$24 cheese and fruit welcome aboard platter

Has anone ever ordered this? It looks really good, and the pics of the free room service cheese tray look a little anemic now!

Do they have flavored creamer on board? I prefer vanilla flavored creamer and my DD likes it in her AM milk, too! Keeping our fingers crossed. Or we can bring on singles, if we had to!

On this one I would say just order room service on board, the all hands on deck is similar, doesn't have the fruit but is free and all you have to do is tip room service, IMHO, go for some Wine, as there is so much food on ship.

A T/A got it for us once, it was nice, but as I say there is a free alternative.

Not that I am aware off, but you can ask, usually there is some milk /creamer available at the soda station, and in Topsiders.

Personally, we would not order a fruit and cheese plate to have the my room only because after the embarkation lunch that we have as soon as we get onboard we are usually quite full....seems a waste to me.

to me it will be a waste of money you are going to get all the food you want for free.

I do agree, as my PP, The 'All hands on deck'' room service is free and a lot of that is simular.

we ordered it on our first cruise, and yes, it went to waste...we were full from lunch and then only in the room a short time before it was off to dinner.....now champagne is another story!

I agree -- my TA got the fruit and cheese platter for us, which was very sweet of her, but really, it's too much! I'll echo what others said -- there's plenty of food you already can have for no extra charge, and you're full from eating lunch. I'll add that the "coolers" aren't really refrigerators, and they are small, too, so you can't even really store this well. And even if you did, well, you're not likely to be hungry -- ever -- on the cruise so when would you eat it? LOL!

I just had the Iron Horse Fairy Tale Cuvee at the Food and Wine Festival at DCA. Very nice!

We had the cuvee at the Palo wine tasting, and it really was delicious. I would definitely order that over the cheese tray, which I agree is definitely a waste of money. I would be more likely to order one of the gift items or flowers than food. We'll all be in food up to our necks all week!
