Default Renting Specialty Restaurants

I know it's allowed on other lines, but has anyone been able to do that on Royal Caribbean?

I know lots is changing with Royal Romance, but wondered others experiences.

We looked into it, but were unable to make it happen. As I recall, we had to make arrangements through the RCCL groups department. It's a long story, but our party of 60 was not considered an official "group". At the time, they only allowed group bookings above a certain size to pre-book the specialty restautants on our ship. Policies have probably changed and might be different depending on which ship you are sailing. So it's worth checking with RCCL.

Yes, you can rent out specialty restaurants with Royal Caribbean. It is not handled by Royal Romance (but at first we were told they would handle it). It took a few weeks to see who would handle the booking. We are doing it for our wedding this upcoming August. Since we did our group booking through our travel agent, we had to do it through agent who in turn had to contact the event coordinator of the ship. If you booked directly through RCCL contact the Groups department they they will get in contact with the ships coordinator.

If you have any questions. I will be more than glad to help.

There is a website for Royal that has a lot of information including pricing for groups.

http://www.royalcaribbeanincentives.com/


We are trying to plan a large group wedding as well. Did they give you an idea of what venue you would get? Most ship weddings are small and can use the chapel. We want to be outside, but are having trouble finding a ship that has an outdoor area that can accommodate 80-100.

Default We did

Hi everyone,

We were able to reserve Portofino for our wedding. We did it through our group coordinator!

It was a good deal.

When is your wedding and how did you mange this? Was it costly or just the price of all the people the resturant would sit when full. How many people at your wedding and for how long do you get it?

Haha sorry for the million questions!
