I know what you mean. We have only done Sky class but if the ship has a Coastal Kitchen, my wife insist that we dine there so we've only done Sky suite since then on Oasis and Quantum class ships.
I love those but I only do 1/2 of the bagel .. a full bagel is normally too much for me.
About the only time I eat a full normal size bagel is when I have a bagel at home. Then I'll toast it, and spread crunchy peanut butter on each half. A nice glass of skim milk and all is right with the world.
You can only get the discount pre-cruise by calling Royal and doing it over the phone.
When I did it shipboard, instead of purchasing for the six remaining days, I only had to purchase 5 days and the 6th one was free.
On our last cruise a fellow passenger, Bob, introduced me to what he and the wait staff had dubbed "the Bob sandwich" - one fried egg, hard, five slices of bacon, and a toasted/buttered English muffin. Makes a wonderful breakfast sandwich.
This is the way it has always been. The credit is only applied to the room that you, the stockholder, is sailing in regardless of how many rooms you booked and are paying for.
Surprised many said eggs benedict. I really like eggs benedict but what I have had on cruise ships has been disappointing, even in Coastal Kitchen. The English muffin has been tough and often not toasted and the Canadian bacon is very thin. I have often ordered a two additional pieces of Canadian bacon but it still leaves me wanting.
Can you answer a question for me? In comparing Millennium with Eclipse, it seems the rooms are smaller on the Milli for the same category room, e.g. Aqua vs Aqua, Sky Suite vs Sky Suite, etc. Was that your experience as well?
Very true - all the more reason to point this out to the concierge and have him put a stop to it. I cannot think of a circumstance where I would have remained silent about this.
