jayblue Posted October 10, 2015 #1 Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) I saw this question raised in an article I found on FB: Is it acceptable to grab a plate from the Windjammer and take it back to your cabin? Or, is it a no-no? I know RCCL has no rules against it, but is it a cruising faux pas? Edited October 10, 2015 by jayblue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docdan48 Posted October 10, 2015 #2 Share Posted October 10, 2015 It is done everyday, no problems. A lot of people carry food out to eat on the pool deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted October 10, 2015 #3 Share Posted October 10, 2015 You can take it any where you want to eat it...if you're taking it back to your cabin you can even ask a WJ waitstaff to provide you with a cover for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good to know. I am trying to anticipate every situation that could possibly happen. I've been on 3 cruises before, but always ate in either the MDR, WJ, or a couple of times in the Solarium when I was last on EOS (it was a little different than it is now).

What is bad is when those that do take plates of food and drinks back to their cabin and then place their dirty dishes in the hall. Looks trashy!

We saw a family with 2 full plates of food from WJ at one of the shows at the Aquatheater on Oasis this past week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take it on deck for the movies by the pool, since they don't provide popcorn, but the Aquatheatre is stadium style seating, isn't it?

thegima Posted October 11, 2015 #9 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Few weeks ago on FOS we saw a couple with full plates from the WJ eating in the Arcadia theater.. I personally couldn't care less, that just seems like a burden to carry that crap around and eat in a movie theater style seat lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is bad is when those that do take plates of food and drinks back to their cabin and then place their dirty dishes in the hall. Looks trashy! Just curious as to what is the protocol for the dirty dishes? Do you return them to WJ, call the room service number or leave them in your room until your next steward visit? Our upcoming will be our first and would like to know what the polite thing to do is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted October 11, 2015 #13 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Just curious as to what is the protocol for the dirty dishes? This is what we do: we leave them in the room. Dishes in the hall can be a tripping hazard' date=' and personally, I feel Room Service has enough to do especially being called to pick up dishes from the WJ that they didn't even deliver? [i']Not cool[/i] (in my opinion). You will get varying answers on this. :) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayblue Posted October 11, 2015 Author #14 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Ditto. I have 3 cruises under my belt, but this will be my first solo. I will need at least one night of peace, solitude, relaxation, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a little strange that cruisin mom thinks putting them in the hall is a faux pas in the first place. I'm fairly certain that it is the "expected" thing to do, though obviously they do clean the inside of your cabin during the standard times.

I didn't have an issue, if you read the thread, it was "davekathy" who said it was trashy to leave dirty dishes outside the room. However, I wonder how folks who need walkers or wheelchairs or other mobility devices to get around feel about this subject? I could see that being a big issue for some people.

The steward will take the dirty dishes, s/he absolutely will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it makes narrow halls more crowded so I just stack them inside for the room steward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mcatmcat Posted October 11, 2015 #21 Share Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) We never put them in the hall your room steward will pick them up. According to royal, they expect you to put them the dirty dishes in the hall. Your steward is not responsible for that but room service. Yeah, I didn't know it until I found an official answer from them Edited October 11, 2015 by mcatmcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark-Sheffield Posted October 11, 2015 #23 Share Posted October 11, 2015 The OP talked about taking food from WJ, which we have done on RCI and P&O ships, which from the replies on the thread is not an issue, but I wonder from the past whether it was and if passengers were prevented from taking buns or fruits from the self service areas ?

Yorkvillian: 😃😃😃😃 Mark Sheffield: The majority of the answers to the old question (it was from 2014) posed on FB were that people should just use room service. That menu is too limited for my taste, and I would only use it if I was (self) confined to my cabin by illness. Then, I was reminded that Norwegian tried to do the same. Their policy, however, appeared to be cost motivated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time we were prvented from taking food out on deck was on a cruise out of California, due to some state law. During the period when we were withing some specific distance from land, we could not have food outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
