If not what time do they operate Thanks! It's 24 hours..breakfast 6a-11a then lunch/dinner from 11a-6a. Continental breakfast is free, anything hot works the same as ordering dinner from them does...it's a flat fee of 7.95 then you can add a gratuity. So if you order just a burger...or a burger fries and a salad ..it's gonna cost the same. Continental breakfast is free and no fee, we slipped them a few bucks each time . You can fill out a card the might before with the breakfast order and hang it on your door..it will show up when you want in the am.

barjpoe Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 But if I order the American Breakfast can I also add items from the Continental side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amanalo217 Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 Yes. You can mix items from both sides with the single 7.95 charge. Drinks other than juice, coffee, tea, and milk for continental breakfast cost extra. Beverage packages do not apply for room service orders.

Ampurp85 Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 It will be $7.95+ an 18% gratuity. They operate for 24 hours until disembarkation, that means after night 6 on a 7-night cruise they stop around 3/4am and don't do breakfast. You can order as much as you want and it still is roughly $9.50 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barjpoe Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 I thought that would be fine, cause there are no reg. beverages listed in the American breakfast side. Want to sit on my balcony and watch us go through the locks on our Panama sailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotPayinExtra Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 I could live off that menu and be happy. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmar02 Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 While room service is available 24 hours, not all the food may be available 24 hours. We called and tried to get American breakfast foods at 5 or 5:30am and were told that they could only bring us items from the Continental menu - the chefs were not on duty yet and we could not get bacon and eggs until 6:00am. That was Alaska this past summer (sailing at 60% capacity) so take that with a grain of salt. ChessE4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, according to the menu posted, breakfast is 6am- 11am, so that sounds about right Eamon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, could I get chicken tenders or a grilled cheese from the lunch/dinner room service menu at 2am, or would they say, "sorry, all we can bring you is toast"?

It was intended to lessen the crowds in the buffet so it would make sense to drop it once the restrictions lifted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrinkm Posted March 9, 2023 Report Share Posted March 9, 2023 We were on Allure in April last year and I was hopeful up until about a week before my cruise that we'd be able to get free full American breakfast, as had been reported up until that point. The week before, I started seeing reports that it was going away, and it was NOT included on that sailing (the fee had been reimplemented). So I think it was late March or early April 2022 when it began to be phased out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around March 2022 is when the ships ramped back up to full capacity, so it would make sense for the fee to come back into play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahaque Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 Can you order room service even if your not in your room? Like order it and then go to a show or the pool or wherever and they drop it off? Also how fast/slow is room service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gagurl Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 Don't leave in on the floor in the hallway. There are handicap ppl with wheelchairs and scooters that may not be able to get by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laimatix Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 Hey! Room service charges can vary. Typically, it's per order, and tips might not be included in the price. You can order a variety of items from the menu, including breakfast. Continental breakfast is often complimentary, but adding a tip is a nice gesture. Room service hours vary by hotel, but some offer 24/7 service. Carlos A. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
