Question For Ziggy

[spcl4cs_gal]

Knowing that you had the butler package when you went to HMC, what all does it include? Someone said something about a beach bag...is this the same as the one you normally get when you sail? Are drinks unlimited? We will have 4 in my green cabana in three weeks so I think the butler will be kept fairly busy. :D

My parents are currently on the Amsterdam til May2, but I will answer any questions I can if you want more :) Here is the post I posted for them about Butler service :)


HMC Cabana Butler Service deal Hi Everyone,
My parents (Grover Kids) are back from their Rotterdam cruise. As some of you already know they had the butler service and now I have the scoop for you all!
The butler arrived in the am to escort them off the ship (carrying everything, bags, cameras, you name it he carried it!) and onto the tender, then to the little tractor ride to the cabana. Where he stayed at or near by all day at your service. With this package you get your own chef off the ship from the Pinnicle Dinning room, he prepares your lunch on HMC and brings it to your cabana, I will list the menu below :)

Exclusive VIP Cabana HMC Luncheon Menu

Champagne toast on the beach with exotic fruit skewers with photo

**********

Mini Lobster Club Sandwich
On toasted sour dough with Baby Mache and Cherry Tomatoes

**********

Gazpacho (served in frozen pineapple) with Caribbean Twist

**********

Brochette BBQ Jumbo Prawns
Or
Brochette Citrus Chicken Breast on Traditional Full Leaves Caesar Salad with Giant Croutons

***********

5oz Cajun Sterling Silver Filet Mignon with grilled Asparagus, rolled Eggplant and Yellow Tomato
or
Chicken Breast Mignonette with Mango Salsa, grilled Asparagus, rolled Eggplant and Yellow Tomato

***********

Our Famous Zuiderdam (yes, its really called that) Drunken Whale
Drunken fresh fruit in Myers Rum
or
Chocolate Cake with Rasberry Coulis


Every section was served as stated unless there was a choice. The chef signs the menu and presents it to you.

Unlimited bar drinks all day, snorkel gear, floating mats were also provided. At the end of the day the butler helped pack you up, carry and escort you to the tenders, no waiting in line either, then to your cabin on the ship.

All in all my parents said it was a really nice once in a lifetime splurge.

Wow! Now I really can't wait!! Did your parents each get one of those beach bags? Did the hotel manager meet with them the day prior to their HMC arrival to discuss the menu?

Thanks for the info, Ziggy. :D

Thanks for the info, Ziggy. :DNo, just one bag, Yes he came to their cabin the night before to discuss the menu and what they wanted, their private cook brought all the food to HMC and cooked it there, so it was really hot, he even gives you a nice suprise after lunch, I dont want to tell you everything, gotta have a few suprises :) You will love it :) Your Brother is very special :)
