Taking food/snacks to your cabin?

[Wishing on a star]

It has been a while, and I wonder if this is now against some kind of policy.

We had a late supper reservation once, and I stopped at the buffet and took some pre-dinner appetizer snacks to our cabin to enjoy with some wine, before we got ready for supper.

 

Is this still possible,  or is this now frowned upon, against policy?

The Regal in specific.

 

Thanks!

I think it's fine.  I was on a May cruise and had no mean stares when I did this.  I sometimes do this with breakfast items also.

No problem. People carry plates of food back to their cabin all the time. 

[Dreamer333]

Absolutely!! Enjoy!

[Potstech]

We do it all the time especially with cookies for a late night snack.

Just one thing, Please don't put the dirty dishes out in the hall.

All the best. Enjoy your cruise.

No problem. We love to get cheese and crackers from the IC to enjoy with some wine before dinner.

Because dishes and plates in the hallway become a hazard for people with difficulty walking or in wheelchairs or scooters. 

 

Just call room service for pick up.

It keeps the mice from having to go inside your cabin to get something to eat.🐭

As a variation to this subject may one take a plate of food with them to watch a movie under the stars (popcorn for dessert)?

Yes.

Dont forget room service!  Chocolate cake or cookies are a great snack.     Or both! 😉

 

[Colo Cruiser]

Yes

[voljeep]

a hot chocolate and a dessert from the IC is sometimes our last stop

 

and yes, milk and cookies from room service...before we quit drinking cold white milk...

never had a problem with bringing food/snacks/drinks from either the buffet or IC back to the room.

 

Well, sometimes said food doesn't actually make it all the way to the cabin. It simply vanishes... Must be sorcery of some kind.

It all depends on who you share your cabin with.  I once caught hell from my wife for taking a slice of pizza to our cabin.  She said it made the cabin smell like a Pizza Hut.  Personally, I don't see that as a bad thing.

I also heartily agree that you should not put your dishes out in the hallway.  Doing so creates a safety issue.

I usually go to the buffet for a leisurely breakfast, and after I am finished, I will often grab my wife's breakfast and bring it back to the cabin for her.  I later return the dirty dishes to the buffet -- I don't like the dirty dishes in the cabin.

 

We also will bring cookies to the cabin from the IC.

We take food to our cabin all the time from Lido.  I usually go up around 5:00 when the buffet opens and get some snacks.  We have wine on our balcony.  Sometimes we don't even go have dinner as the snacks fill us up.  We take advantage of our balcony  fully.  Also, we do not leave dishes outside our door on the floor.  if our cabin steward's cart is in the hall way, I put the dirty dishes on the bottom of his cart.  One of my pet peeves on cruises, dirty dishes outside a cabin door.

Exactly!  I never understood why people leave their dirty dishes and half-eaten food outside their door.  Do they do that at home?

That is not cool. He/she is not room service. He has enough to do without everyone piling dirty dishes on his/her cart. Pick up the phone and call room service.   🙁

Absolutely correct, if you are in a balcony you can play frisbee

Sure "it's cool," our room steward (if we leave the dishes in the room), takes the dirty dishes and puts them on his cart.  We've never been told not to, I only make his job easier for him.  I won't call room service and wait for someone to show up to take the dirty dishes away.  IMHO, that's just wrong.  One way or another they aren't going to be sitting on the floor in the hallways outside my door.  That's not cool.
