Thread: Ever invited to a suite party?

I think that several of our roll call members will be having suite parties. We've never been fortunate enough to be invited to one before.

I feel funny going empty handed.

And since it's a cruise, it's not like I can bring liquor from home to take to the party.
What is proper "cruise etiquette?"

I have never been invited to a suite party either. However, I am planning on having one during our next cruise.
I dont know if there is any "proper cruise etiquette". I would do what I normally do when I get invited to friends house for a party or dinner; bring a bottle of wine or some sweets or flowers. I belive, since its a party a bottle of wine would be the best option.
I would feel funny going empty handed, too.

We have been to many, and since like you say, its on a cruise, bringing something to them is not expected nor protocol for them. Those that host the suite parties do it because they enjoy having guest come join them for a drink. They will have the ship provide the booze & hors d'Oeuvres. Trust me, showing up is gift enough for them.

However if it really bothers you, perhaps you could bring a 'Thank You" card from home to deliver to their cabin the next day

Ziggy hit it right on the head. A thank you note would be very much appreciated by your host.

Great idea! We never thought of taking thank you cards along with us as we like to pack light but that will be added to our list.
