58Piano Posted July 15, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Has anyone been able to do a balcony dinner when they have an inside cabin? Could they do the dinner in another location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted July 16, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I wish they'd offer the balcony dinner in the Sanctuary, which is rarely used at night. They could have a few tables, well separated, spread around the edges of the Sanctuary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted July 16, 2016 #3 Share Posted July 16, 2016 If you don't have a balcony for the balcony dinner, it will be inside your cabin. If you don't want to eat in the cabin, don't do the "balcony dinner"...go somewhere else to eat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanabananna Posted July 16, 2016 #4 Share Posted July 16, 2016 If you don't have a balcony for the balcony dinner, it will be inside your cabin. QUOTE] I think I would skip the "balcony" dinner inside the cabin. I would think the smell of the foods would linger in the room. Might think about that before you order it. Whatever you do decide to do, It will be special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted July 16, 2016 #5 Share Posted July 16, 2016 A friend surprised us with the balcony breakfast when we were in an outside cabin, not a balcony one. I think it would be crowded to do the Ultimate Balcony Dinner in an inside or outside cabin, but possible if you want to. The funny thing was that our friend was told that we would have breakfast on a balcony. She envisioned us being led somewhere on the ship where there was a spare balcony. Apparently the rep didn't think that some people don't have balcony cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro Flyer Posted July 16, 2016 #7 Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) Has anyone been able to do a balcony dinner when they have an inside cabin? Could they do the dinner in another location? Based on this statement from Princess, the Ultimate Balcony Dinner is not available in an inside cabin: "Enjoy an intimate, romantic dining experience with breathtaking views and a special meal served by your own dedicated waitstaff on your stateroom balcony". http://www.princess.com/ships-and-experience/food-and-dining/specialty-restaurants/ultimatebalconydining.html#.V4mbrZBHarU Once we had our UBD inside of our balcony cabin due to inclement weather which I would never consider in an inside cabin because there isn't even enough room for the small round table included in an inside cabin.

Astro Flyer Posted July 16, 2016 #8 Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) I have done the balcony breakfast in an inside room. The UBB does not set up a table to provide the meal & only stacks up plates of food to serve yourself. The UBD is served at a table by tuxedoed waiters in courses & is much different than the breakfast. Edited July 16, 2016 by Astro Flyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro Flyer Posted July 16, 2016 #11 Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) Room service. ;) That's it. ;) Better room service food with a half bottle of champagne for $45 and based on this description by Princess it's not intended for an inside cabin but as we know experiences can vary. Deluxe balcony breakfast for two Enjoy a four-course gourmet breakfast and a half bottle of chilled sparkling wine – plus breathtaking views – from the comfort of your balcony.

Obviously you've never experienced the balcony dinner. :rolleyes: It's not about just eating, it's a very lovely, special, and romantic experience. Unfortunately we can't all cruise in balcony cabins all the time. The ambience just wouldn't be there in an inside cabin, even if there was enough space. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted July 16, 2016 #14 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Room service. ;) If room service offered the same quality of food as the UBD does I'd be more than happy. Princess room service food is awful IMHO! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shogun Posted July 16, 2016 #19 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Hi For OP If you have an inside or ocean view and want to do Balcony Dinner, ask to speak to HGM, if a special occasion they can often do something to help out, either open up a cabin under maintenance, or use a table outside Sabatinis, yours Shogun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
