sppunk Posted January 7, 2008 #11 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Just a clarification: You can have this dinner on port days (we did leaving St. Maarten). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georji Posted January 7, 2008 #12 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Just a clarification: You can have this dinner on port days (we did leaving St. Maarten). How much do you guys usually tip for this amazing experience?? I've heard it's well worth it! DH and I will also be celebrating our anniversary so I think we'll have to book this! Will they do it on a formal night?? I can't stand dressing up so this will be GREAT! We can have lobster right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can have lobster right? $10-$20 each, there are usually 2 servers. :) Yes they will do it on formal night. Yes they have surf/turf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kands6191 Posted January 7, 2008 #14 Share Posted January 7, 2008 We are sailing Emerald on 2/24 and also planned to celebrate with the balcony dining. But I'm allergic to shellfish. Do you know if they provide an alternative? Maybe more "turf"? Who would I talk to about arranging it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if they provide an alternative? Maybe more "turf"? Who would I talk to about arranging it? I'm SURE they'd give you pretty much anything you'd like. If you have regular dining if you tell your server on the first night that you're allergic they'll watch out for it I'm sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morriscats Posted January 7, 2008 #16 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Was just looking at our menu from the UBD and you can get lobster, fillet or both. The fillet was the biggest one I have seen in a long time and excellant. But even better was that salad - Mesculun greens with pear, walnuts (semi candied) and aged balsamic vinaigrette. It was the best salad I have EVER had. Well worth the price. The breakfast is also great - we don't like smoked salmon so DH ordered an omlet and I had eggs benedict. Then they brought everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sueb Posted January 7, 2008 #18 Share Posted January 7, 2008 We are fairly new to princess also (well, haven't sailed on this line since '02, but can answer anything you might want to know re: rccl ; ) Am I right in understanding you can only book this once during a cruise (that would seem fair). If your balcony can accomimdate this...can you book this for 4 and....What is the charge? We are on CB. Thanks! I feel like a newbee again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morriscats Posted January 7, 2008 #19 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Can you order eggs benedict for breakfast regularly? Or is that a special breakfast thing you did?? This was the ultimate balcony breakfast - but they usually had eggs benedict at the buffet and in the dining room to order. Someone also said they ordered a hot breakfast regularily on Diamond after our cruise - we just never tried that. I don't think there was a limit on how many times you can do this. Our waiter said they had not had many requests for the dinner on our cruise. The dinner was $50.00 per person and the breakfast was $28.00 for 2. Well worth it IMO.

sppunk Posted January 7, 2008 #20 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Re, Tip: We tipped $20pp, becauase our server was fantastic and very accomidating. Re, formal night: They do have them on formal nights, yes. Re, food off menu: When we called, I specified my wife did not eat red meat and did not much like lobster, but adores crab. They were very accomidating and gave her entirely too many crab legs to eat! So, yes, you can substitute food but you must let them know when you make your reservation. The only complaint I had was it was entirely too much food. Between the free drinks, bottle of champaigne, app's, salad, bread, etc. there is no way either of us could eat it all. We actually were tired of eating halfway through the main course! But, pace yourself and all will be well. This is a great experience and we will do this on our next cruise in a month or so.

cusyl Posted January 7, 2008 #21 Share Posted January 7, 2008 They will call you the day before your dinner and ask what food you want. Here are some pictures: http://good-times.webshots.com/album/561184214LBcBOA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like a newbee again You can do this as often as you can schedule it/afford it and for as many persons as you want. We have hosted the UBD for 8 on the balcony of an aft suite. The charge is $50pp. Enjoy! Mike:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Cruise Fan Posted January 7, 2008 #23 Share Posted January 7, 2008 :) I was thinking of doing this for DH B'day on our cruise.But, my concern is we are sailing to Alaska & our Balcony is not covered.My thought is it will be to COLD!!!!:eek: What do you think? Stacie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mii Posted January 7, 2008 #24 Share Posted January 7, 2008 To answer the question of port or sea days, we had the Ultimate Breakfast while in port in Honolulu. We got there at 6a.m. and by 7a.m. we had the breakfast. In alaska if it is too cold to sit outside there is a coffee table in the room and they will place it there. Now that was in a mini-suite but I assume you could also have it in a balcony or ther kind of room. Hey if you have to just sit on the bed and enjoy the food. it is fabulous.
