Think about handling

Ask for manageable portions and a balanced selection. Dishes needing extensive cutting or several utensils may not suit a standing reception on a moving vessel.

Agree service and quantities

Confirm whether food is passed by staff or placed on a buffet. Ask how much is appropriate for the duration and whether the reception replaces a full meal.

Keep presentation useful

Leave space for guests to approach the food comfortably. A visually impressive display should not obstruct walkways or make serving difficult.

Routes, service availability and conditions are confirmed for each individual booking.
