Weird BA buffet question

Does the Garden Cafe on the BA have trays to carry your food? Our cabin is not far away and I would love to take breakfast back to the cabin to enjoy on our balcony. Thanks!

No trays (remember, it is a buffet, not a cafeteria), however:

You certainly can carry your breakfast on a plate.

or

Have room service deliver your breakfast.

or

Bring your own tray from home.

It all depends on what you want.

NCL hasn't had trays in years.

When I'm in a suite I ask the butler to leave one as my kids love to eat in the suite before they go to kids club

This time I had a balcony room and brought a cheap plastic one from Party City.

Thanks everyone for the quick responses. Just wondered how juggling a plate, an OJ and a cup of coffee was going to work, but you have offered up solutions. Thanks again!

We often get a plate of food from the buffet for the room. I fill one plate for two. Place another plate on top and take the room.

If I want OJ - I drink it there (lucky for me, wife does not).

We do coffee on the room.

Or.........get room service the first day and keep the tray! :D

Thou could have room service deliver the oj and coffee and bring down the food from the buffet :)!

If you order coffee/juice/rolls/etc on the card you hang on your cabin door at night....well, you can keep the tray, just remind your cabin steward to leave the tray...

We often find ourselves wandering from place to place during sea days and use mugs with lids (shown on table) to carry coffee, iced tea, etc. The mugs also hold more than the standard cups. One word of caution... pour contents from regular cups and glasses into them when refilling.

Interesting....

Dear kenlorz,

No question is weird..it is the ones which think they are..

How else are answers attained?;)

BOTTOM LINE::;

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On NCL , the cost containment is of utmost priority on all the Ships.:cool:

So, yes, no Trays. Otherwise paying cruisers would eat more and the associated costs jump higher for NCL.

Or just bring your own;)

We did after our 1st cruise, got one from the dollar store.

I've asked for a tray, and they were glad to get me one!!!!!!!!

I'm not the OP, but thanks so much for these ideas. We love spending time on the balcony, so I'm often the person heading back to the cabin, juggling drinks and snacks for the family, wishing that I had a couple of extra hands. This will really help!

Just be careful with the tray out on your (regular) balcony. Remember that any tray is going to be MUCH larger than that teeny tiny table! :eek:
