Voyager of the Seas Dining Room
When planning special events, menu choices are typically not given the careful thought they should. Usually, the choice of what to serve attendees is based on what keeps the costs down while filling them up. Coffee, pastries, and bagels are affordable for breakfasts, sandwiches and chips with a bottle of soda make an excellent lunch, and dinners, if they’re provided, are full of sauces and butter. And we mustn’t forget dessert – cakes, cookies, and other sugary confections hit the target!
But, if you’re planning a special event and you prefer your attendees listen to your message rather than fighting a mid-afternoon crash from the wrong foods, menu planning is an important step. Unfortunately, it’s also an expensive part of the budget: food prices have been on the rise for the last several years, and the “bang for the buck” just isn’t there like it used to be.
Cruise lines used by Exclusive Events At Sea to host special events of all kinds include most meals in the price. Attendees have the option of getting what they want from a buffet line, or they can get a freshly cooked burger with hot fries at the poolside grill. Dinner is taken care of too, with a menu selection that often rivals the finest land-based restaurants in quality and presentation. Each meal offers a variety of choices, including health-specific menu items low in calories and fat, a variety of fresh fruits and veggies, and the ability to accommodate special diets such as Kosher meals.
Cruise ship dining offers your event attendees the chance to experiment with their palates, get a bite to eat whenever they want to, and ensures they’ll never go hungry. You, as the planner, don’t have to figure out a menu or stress over how to pay for it!
