, and found that not only did I get in-suite dining served course-by-course, but my orders with room service could be (and were) delivered anywhere on the ship I happened to be. And then, of course, you have open bars throughout the ship. And you don't have to be in a suite! The lowest category cabin qualifies for all of the above. When I factored these things in, I found it was actually cheaper to book Seabourn than a suite on a mainstream line in order to receive the services mentioned.

Which is good for the ones that want the on board experience that Seabourn offers but that is not me. We could cruise the luxury lines for what we pay for suites but I would be bored silly on those small ships. RCI knows this and that's why they can get those prices for suites.

msjekylcruiser Posted August 17, 2010 #48 Share Posted August 17, 2010 My family will be in a GS but my adult son and his girlfriend have an inside cabin. Will we be able to order in for all of us? I guess I'm asking if we can order an additional 2 entrees for them so they can join us in our room on occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard of some folks getting quantities reduced and the room service folks saying "you ordered too much food" I suspect if you are in a suite and you let them know you are ordering for more than 2 people you shouldn't have a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
