Dcoy Posted February 25, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 25, 2022 We’re booked a Breakaway AFT Haven Suite leaving out of New York around 5:30. We usually have dinner between 5-6. We were thinking about having the butler deliver us dinner on the balcony so we can watch the Yew York skyline as we pull out and go past the Statue of Liberty and go out to sea. Anyone ever setup for room service from the butler on the first night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trimone Posted February 25, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I doubt you will see much of your butler the first night, they are not exclusive and like just to introduce themselves on the first night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just connect with your butler when you first get onboard and tell them what time you are planning to have dinner. (You'll want to schedule it for when the Haven Restaurant is open so you'll have great food vs. food from the regular room service kitchen/menu.

complawyer Posted February 25, 2022 #4 Share Posted February 25, 2022 either that, or try and arrange with the concierge prior to sailing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Wheels Only Posted February 25, 2022 #5 Share Posted February 25, 2022 When you first enter the Haven on embarkation day, let the concierge know. If you don't get the word to your butler, the concierge will. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
academytim Posted February 25, 2022 #6 Share Posted February 25, 2022 We are in a haven aft penthouse on Breakaway in about a month. We are traveling with a 2 year old so we will be having dinner (and breakfast for that matter) every day in our suite. I let the Concierge desk know about this in advance and am obviously going to let them know at embarkation as well. My expectation is not to be served “by course” though. Rather we would just like everything brought at the same time so we aren’t tying them up for an extended amount of time the entire cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planning on some Surf/Turf on our balcony while we sail down the Mississippi River. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually don’t eat dessert right after dinner so we may have something delivered later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabincop Posted February 25, 2022 #10 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I’d make sure & tip my butler & concierge really well at the end of my cruise. First day is crazy for the butlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can ask for nuggets, Mac and cheese, fruit cups , cereal etc from the Kids Club buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyGoldberg Posted March 2, 2022 #12 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Sounds like a good plan, but keep in mind departure times can change. On my Breakaway sailing we didn't end up leaving until 8 pm for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
