Room service and to go food

[monkeybone]

If you read the official general post and what others have said about the buffet - you can still get food and take it elsewhere. Tell me, how are they going to police the buffet? Don't worry, I can wait.

 

This from another thread, regarding who said what -

 

What the OP posted, turned out to be exactly right! Thank you Footballparent for giving us the heads up.

 

Maywell the new rules on NCL say you are not allowed to take food back to your room. If you have a problem with that then you need to cruise on another cruise line.

 

Here is the link that is on Cruise critic news:

 

http://www.cruisecritic.com/news/news.cfm?ID=6346

 

(4:20 p.m. EDT) -- Norwegian Cruise Line has banned "takeaway" food from its ship restaurants, main dining room and buffet areas.

 

In other words, if you want to bring food to someone in your cabin or bring your dessert back to your room to enjoy later, you won't be able to do so.

[GORDONCHICK]

For our guests’ well-being and to maintain a beautiful clean environment for all of our guests to enjoy, we ask that they enjoy their meals while dining at one of our many restaurants. Every ship in the Norwegian fleet offers dining at any time day or night for guests to enjoy, with a wide variety of options and cuisines available complimentary.

 

Sorry, I call BS. I guess I'll have to pack boots for my upcoming-too-soon-to-cancel cruise. And depending on how this one goes, we will probably be canceling our November one (the one where we should/would reach platinum). Let's just say FDR and all his changes has kinda pushed me over to X or RCCL, or possibly even Princess at this point. I've been wanting to sail on a Solstice class ship anyway....

[Mutumbojimbo]

Find it incredible that you would want to take left overs away with you. Isn't there enough food onboard ?

 

I don't bring leftovers but I often bring breakfast back to the room for my wife, so she can relax in the morning, and Carnival (the only line I've cruised with so far) doesn't offer hot breakfast from room service.

[russianmom]

No more pool deck BBQ's? What about the hot dog cart on Breakaway? Where can you eat your pastry from Carlo's?

I can't wait to hear how this play out.... :confused:

[mking8288]

NCL, if you have problems with maintaining a clean ship due to plates & dishes left in the narrow hallways of your *AWAY class ships, I STRONGLY suggest you have a management & staffing problem and the solution is to reassign and assure that there are crew members assigned to cleaning duties onboard - and, that include those that are generous enough to pay the $7.95 delivery charge or fees or whatever it is called nowadays to help offset the operating costs.

The only thing which seems to garner more attention is a mitsugirly review... :)

 

I can't believe I actually caught that post in all of these, but it still gave me a chuckle.

 

 

Sigh. I am getting more and more distraught over the changes going on with NCL since Kevin left. He turned that line around and made it what it is today (which was successful) only for Del Rio to start tearing it apart and crumbling it in a matter of months losing a lot of devoted cruisers.

 

I always try to remain on the positive side when things happen...whether it be changes or something happening bad on my cruise. Anyone around here knows that I can take all my broken bones I get on a cruise and make it into a positive and still have fun. However...things just seem to be going a bit too far lately.

 

These changes...well for the most part, they do not effect me. But as a whole, it is affecting the cruising community in big ways.

 

I have to say that I have only ordered room service once and I didn't like it at all. We normally book interiors and well, to me it's just not much fun to eat in an interior. However, we have been booking balconies lately and I can definitely see where people would want to get a danish and enjoy their coffee on their balcony. Do I? Nope. Never have. So that's not my gripe.

 

My gripe would be that yes...I own a child. :p She started cruising with us at 3 years old. Back then I think about the few times that we sat down to eat and we were called to come get her from the kids club. They packed up our dinner to take with us back to the room. Then there was the time that we picked her up from the kids club and she was so tired that after sitting down and ordering at Blue Lagoon, she fell asleep. They packed it up for us and we took it back to the room (obviously not being able to go out to get anything else after that). For reasons like this, for people with kids, for people that might need snack because of being diabetic or an illness, they get interrupted at dinner for whatever reason...this all saddens me.

 

But I honestly can't see how they are going to enforce the buffet. Seriously. I can't see anyone chasing you down and grabbing your plate as you go by. If my child is sleeping and we want a snack and someone has to stay back at the room...you best believe I'll walk back with something. I would never be one to disobey the rules, however, this is going a bit too far. What happen to freestyle cruising?

 

For NCL to come on here and act like we are just too plain stupid to figure out that their lame excuse of either it being a health issue or for the 'beauty of the ship" just makes them look ignorant in my book. If that's the case, you wouldn't be having room service you greedy shiznits...and charging for it PLUS 18% gratuity seriously?! You would put a stop to ALL food in the rooms...since it makes it dirty and unsanitary and all.....

 

Your timing is the worse! You excuses make it worse! The way you go about these announcements (or lack there of) are the worse!

 

I WILL NOT pay you extra to order room service. You will not get money out of me for that.

 

 

All the changes with the specialty dining now...kids paying full price (I think it was changed or I read something about it?) and the show on the first night no longer being offered as part of the package...and whatever else that I can't seem to keep up with the changes....I WILL NOT be paying to go to the specialty dinning. I will only eat at the free venues from here on out! You will not get money out of me for that.

 

 

NCL has upped the DSC now. I noticed the price of the soda package has increased. It's just one thing after another lately. The madness isn't ending, it just keeps getting worse. NCL has now gave new meaning to feestyle cruising for sure. They ARE out to nickel and dime you as others have said in the past. I will pay my cruise fare, I will pay my DSC and they will not get another dime out of me for anything extra that I would normally do...specialty dining, excursions, ice cream on the Getaway, lobster tails danish (sniff sniff I'll miss you) and so on.

 

 

I have my upcoming Dawn cruise in 29 days. I will NOT be buying a future cruise certificate. I do have 1 FCC left on my account. What happens between now and when I use that will determine if I ever buy another. I was trying to sail every ship in the fleet (and have been doing a pretty good job of it), but I think I will fall short now with all these changes. I knew there was a reason that I have now tried Carnival out twice and completely LOVED it. Go figure...:cool: They might be my new "permanent" ships of choice when it's all done and over with.

 

I feel like NCL has tried to insult my intelligence and it's not going over well. :(

NCL, you REALLY should start paying attention.

[karinad]

These new rules about not taking food out of the restaurants is starting to make me feel like I'm back in catholic grade school in the late 1960's!

Wow! Poignantly put, Mitsugirly. That is going to leave a mark.

 

I hope that NCL is hearing this.

 

There are many of us who understand the desire to increase revenue, but it is horrible to do so by inconveniencing (not to mention insulting the intelligence of) the passengers. I would much rather have a small increase in the cruise fare, than have to figure out an alternative plan for meals if, say, a child needed to be picked up from the kids club, or if my spouse was tired (or sick) and just wanted some specific soup not offered on the RS menu, or... whatever.

 

As I have stated before, this policy is going to negatively impact the health and safety of the passengers-- If a passenger is not feeling well, and wants some specific food item brought to them they now have to either order it off room service-- which they are unlikely to do for one item (if it's even available), or go and consume it on location. This will increase the transmission of viral illness, IMHO.

If you ever thought a restaurant/venue was busy before, just you wait. Apparently many people like to spread around the ship or their room from casual take out places or to have their dessert later after dinner time. Now that they can't, you'll find most of them jammed into restaurants at similar times. Good luck getting a table. Have fun with any service you're expecting to get.

 

Anyone want to bet how many housekeeping staff will be put to pasture because the ships will magically stay cleaner now?

 

I think if you advertise Freestyle you have to kinda, sorta be Freestyle too otherwise the nomenclature means nothing. And if your company doesn't mean anything, well, how far are you going to get from where you are today? And will it be in the right direction? NCL, you will need a LOT more than first timers to keep your upcoming megaships packed and operating profitability to pay the note.

 

I understand a business needs to generate revenue and hopefully make a profit, and for a new CEO especially to differentiate and take things to another level. But they should remember that they are the commodity, not the customer.

 

The customer is the guest. NCL is in the hospitality business. We give NCL discretionary income for a vacation that is supposed to be relaxing and out of the ordinary day to day life. Someone up there ought to get that message loud, clear, and soon before they end up with some capacity problems.

Have to cruise on a different line? I'll tell that to the check in person when they want me to board my cruise tomorrow.

 

This isn't just for new cruisers. This affects people who can't cancel.

I agree with you the ship is going to feel even more crowded then before.

 

Absolute madhouse!

[SJ]

Whoever thought this is a good idea must not been on one of their ships. Not everyone drinks, use the pool but everyone has to eat. Yes, some would be forced to pay for room service to avoid the crowd and agravation but is irritating their customer base NCL's goal? Crappy products don't make money in the long run. Will we be referring to NCL as the next jcpenny? Will the other cruiselines follow or be smart enough to keep status quo to attract ncl passengers? The next couple of years will be very interesting for the cruise industry.

Thanks for sharing.

Beautifully said.

Such a strange policy.

Will be amazed if they stick to it.

[sparks1093]

If you read the official general post and what others have said about the buffet - you can still get food and take it elsewhere. Tell me, how are they going to police the buffet? Don't worry, I can wait.

 

This from another thread, regarding who said what -

 

Enforcement is not the issue, the issue is the policy itself. Should they have such a policy as not allowing passengers to take food from the buffet I for one would comply because it is what is expected. It would not change my cruise experience that much for that one cruise but would certainly be a consideration for future bookings.

[mitsugirly]

If I know how corporate directives work, I'd guess that the housekeeping staff will probably be tasked with reporting any plates or cups found in the staterooms so that they can add a "cleanup fee" to the cabin charges. If that happens, the line of unhappy people at Guest Services on the last day will be much longer (and angrier) than ever before! On the other hand, they might leave the ban as a "request" for now, to see how it works out. If there's no backlash other than people complaining on message boards -- in other words, no negative effect on profits -- they could add enforcement later, after everyone gets used to the idea.

 

 

There will be plates and cups in the room from room service. There's no difference.

 

Somehow I think a lot of the room stewards would think twice about reporting anyone in fear of not getting any tips at the end of the cruise. I have even read reports of room stewards bringing ashtrays to people for $$ (not at all saying this is right, they are breaking the rules themselves now and I would think they would be fired for doing so)...just saying. Most of them go out of their way to make you have an enjoyable time.

 

Plus who's to say you bring a plate back to your room to consume and then when you leave you take it back out with you? With people putting their trays outside the doors...who's to say someone isn't going to walk a few doors down and put their tray by someone else's door making it look like it never came from them? (I've had this done to me several times...open the door and empty dishes...like :confused:). Done with your plate and don't want it to be found? Stick it under your bed...you know the room stewards don't look under there during the cruise...if they did, they would have picked up the dirty underwear left from a previous cruise in my room. There's plenty of ways to "hide" the evidence and I'm pretty sure people would get pretty darn creative. I'm not at all saying for everyone to go against the rules, just saying it will happen.

 

I have been VIP several times and they bring your plates of "goodies" to the room...where they might sit and sit all day long. I guess they don't have any concern for my health when it comes to this food and possible illness or the dishes that will need to be cleaned up from this as well. :rolleyes:

 

I can probably count on 1 hand how many times I have ever brought food back to my room (and it usually involved our young daughter), so it really doesn't have too much of an impact on me. But now being told that I won't be "allowed" (like if I'm a child) and if there's ever a need for it, you bet I will do it. If they try to charge me a cleaning fee...they can have my DSC as a cleaning fee because those will be removed. ;)

 

NCL will probably get 2 more cruises out of me (the one I have coming up and to use up my FCC) and I will be the biggest cheapskate there ever was on them. Then I will move on and cruise with another line. I'm almost ashamed to say I cruise with Norwegian at this point. :(

[BCHappyGal]

Charging for room service and not allowing food out of the dining area ... 2 more great reasons why I will never cruise on NCL again!

[luvtheships]

I didn't even know CC had a FB page! LOL looking now, Thanks :)

 

But remember when you post on that type of fb page.....the potential for every single fb user on the planet to see your personal stuff is exponential even on a closed group fb page.... You do not know who else is a member

 

So you are potentially giving up your real name and cruise date..... And possibly your home town and your kids pix/profile pix etc ....to complete strangers.... But that just mho of course

Please tell me this does not apply to drinks/ alcoholic beverages? Does anyone know?

 

If I go to the bar and get a Daquari and want to drink it on my room balcony I should be allowed to do so!

[brownie9]

Just saw this on another site

 

 

"I am on the Gem right now. I asked at guest services about this and they told me the room service charge will go into effect next cruise (May 2) and it is true that restaurants will no longer let you take leftovers back to your cabin or have them sent there."

 

Geri

My DH and I enjoy some bread and cheese along with a glass of wine on our balcony before dinner. We always get this from the buffet. We have refrigerators in the rooms, this seems to be a way to get that 7.95 charge for room service. I will re-think another cruise with NCL in the future. We do have other choices......

[brownie9]

Guess our upcoming cruise will be our first and last cruise with Norwegian. Starting to charge for room service is ridiculous. Anyone who had a cruise booked prior to this change should be grandfathered and allowed free room service. Very poor customer service to make this change after people have already purchased cruises.

 

I agree, I will be looking into other cruise lines in the future.....

Please tell me this does not apply to drinks/ alcoholic beverages? Does anyone know?

 

If I go to the bar and get a Daquari and want to drink it on my room balcony I should be allowed to do so!

 

Interesting question......:confused: (though I do not see them doing this and thus cut down bar revenue !)

Waiter in specialty restaurant: "Would you like dessert?" Me: "Yes, please, but I'm so full, please package it to go and I'll have it later."

 

"Sorry, but we can't do that" Me: "Ok, I'll just sit here for an hour or so until I can eat it"

But remember when you post on that type of fb page.....the potential for every single fb user on the planet to see your personal stuff is exponential even on a closed group fb page.... You do not know who else is a member

 

So you are potentially giving up your real name and cruise date..... And possibly your home town and your kids pix/profile pix etc ....to complete strangers.... But that just mho of course

Some people here need that lesson. They post here and post there, revealing their name, their location, etc. It's crazy.

No one who is on a ship now or just returned, has reported any issues with drinks.
