wemjam Posted April 30, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 30, 2023 So we cruise in a couple weeks and I booked the Steakhouse for dinner for my husbands birthday. I was wondering if I wanted to ask a "special" request for him is there a contact for the steakhouse prior to boarding? If not I thought I might try to sneak away and talk to them directly once on board. His favorite desert on the ships & just in general is the German chocolate cake. They pretty much almost always have this (but not in the steakhouse). I just wanted to ask if maybe we could get a piece with a candle brought out for him. Anyone every have any luck with something along this line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTromboneFrack Posted April 30, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 30, 2023 We've never done that, but our anniversary is in December and we've done a lot of cruises over that time. The Steakhouse and Rudy's Seagrill have always gone out of their way to make our night special. If you get with them early, I would be surprised if they didn't accommodate your request.

mz-s Posted April 30, 2023 #3 Share Posted April 30, 2023 They serve german chocolate cake on the Lido buffet usually. There's no way to reach steakhouse crew before you get on the ship that I'm aware of. The steakhouse is usually open during embarkation for people to make reservations, I'm sure if you snuck in and asked them they could help you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BlerkOne Posted April 30, 2023 #4 Share Posted April 30, 2023 You could post the request to John Heald, assuming your husband doesn't read here or there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ninjacat123 Posted April 30, 2023 #5 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I'm glad you brought this up. I am taking my mom on a cruise in 11 days and we have reservations on her bday at JiJi's. Going ahead of time to make sure a special something can happen is a good idea.👍😁🎂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it is on lido ALOT, that is why I was hoping they might be able to get a piece for him in the steakhouse as a surprise 😃 Figured there was not contact, so I will just try to get in to see them when he isn't around.

Yea, he is on his facebook page. Actually he is and I am not lol. Haven't "done" facebook for years! Got sick of all the negativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can make your request at that time. No way that I know of to do it in advance. They usually have a booth set up on Promenade with a host(ess) as well, that's a good place to ask as well.
