Ultimate Balcony Dinner with No Balcony - Is it possible?

[Sailfish]

We have a stateroom with no balcony, just a window. Is it possible to have the Ultimate Balcony Dinner set up outside somewhere on the ship? Anywhere would be fine, just not in our cabin. 

 

Just curious. Thanks.

While it might be able to be arranged on ship, expect to be told no.

The crew members usually bring a table, then return it if you have one in your cabin or balcony.  I feel like they would try their best to accomodate you.

I have heard of people being accommodated in a small area of the Sanctuary - those in insides or ocean views.  Haven't tried it personally but it doesn't seem unreasonable to accommodate a solid portion of their guests that don't book balcony or above.

We had a UBD moved into our balcony cabin due to inclement weather.
 

Although there might not be sufficient room in an oceanview cabin. It doesn’t hurt to ask onboard & if they have few UBDs booked they might provide the dinner…a great experience! 😊

We have done the UBD in inside cabins, oceanview cabins, window suites, and in different public areas ondeck.  Its always great.

Here you go.  Best location ever thanks to Neville Saldana.  Deck 15 aft, behind the one-five, Grand Princess Transatlantic.

And after sunset......

Excellent workaround.  I assume you made you request courteously and, afterwards, thanked Mr. Saldana profusely.

When I read the OP's question my initial reaction was "NO WAY!!".  

 

I'm really glad that Princess is able to accommodate this.  Enjoy!

He actually suggested it since we did 3 UBD's on the trip, and he told us he knew a great location.  He was right!

That's a terrific story.

 

Three UBDs on a single cruise????  Did you check with the Guinness people to see if that was some kind of record?

 

One per cruise is our max.

One is certainly enough with all the food they bring!  It was a long cruise, so we were able to just do one each week.  It's really a great value, well worth the price.
