hors d'oevres

[stacyh08]

Does anyone have a list of what appetizers you get to choose from, I have read 4 hot and 4 cold. appetizers. I wouldnt really make a big deal out of this but some of my non sailing guests probaly arent going to like it if its too upscale. I will be on the carnival Freedom and the date is still opened, but the food choice since some are driving 8 hours is very important.

Also I read you could probaly sneek up to the lido deck and get something to eat if it came down too it. I cant book till I know that my guests will be happy.

You get the following:

 

Hot Items:

Chicken Brochette - chicken skewer

Stuffed Mushrooms

Chicken Nuggets

Lamb Empanadas

Spanakopita - spinach & feta in a pastry

Spring Rolls

 

Cold Items:

Roast Beef & Brie Cheese Canape

Prosciutto & Melon Canape

Stuffed Egg Canape

California Rolls

Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese Canape

 

If you have special dietary needs, talk to your Carnival Wedding coordinator. If an item isn't available, they will substitute it with another item.

I am getting married on Sunday, and was sent both lists, not the vegan one, and was able to choose 6 hot & 6 cold items! Good luck :D

[stacyh08]

THANK YOU FOR THE REPLYS.. I HOPE I HAVE THE CHOICES LIKE LOVE PEA HAD. Those are the things that are right up our alley.. not sure about the first one and I am going to be on the Freedom.

You should tell all your guests to eat a good breakfast and be prepared to only have a light snack at the reception (unless you decide on a full lunch). The focus for the guests should not be what you have to offer them in food and you shouldn't have to worry about them not eating. There are other things to put that energy into.

 

If you are that concerned and on a budget, you can offer them the buffet at their expense. At 10.00 a head most people would pay it. I don't think "sneaking in" is the right answer.

The food is amazing!!! Some of the best we had all cruise :) They even made me a couple of veggie only plates since I dont eat meat!

It does depend on your port and your ship - but on the Carnival Legend I was able to substitute out some of the more "fancy" dishes for more basic ones off of a substitution list.

 

It worked out great. Since we had almost everyone together in the morning for the Chinese tea ceremony we had a continental breakfast spread for them there - then we packed up the leftovers and brought them to the cruise terminal and passed them out while we were waiting to board - everyone loved this. There were juice boxes and pastries left to pass out that proved to be very popular. So when we boarded at 11:45, the guests weren't hungry so they ate a light lunch on the lido deck (all but 2 were sailing) and then went nuts on the food at the reception (and the alcohol). My family was especially fond of the chicken nuggets - so those went fast, but the staff was excellent at keeping the dish full so no one went hungry, there was something for everyone.

 

Then dinner was at 6!

 

We didn't pay for the 2 non-sailing guests for the buffet, but they had a good breakfast and snacked at the terminal with us.

When did you receive this list? I haven't seen anything giving options for the food.

Ignore that last post... I just went back through my paperwork.
