Coffeeluvr05 Posted August 8, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Those who have purchased the hors d'oeuvres pre-cruise can you post pics of what you received? The descriptions are not specific enough for me in my personalizer and they do not provide photographs of what you will get. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STREETKING Posted August 8, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 8, 2019 No pictures, but the Shrimp cocktail was good, cheese and crackers not so much, crackers where the kind you get in the plastic wrap that sits out on the tables at a diner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF - retired RRT Posted August 8, 2019 #3 Share Posted August 8, 2019 No pix. We received hors d'oeuvres form our TA on one of our cruises. One word: YUCK. We were not impressed. The whole thing went into the trash. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here - I let our TA know that while we appreciated the gesture, she didn't need to do that again 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarmag13 Posted August 8, 2019 #5 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Mine never showed up! Had to call 2x and go to desk. Got them the next day. Not acceptable. Will not order again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bemis12 Posted August 8, 2019 #7 Share Posted August 8, 2019 The strawberries were great. Avoid canapes at all costs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Flyer Posted August 8, 2019 #8 Share Posted August 8, 2019 The Deluxe canapés you can order appear to be like the free elite benefit for deluxe canapés delivered on formal nights & I would never pay for their canapés. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XBGuy Posted August 8, 2019 #9 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I can report that the noshes that are provided from Room Service vary, somewhat, from ship to ship. Here are the raw vegetables that we ordered on the Grand Princess a couple years, ago n On other ships we have been given a slightly bigger platter of vegies instead of the bowl shown here. Cheese platter and vegie platter on the Ruby Princess last year Again, I've seen slightly different presentations. BTW, those are dried apricots at the southwest edge of the cheese platter. I have ordered the Chocolate Dipped Strawberries, but I don't have any pics. They are nice sized--each one is two or three bites--and they are pretty. There is a lot of ire here on Cruise Critic about the canapes, but I do not get it. I have ordered the canapes, I have had them with the Ultimate Balcony Dinner and I have had them in those wine tastings that they offers in the dining room in the afternoon on some sea days. They are bite-size noshes--pate, whipped cheese, shrimp, cured meats--on little pieces of bread. There is a pretty current thread on the Ultimate Balcony Dinner in which somebody has posted pictures--including some canapes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That hasn’t happened recently but we did enjoy the 8 pieces of freshly made chocolates they delivered. The canapés with the UBD, Maître d’ wine tasting & at the MTP cocktail events were much better.

I used to like those and the cream puffs - and they are both gone. The only 2 things that were edible on the Elite menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoneharborlady Posted August 9, 2019 #13 Share Posted August 9, 2019 You can go up to the buffet and make your own plate of cheese and crackers, and fruit, and take them back to your cabin. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We typically go to the buffet and make a platter of all of these things for sail away at every port. Super easy, free, and you can get as much/whatever you want! 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffeeluvr05 Posted August 9, 2019 Author #19 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Thanks for all the info! I think we will just visit the buffet if we want any sailaway treats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted August 9, 2019 #20 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Here's a photo of the canapes that came with our Ultimate Balcony Dinner. They're substantially the same as the ones we received from a friend when we took our honeymoon cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POF1234 Posted August 10, 2019 #21 Share Posted August 10, 2019 When you grab goodies form the buffet ( or maybe IC ) to take back to cabin for sail away - how do you carry them ? Just on a plate ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDDY0827 Posted August 10, 2019 #22 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Order from room service and stash the tray in a closet so the steward doesn't take it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennybenny Posted August 10, 2019 #25 Share Posted August 10, 2019 We've done it a few times. The idea of it is far better than the actual canapes. I do wish they were better. Love the strawberries, and think they are the best thing to pre-order. The cheese tray is nice, but you can do it yourself from Horizon. The shrimp is good but again, you can get it in Horizon. The guacamole is gross. You can request avocado from the dining room but I've never tried asking for tortilla chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
