In Suite Caviar Service

[crispy46]

We are taking a Regent cruise this February and the suite amenities mention caviar service? Does anybody know what this entails?

[iamheisenberg]

Disturbingly, fish eggs!

[crispy46]

Bumpkins we Mainers may be but we do know what caviar is...just don't know what Regent does for this service.

[ronrick1943]

Haven't had it yet myself, but will soon. But I'm hoping it's service iced, with the extras you want on a silver tray by the Butler. And more than one time.

Regent charges for caviar service in the room, of course. Last I experienced years ago, the charges ranged from $35 for a portion (ounce or a bit more) of American Paddlefish caviar (not bad at all; far closer to "real" caviar than lumpfish eggs) and $80 for Sevruga. I'm sure it's higher now.

 

Of course, it's free in seemingly unlimited quantities at the Sunday brunch, generously at the upper level Seven Seas Society cocktail party, and typically the second night dinner. My guess is that it will be available at the New Year's Eve dinner on the Explorer Panama Canal cruise at the end of this year..

We had this on our last Regent cruise and it came with mini blinis, chopped hard boiled egg, and sour cream. A bottle of iced champagne accompanied it as well as a bottle of Stolichnya!

There was no extra charge as we asked for this instead of having canapés each day.

What level of suite were you in? Once - think that it was a cruise earlier this year, our butler came in with what you described (minus the bottle of champagne and Stolichyna). As you mentioned, there was no charge. Was this something that you had more than once in lieu of having canapes? Really curious as we will be in a Grand Suite for two weeks next month.

 

Thanks.

Please let us know, were in the Grand Suite - and I enjoy caviar. Don't drink so the Stolichyna or champagne isn't a big deal - but the caviar is. Hope they are right.

They do say a Caviar Service, serviced the proper in that Suite.

We were in a Grand Suite on the Navigator. At that time, 2011, it wasn't posted as a perk of the suite but my husband asked our butler if it would be possible to have this instead of the daily canapés which were something that we found unnecessary. I think we may have had it twice.

ronrick1943, we'll be in the Grand Suite for the 2nd part of our back-to-back cruise next month so I'll be sure to ask. As I recall, we had champagne with it - not vodka (they probably didn't bring vodka because we always have it in our suite). Elmwood, thank you for the information.

Hi Travelcat2,

 

Thanks for posting the room service menu. We can't wait for our December 28, 2016 Panama Canal cruise on the Explorer.

 

Regards to Dennis.

'A Sumptuous In-Suite Caviar Service' is advertised for Explorer Suites, Grand Suites and Master Suites on Explorer

[Mudhen]

OOO! That all sounds wonderful, but is that just for the upper crusters, or do ordinary folks get that menu too?

[JPR]

$25/ounce is an excellent price for good caviar. We'll be in an F1 on Explorer (everything we want in a stateroom that we occupy mostly while in slumber, including--for when we are awake--a bathtub and a nice verandah) and will happily order 4 ounces when we feel like having caviar, pay the $100 total supplement per serving, and still be WAY ahead on overall cost when compared with the suites that come with "free" caviar....

[Caroldoll]

Is that offered at no charge in those suites, or is there a charge.

 

We never get the hors d'ouvres, but I would take this even once. I just love caviar.

[JPR]

The earlier post said it is complimentary in the highest level suites.

[Caroldoll]

Yum. I will give it a try for once.

[ronrick1943]

I wonder is it one time in those suites at n/c or as many times as you want at n/c?

[crusin7]

Unfortunately it is only done once per cruise at no charge. We did the Panama Canal in September. Sumptuous is a good word to describe it. We loved it!:D We were in the Master Suite.

Thanks, thats to bad, but at $25.00 - I'd say a good price.
