Hosting a Small Party In Your Suite

[tlatrice]

Has anyone ever hosted a small party in a suite? With, say, appetizers, and maybe even sodas/drinks? I'm just wondering if it can be done.

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

Sure, just call room service and tell them what you want, as in a couple cheese trays. You can get soft drinks at the bar and a bag of ice. If you already have booze in your cabin your guest can mix one or have them stop by a bar and get what they want on the way.

 

This Is what we have done in a gs

If you really wanted to go elaborate, such as having the hot/cold snacks like the Concierge lounge, Royal has various menus they offer for extra cost. They charge by the person per hour.

If you have a GS or above you can talk with the Concierge about ordering a plate or two of some hot/cold appetizers that is severed nightly in the CL during cocktail hour. Have no idea how you would handle drinks/sodas.

I didn't know that! We've had friends that have had the Concierge handle it for them. Looks like times have changed.

I don't remember exactly, but it could be that the price list I saw pertained to larger parties than would typically be in a stateroom.

If you want to throw a more "formal" cocktail party in your GS (or any cabin cateogry), you can arrange to have a bartender work your party. They basically come in, set up and tend bar for you and your guests. There is a by the hour charge for this as well as the alcohol that's served. You can also order (for a cost, various food items), or as others have said, make arrangements with the Concierge or order room service.

Well I've never actually had my own suite, but we attended a party in another cruisers suite. We met them years back on our roll call and big group of us hung out all cruise. They had a party just for us. They had room service deliver fruit and cheese platters and I remember there being wine and a bottle of rum. I'm honestly not sure how the booze got to the party.

 

It was a blast and it was really fun to hang out in such a nice suite.

I just go to the windjammer and load up a plate of cheese and meats. Then the promenade for some breads. People really don't need much, it is not like they are not on a cruise and are having to exist on office food. I think the biggest party in my cabin was about 16 on a TA. Most people brought stuff with them from the obvious sources. If you involve the cruise line for catering there is definitely a charge. they are happy to accomodate.
