Booking a meeting room

[vicd1969]

Assuming there is no conflict with ship activities or pre-organized groups, are regular passengers allowed to reserve a time block for one of the general meeting rooms? For example, any of those meeting rooms on deck 3 of the Vista class ships. We have a group of 30+ people, and may need some meeting space once or twice during the cruise. How much of an extra charge would it be?

I seriously doubt there will be any charges...even if you ask for some light snacks.

Can you call it a Meet & Greet?😯

If you want to do it in advance, call and get the email for the events coordinator for your ship. I know there's a cost for AV equipment rental, but I'm not sure about the room itself.  If you have specific days & times you want to meet, I'd try to book in advance.

Can call it whatever they want, but if they call it a Meet and Greet, per the common understanding of that cruise term, it ought to be open to all who seek to join, right?  I don’t think that would be an ethical approach. Call it what it is and ask the cruise ship event coordinator if they can allocate meeting room space. Best time with be later in the evening. My husband has used the rooms for Zoom work calls when empty after dinner and no one has ever interrupted him. Perhaps poking a head in but moving on when they see it is occupied. Assume someone with an actual reservation would make that known.
