jbrinkm Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 Wondering where y'all eat breakfast the last morning (if you do)? Is it your usual breakfast spot on the ship, or somewhere else? I remember eating in the dining room that morning once (we had a later flight and were last off of the ship that time). Is that still an option? It was really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 It depends on how much time we have. 90% of the time we will eat breakfast but back when we were flying, sometimes we had to skeedaddle and get to the airport. Much nicer if you have time for that last, leisurely breakfast before the rude jolt back to reality.

Templecruiser Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 I’ve done it on every cruise. A nice full belly leaving the ship is nice. cdixon22, EmptyNestTravels and WAAAYTOOO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your flight is later in the afternoon, then certainly the MDR might be more relaxed. I drive, so it all depends how I feel that morning.

EmptyNestTravels Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 I ate breakfast in the MDR on disembarkation day for my Jan 2022 cruise on Independence. It seemed to be mostly families in the MDR. Wait staff didn't seem to be the caliber of folks that serve at evening meals. A bit disorganized, and multiple wait staff making rounds and asking folks repetitively if they wanted juice. Can't say they were inattentive to customers needs. I was a bit concerned about it possibly taking too long and not getting off the ship in time, but it was fine. Food was good, and the time from ordering until being served was acceptable. Even ordered a specialty coffee, and that was delivered to my table in only a few minutes. Maybe next time I will have to try the Windjammer for comparison. Is the Windjammer usually crazy and over-run with people in a frenzy at breakfast on disembarkation day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennaRCB Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 Yes, I usually go to the Windjammer to eat quickly and then disembark the ship! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda R Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 We usually go to the Solarium for breakfast on debarkation day. Not too crowded and very nice breakfast.

HeWhoWaits Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 I don't care how early we have to debark - breakfast is a must. If in a hurry, usually WJ or Solarium. If departing later, one last MDR breakfast. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPS Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 We liked getting breakfast at the Two70 Cafe on Odyssey on our last morning. (and most other mornings) Not crowded, good selections, and the staff were able to cater to my wife's need to eat gluten free. It also allowed us to use our beverage package one last time for a specialty coffee. teddy, SpeedNoodles, EmptyNestTravels and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooch Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 MDR is only open til 8 on disembark day so do we just have to show up by 8 or do we have to be done by 8. Cuz that’s pretty early if I gotta be out of there by 8! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the restart we’ve booked Balcony cabins instead of Interiors, so we hang out in the balcony and watch the port wake up. It’s a self-imposed thing though. We’ve never been made to feel like we were in the way or shouldn’t be out and about on disembarkation morning.

CruisingNewb Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 The title asks "do you eat breakfast on disembarkation day" but the OP question is "where." On all of my past cruises, we have always eaten breakfast on debarkation day. Why wouldn't you? As to the OP question, since this is our first RCCL cruise, I take it that it depends on when you plan to disembark? I was hope one last sit down meal at MDR but if it closes at 8, maybe Windjammers? Do each dining venue close at a different time on debarkation day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do each dining venue close at a different time on debarkation day? Yes, I was asking both. Someone could answer no and explain why, which I find interesting (i.e. always getting early flights, breakfast ends too early, food is not good on the last day, etc). Then the follow up - if you do eat breakfast - where? I learned some new breakfast spots from the answers. Is that what you were questioning here? Why my title and follow up message body had two different questions? The times for breakfast on the last day may vary from ship to ship. I'm not an experienced enough cruiser to know. What I see for the 2/27 sailing on Allure is: Main dining until 8:00am, Windjammer until 8:30am, Park Cafe until 8:30am, Cafe Promenade until 8:30am, Solarium & Johnny Rockets & Vitality Spa not open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
