DeAnna K. Posted March 4, 2020 Report Posted March 4, 2020 So I see it says "A convenience fee of $7.95 applies to all items listed in the all-day menu and the American section of the breakfast menu." Would this be $7.95 for each item or $7.95 per order? Just curious incase I want to order while on the ship next month. Quote
KristiZ Posted March 4, 2020 Report Posted March 4, 2020 It is per order. Neesa, jaredhamburg and DeAnna K. 2 1 Quote

Its a great way to grab a quick breakfast or as we like to do, have some fruit, coffee and such delivered earlier in the morning to have as you get ready for the day, even if we are planning a later breakfast, we often get something early to start the day. We like to think of this as breakfast "appetizers." Happy cruising! Okgladgal, Eaglelover, nova_gal and 4 others 7 Quote

To @SteveinSC and everyone on this blog - thank you for all of the wonderful tips!!

SteveinSC Posted March 4, 2020 Report Posted March 4, 2020 @nova_gal I posses no ORIGINAL wisdom in regards to cruising. Im preparing to take my 6th cruise a month from today, and this will be my 1st after having discovered this forum/message board. IT WAS A GAME CHANGER and I cant tell you how prepared I feel for my cruise. I, now, feel like I did every previous cruise by the seat of my pants, and cruised like a savage. It never occurred to me to have the continental breakfast appetizers every morning, either. But once I read about it on here.....BOOM. Done. The people here are amazing, and I too am eternally grateful for them. PRebecca, Neesa, KristiZ and 5 others 3 5 Quote

MaryCS62 Posted March 5, 2020 Report Posted March 5, 2020 As I don't care for the room service coffee, and in fact, prefer iced coffee in the summertime/or cruising in warm weather areas, I get my iced latte (courtesy of the Deluxe drink package) the night before, stick it in the little fridge, then order pastries & toast to start the morning -- and hope DH gets up for the door :) Eaglelover 1 Quote

I would agree that it's not the best, but It's free and they bring it to me. I'll take that first thing in the morning. Baked Alaska, Mikeb1892, SteveinSC and 1 other 3 1 Quote
Pooch Posted March 5, 2020 Report Posted March 5, 2020 I always tip for this service whether it’s the free continental or a full blown breakfast when we sail in a suite. Yes? No? Neesa, Ogilthorpe and Baked Alaska 3 Quote

Angieb Posted March 6, 2020 Report Posted March 6, 2020 Is coffee the only drink you can get with room service breakfast, or can you get tea or hot chocolate please Quote

Mrs. RoyalMoyal Posted March 7, 2020 Report Posted March 7, 2020 You can always ask for a different drink, once I forgot to order the night before, so I called, and they said "would you prefer a plain or a buttered croissant today"? I love 1st breakfast!! Ogilthorpe and Big Tule 2 Quote

AnnieBanannie Posted March 9, 2020 Report Posted March 9, 2020 For the complementary continental breakfast, if you have a drink the refreshment or deluxe drink package, can you request fresh squeezed OJ with room service? Would your deluxe drink package cover the mimosa or bloody mary? Quote

Ampurp85 Posted March 10, 2020 Report Posted March 10, 2020 @SteveinSC Cruises exist in a pocket universe where things are all Topsy turvy. I seem to recall you can't be drunk....just either delightfully or annoyingly tipsy. That 14th slice of red velvet will never go to your highs...you had so many pieces because it disappears. We all know only good things happens on a cruise . Also I love room service but a little tip is to ask for any juices without ice. We did Continental and regular breakfast on the Mariner and by the time it arrived, the Oj and Apple juice had 2 distinct lines of demarcation. To say it was disgusting would make it seem good. I always tip for room service, but I tip for a lot of stuff so WAAAYTOOO, PRebecca and SteveinSC 1 1 1 Quote

jaredhamburg Posted March 23, 2020 Report Posted March 23, 2020 I agree about it being so carby. My daughter is a Type 1 Diabetic, and the plain yogurt and some fruit sound like the best food for her......We will probably use it for coffee to start our day mostly and eat in the dining room for breakfast most days.....
