Rare DisneyJen Posted January 28, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Greetings fellow cruisers! I am trying to plan @DJ's DH birthday celebration on our upcoming cruise on Equinox. With all the changes to Room Service does anyone know if you can still order dinner en suite from the MDR menu? TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted January 28, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Your butler can take care of ensuite dining for you. I believe he/she can provide either MDR or Luminae dinner in your suite. Confer with him in advance of the day you wish to dine ensuite. I hope you have a suite larger than Sky, as the table is not big enough for comfortable dining.

GastroGnome Posted January 28, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 28, 2023 In suite dining from the restaurants is only available in upper suites. You can order from the room service menu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted January 28, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 28, 2023 We had dinner in our Celebrity suite in December but could only get the MDR offerings, not those from Luminae. I have read that it is no longer possible to order from the MDR menu for dinner in your stateroom. It wasn’t clear if that was for all cabin categories or not.

Rare DisneyJen Posted January 28, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Our first Celebrity suite experience was in a RS last June on the Summit. We had several hiccups on that cruise so this one is a do-over of sorts. I realize the level of service between a RS and SS will be different. I currently have Murano reserved but knowing @DJ's DH he would be happy with dining on the balcony with MDR options. I agree @jelaynethere hasn't been clarification on the new room service rules for those in suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted January 28, 2023 #6 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Royal suites have a nice dining table Sky suites do not, much rather go to Luminae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that all suites are exempt from the new Room Serice charges and rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I am hoping @terrydtx! Currently I have a Cabana reserved as well as dinner at Murano. We are scheduled to arrive in SJU at 3 p.m. We consider this a sea day for us as we've been to SJU more than 20 times so there is not need to disembark. We have an aft SS which has the bigger table on the veranda so I am thinking an al freso dinner would be perfect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying to book the Tuscan Grill on night 1 for our May trip on the Equinox but am met with a message saying: "We’re stuffed! Reservations are currently not available." I assume that means I've waited too long, and 4 months out they are already booked? Or do reservations for the first night only open up later? Thanks....

It is also available in the Sky Suite. Had it 3 times on a 10-night cruise recently on the Equinox. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes...we used the round table on the balcony; brought my own round tablecloth (the butler may provide but I didn't want to chance it) and one of those battery type large round candles. Sounds perfect...he's going to enjoy a terrific b'day! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DisneyJen Posted January 31, 2023 Author #13 Share Posted January 31, 2023 What a great idea on the table cloth and battery candles👍 Thanks @Oceangoer2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DisneyJen Posted January 31, 2023 Author #14 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Thanks @LMHSRN and @jelayne👍 If the dining menus in the app is correct @DJ's DH will be happy with the MDR menu. We have enough OBC to burn that I can "splurge" for the rib eye which is showing an up charge in the app for suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably why he gave me a 'side eye' when he spotted the cloth/candle....as I said, I would have asked but 'be prepared' is my girl guide motto and just can't shake it..😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
