Royal suite dinner with guest

[theeddie]

I am in the royal suite,  can I order room service from the mdr for 10 people ?

You will need to coordinate with the Concierge but they generally do let you throw/host suite parties...for a fee.  I assume you are on a smaller sailing without a genie.

I assume not all ten are in suites? I would think you can but would probably go through the suite concierge

I’m just curious how ten people can sit down to eat together. Also, considering that all courses are delivered at once unless you order them at spaced intervals it seems like a confusing mess.

This is true

 

As for 10 people.....
Royal Suite on Grandeur has table that fits 6 and then 2 bar stool seating areas plus a large shelf area you could use to stand/buffet style at

 

Royal Loft on Anthem (larger boat with a Genie) has a table that sits 8...that you might be able to squeeze 2 more into

there is seating for 8 by the couches  plus the table next to it,  I am not worried about the logistics of where people sit.
would they say no if I said bring me 10 orders of say lasagna ?  Has anyone ever tried this or is everyone guessing?

But will there be table space and chairs for everyone or will they be juggling plates and cutlery on their laps?  

[theeddie]

plenty of space 

[CruiseWendy]

If you are in a Royal Suite your Genie will pretty much make it happen for you. That's what they are there for. Enjoy!

I have not ordered 'dinners' for more people than I have had in the room previously.  Best bet is going to be an email to concierge as soon as you are close enough to sailing that they have reached out to you.

 

I know when I have dined in the room....as stated they bring it all at once....but they also....setup the table for you....

Looks like enchantment....same room essentially as the one on Grandeur....

I was surprised, but the RS on Serenade only has a 4 top in the dining area. And the balcony is large, but it also has a 4 top and two loungers

But its in a better location...so it has that going for it 😉

Are people just going to be balancing plates on their laps?  That doesn't sound very comfortable.

Can you order extra dinners for guests from the MDR room service menu?

[bturbeville]

Just did 13 in Royal Suite from MDR menu by calling room service.  They will either do it or not, if they don't then you can go the Genie/Concierge route.  So much depends on the staff running F&B on the ship.  Very little consistency.

officially, you can order as much as you want  with no fee  being in a suite.  

 

unofficially,  you may get pushback without going through the concierge first.  especially at very busy times for the  kitchen.

 

just remember:   everything comes at once, you still need to give the delivery person a (hefty) tip and there won't be any assistance in setting  up or cleanup afterward.

I seem to recall being able to call and have room service pick up the dishes after completing dinner.  A hefty tip was included for the service.
