mom2girlsVT Posted April 26, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Do you have to order the party trays online before the cruise or can you order them once on board? I'm thinking like the canape or fruit and cheese platters. Also, I see there is a veggie platter for $18, but could you ask room service for a larger veggie tray since they have one for free on their menu?

dljones Posted April 26, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 26, 2014 That is a good question! I don't know but sure would like to. I would think you could. Someone out there will know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klfrodo Posted April 26, 2014 #3 Share Posted April 26, 2014 You can order these from the Cherry On Top store once on the ship. We usually have a small gathering in our cabin on a sea day and this is how we do it. Usually the day before the event we place the order. Then they set up and deliver on time.

hartsnvt Posted April 26, 2014 #4 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Or you could order room service one time the 1st day or night, keep the tray and go to the buffet and create your own fruit tray! I am a cheapo and this is what I would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2girlsVT Posted April 26, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Thank you for the responses....I may go the cheapo route and order 3 or 4 veggie boats from room service, but I am also glad to know I can order the platters on board. Anniversary/birthday party for one couple in our group..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a great thread on here last week about tips people do to save some money and people talked about using room service trays to fix snacks to take back to their stateroom. I am budget CONSCIOUS and in my OPINION it is not classless to think outside of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjcruiser Posted April 27, 2014 #10 Share Posted April 27, 2014 When we order liquor and wine from Bon Voyage, and are hosting family in our room on one night before dinner or the show, we order several veggie and cheese plates from room service. It's just a quick bite to compliment, or to snack on what we are drinking, and I tip the attendant appropriately for the number of people in the room.

Same here, absolutely nothing "classless" about doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisp414 Posted April 27, 2014 #12 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Can you get cheese plates from Room Service? Are they like the ones you can get in the MDR? Would love to order to go with our wine on the balcony! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrlandoGirl57 Posted April 27, 2014 #13 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I think it was a great idea. Not everyone can afford to have the extras- It was kind of a nasty remark (or at least I took it that way). A lot of us budget TIGHTLY to make these vacations doable- if I'm part of a cabin crawl and want to have some nice goodies to share- I would consider your idea! I didn't say I did it, it was just a thought. There was a great thread on here last week about tips people do to save some money and people talked about using room service trays to fix snacks to take back to their stateroom.

hartsnvt Posted April 27, 2014 #14 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I want to thank everyone who thought my idea was a good one. I did think it was a nasty remark. Now I am posting the extremely long thread with lots of tips where I saw people keeping their room service trays for other uses. It begins in 2004 and goes to April 16th. There is a ton of info there about ways people do things to save money or just do out of the box things. Enjoy! http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=48388 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
