UmaDaughterOfUrsula Posted January 14, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 14, 2018 For Standard cabin NOT suite, aqua or concierge. Not that I'll use it but parents might so I'll ask - What does one do with the plates/tray after we're done? Seems in many hotels people leave it on the floor in the hall but I'm thinking the halls on ships are tighter so that shouldn't be done as they'd be in the way more. Leave it in cabin for the room steward? or call to have it collected? Also Tips for room service is cash correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvcrusn Posted January 14, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 14, 2018 We generally leave the dishes in the room or on the balcony where we have breakfast and our steward clears them when cleaning the room. Cash is always correct for tips. Most times you'll have to run after the attendant that brings the room service as they are in and out so quickly. We've never seen one linger as they do when delivering room service at a hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billslowsky Posted January 14, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I prefer to leave them in the hall, three doors down from my cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fouremco Posted January 14, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Either call to have them picked up or simply leave them for your cabin attendant. Trays in the hallway make it extremely difficult for those in wheelchairs or with other mobility issues to navigate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamloops50 Posted January 14, 2018 #9 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I've been told to leave them in the hall. Then call room service and one of the room service waiters will pick them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare xxpinksaltxx Posted January 14, 2018 #10 Share Posted January 14, 2018 We leave them in the room. Just prefer walking through the halls without dirty glassware and plates, and probably makes it safer for passengers too.

Rare cruisestitch Posted January 14, 2018 #11 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Please don't put them in the hall. They are a hazard to the blind and mobility impaired. And sometimes to the rest of us, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gold1953 Posted January 14, 2018 #12 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Tripping hazard to have the trays on the floor outside the door. Halls are not wide enough to pass each other as they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excitedofharpenden Posted January 14, 2018 #13 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Ring room service after you’ve finished and ask them to collect the tray. This is what they prefer you to do too. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Room service/housekeeping will be happy to retrieve them from your room, if you give them a call. You can also just call your room steward who will also take the trays away.

Rare Lady Arwen Posted January 14, 2018 #16 Share Posted January 14, 2018 They would prefer you not to do this. Phil If housekeeping has not picked up your trays before you want to leave, just leave them in the cabin and your room steward will take care of it....just call them. They much prefer that you do this rather than putting the tray in the hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvcrusn Posted January 14, 2018 #17 Share Posted January 14, 2018 They would prefer you not to do this. Phil This is not meant as an argument, just as a point of information. How do you know? We try to be polite and considerate guests and don't want to ruffle feathers or take advantage, and certainly don't want to be rude. If leaving the dishes for our attendant is incorrect we'd like to know. Also, we leave the dish with the afternoon canapes for our attendant to take when he/she does the nightly turn-down.

G.M.T. Posted January 14, 2018 #19 Share Posted January 14, 2018 My first choice would be if a scooter is left in the hallway every night and maybe run over people and things (with the exception of fake service dogs) is to leave tray and plates on the scooter seat. Then call security and have everything removed. PS. DW sometimes has to use a wheelchair onboard, which is always stored in the cabin, overnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Which is why my first recommendation was to call, but leaving them for your attendant is still a better choice than placing them in the hallway.

lienf Posted January 14, 2018 #23 Share Posted January 14, 2018 When you are on your cruise and order room service, what about asking your server what they would expect you to do with the dishes when done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miched Posted January 14, 2018 #24 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I was walking out with some plates to return to the buffet (couldn’t find a table for breakfast so we dined on our balcony) . My attendant seen me with them and said that he would take care of it and to leave them in my cabin. Happy cruising 🌊🛳🇺🇸🌅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
