If you are in a suite or The Haven that comes with a butler, the answer is yes.  You contact your butler for this.   For a regular cabin you have the option to order from the fixed room service menu.

To add on to tomberly's response, if you are in a suite/haven and decide to do this, I recommend you arrange it in advance.  We let the butler know the day prior that we want dinner in the room the next day and at what time.  He'll bring the menu to you that morning or early afternoon and get your selections.  Come dinner time he'll set the table and serve the dinner course by course. 

We don't do it often, but it's a nice perk for when you want a quiet dinner alone.

We always try to double check that the timing of a request (assuming it is flexible, and it usually is) works for the Butler's schedule.  That is, if someone else has requested dinner/etc., at 8:15pm, then it's hard to imagine that we wouldn't be able to change our request to a bit earlier or later.

 

Also, depending upon what we are ordering, our own schedule, and also our mood, we might tell the Butler that it's fine to bring everything at once, or perhaps just bring the dessert an hour later or whatever.  We try to be flexible.  It's sometimes difficult to know if there are overlaps in requests to the Butler, as part of their "job" is not to make it seem like the passenger is somehow imposing (even if a request is really demanding).

 

We put that in our "Butler letter", also... to please let us know if there is any scheduling issue because we can almost always change the timing with almost no inconvenience.

 

We had a lot of meals in our suite for much of an Alaska cruise.  We had a wonderful forward-facing suite, and the scenery right there in front of us, in the comfort of our suite, was impossible to beat.  We also had a huge balcony and private hot tub.

We really didn't leave very much for that trip other than when we left the ship for excursions.

Great trip! 🙂
