Rare trbarton Posted May 22, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I'm having a sale-away party for some of my friends. I have read about asking the room steward for wine glasses but what about going to a bar or asking at the MDR where we will been having lunch? Anybody asked for wine glasses and if so where did you get them from? Thanks! Tom:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Gal Posted May 22, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 22, 2014 We have had a few parties in our mini suite over the years and we have always asked our room steward for the extra wine glasses. Our Room Stewards have always been very obliging and brought us whatever we wanted including champagne glasses as well when they have been requested.

Tom:) Room stewards get wine glasses from room service so when I call room service to exchange our minibar setup I also request my wine glasses. :) Edited May 22, 2014 by Astro Flyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mapu Posted May 22, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 22, 2014 As others have said room service will bring wine glasses to your cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted May 22, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Room service can do it easily but you can also just ask at any bar, I have done that in the past.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted May 22, 2014 #6 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Stewart or Room Service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooch47 Posted May 22, 2014 #7 Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) Since everyone is busy at that time, could he count on getting them in time for a sail away party? Edited May 22, 2014 by gooch47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Lew- Posted May 22, 2014 #8 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Since everyone is busy at that time, could he count on getting them in time for a sail away party? That's why asking at a bar would be the best bet. Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koolforkatz Posted May 22, 2014 #10 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Just off a one-night cruise. We brought on wine and were having a sail away party on our balcony. Two friends asked their steward who brought them glasses right away (I think they were very lucky since typically the stewards are extremely busy on embarkation day). My husband just went to the closest bar to our cabin and brought back glasses. Don't forget a corkscrew if you don't have twist-top wine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare trbarton Posted May 22, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I'm in the main dinning room for lunch. Would that be a place to ask? Thanks for everyone's replies. Asking the Room Steward might work as long as their not extremely busy and give them a nice tip at the time. Tom:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted May 22, 2014 #13 Share Posted May 22, 2014 The room steward would do their best to accommodate you, the dining room may not be so helpful. Bar staff may be the quickest and easiest.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seafoam Green Posted May 23, 2014 #15 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Room service can do it easily but you can also just ask at any bar, I have done that in the past.:D +1 Room stewards sometimes make it sound like an outrageous request. However, I notice that once you get the wine glasses in your room, they always swap used glasses out and replace them with clean stems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gcvt Posted May 23, 2014 #19 Share Posted May 23, 2014 We've always asked for wine glasses in the MDR. Never had a problem; they're always so nice. They also give us one of those fancy insulated wine buckets full of ice if we ask - those things keep ice very well :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seamwoman Posted May 23, 2014 #20 Share Posted May 23, 2014 On our 28 day cruise on the Golden in April the room steward did not agree to get me one wine glass. When I requested one from bars the gave them to me reluctantly - when we took one from Lido they complained??? Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then drop it off in your room.:D I have done this and when Stewart cleans up he removes the dirty ones and replaces them. That was on the Ruby.:):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was on the Ruby.:):) That works for a glass or two but for a sailaway, I would imagine they want more like 6 glasses. Still, there should not be any issues getting them.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GweninTX Posted May 24, 2014 #23 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Our room steward kept us supplied with 2 every day on our recent Royal cruise. I have also picked them up in bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
