Concierge requests

[thiabelle]

It's getting close to the time for me to send our email to Shoreside Concierge. These are the requests I am planning on making... Did I miss anything? (sailing on the 8/1 Dream)

- Cabana: I requested any cabana #6-#10 but will accept any (on the family beach cause of my DD- no Serenity for us)
- Tickets to the Princess M/G and Anna and Elsa
- Rainforest day passes (I wasn't sure if they can help or if I have to go through the website to order?)
- Tequila tasting- (I figure they won't know now what tastings there are but my thoughts were it can't hurt to ask)

We aren't doing any excursions or spa treatments. I have already requested a private table during dinner.

Thank you in advance for any advice/suggestions!

I can only answer my recent experience for the Dream 7/18 cruise. We only made cabana reservations. I asked about tastings and they only had wine and martini tickets. They said that I could ask what other tastings are available when I get on board. It sounds like you have what you want covered. Have a great voyage!

Thank you! I am so hopeful about a cabana. I know my DD and my parents will love it. I haven't told them about it in case I am not successful.

Cabana: I'd give actual numbers for your top choice and then ask for as close to that as you can get. For instance, I requested 5 as a first choice, then 4, then the lowest number I could get.

Meet & Greets: Instead of just asking for the tickets, I'd ask for a list of available times. That way you can be sure you are getting something that works with your schedule.

Tastings: I was told they only have beer, wine, and martini. Never hurts to ask.

Dining: I'd confirm private table. Do you have a preference on rotation? On our first cruise, we enjoyed being in AP for pirate night.

Other: Is your daughter interested in BBB? Shoreside can also schedule that and you can do it relative to your meet & greet times if you like.

This said it best. I would request a specific cabana #. I was told the same about tastings. Have a great cruise.

When sailing concierge you get a private table....no need to request one.

Tastings vary for each cruise...ask the on board concierge host for a list and they book it for you, not onshore concierge. I did a champagne tasting on the Dream last year..loved it. This past Feb. they had a liqueur and chocolate tasting but it was not at a good time.

You can also ask what the rotational dining options will be (although it can change prior to the cruise). You can request a rotation. They will ask for a specific reason why you selected that rotation in case it does change, so that they can attempt to accommodate your request.

FYI- pre booking wine, beer, and martini tastings is a new perk they are trying on the Dream. You're right though, there will be additional options on board.

Thank you all for your replies. I will request the cabanas like you suggested. I never thought of asking about the times for the tickets.
I really appreciate your answers!!

Thanks for the info. Onshore never mentioned it when I called.
