sail7seas Posted November 1, 2010 #1 Share Posted November 1, 2010 One of my favorite things on a cruise is a delicious Room Service Breakfast. We always used to have it until we got more disappointing breakfasts than good ones. DH started preferring Pinnacle and more often than not that is now his choice. I certainly enjoy that and happily accompany him but my first choice is still Room Service. On some of our more current cruises, we could never get what we ordered delivered on time, hot and everything included. They just couldn't get it right and spoiled brat I sound like was disappointed. Eurodam delivered three Room Service Breakfasts to us and all were PERFECT. Just what we ordered, everything we asked for cooked the way we requested and exactly on time. I sooooo enjoyed my decaf coffee and whatever it was I ordered lazily out of bed not having had to dress, do hair and makeup and could enjoy the treat. Eurodam Room Service is excellent. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironin Posted November 1, 2010 #2 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Eurodam Room Service is excellent. :) I agree! We had room service 9 out of 10 days during our cruise last month. Even though we usually wrote in things not on the card (oatmeal w/raisins & brown sugar, and fresh-squeezed OJ for example), breakfast arrived as ordered, everything at the proper temperature. (True, hot toast would have been nice ;) ) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisin crazy in Michigan Posted November 1, 2010 #3 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Just off the Ryndam and room service was one of the things I was going to do...never did get a chance. We've never ordered room service on any of our 6 cruises!!!! Guess I'll have to schedule a cruise just to try room service! P.S. Loved the Eurodam too!!

Himself Posted November 1, 2010 #4 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I agree with you totally. I did not use the room service but this is a wonderful ship with a very fine staff and crew and I was blessed to be on this fine ship two weeks ago. I would take this ship in a heartbeat. I might also add that this "R" class fan is looking forward to sailing the Nieuw AMSTerdam in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Flyer Posted November 1, 2010 #5 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I too have to agree with you Sail7. We have been aboard the Eurodam for 21 days, room service each morning and perfect-perfect-perfect. And six weeks from now I hope to find it the same way. They are the very best at what they do.

COLLEYBERRY Posted November 1, 2010 #6 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Oh Sail I couldn't agree more ...room service breakfast is a wonderous thing :) We did enjoy the Pinnacle for breakfast as well ..but just as you described.. to begin your day in such a relaxed way is ..well....quite civilized.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m steve Posted November 1, 2010 #7 Share Posted November 1, 2010 and then wait to see how close to our order the items delivered will be. Some days we get extra eggs or meats and then no milk for coffee or butter for the bread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted November 1, 2010 #8 Share Posted November 1, 2010 We haven't ordered room service in years. Food was always cold -- always late. One time we didn't even get our breakfast before we had to leave the ship shortly after 8 and breakfast was to have been delivered by 6:30 AM. We called -- the concierges called -- nothing. JMO -- we also do not like having to bend down low to eat from the tray placed on the low coffee table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising-along Posted November 1, 2010 #9 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I absolutely love room service breakfast! We've been fortunate, and have never had an order filled wrong. There was one time it looked like they gave us the whole pig for the bacon order :eek:, but hey, better to get too much than not at all! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crispy bacon(don't eat much in real life) and marmalade...such a happy combination ... this thread is making me "cruise homesick":D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can see here, many of us are very pleased with the Room Service, at least on Eurodam. As to bending over a low table ....... In the Caribbean, why have you not had the steward bring the tray to your veranda to enjoy on the full size table outside in the glorious Caribbean air? :confused: I don't see any reason you couldn't have him bring the table into the cabin for you, if you prefer.

fsdj1097 Posted November 1, 2010 #12 Share Posted November 1, 2010 You are so right about enjoying those room service breakfasts. While we enjoy the MDR for breakfast on sea days, when we have an early shore excursion, or on disembarkation day, we always order room service. We will be on the Westerdam for the first time in February on a Southern Caribbean cruise. We are looking forward to breakfast on the verandah.

ironin Posted November 1, 2010 #13 Share Posted November 1, 2010 KK: As you are a very experienced cruiser, I hesitate to mention this, but in the unlikely event you don't know, the table in the room easily lifts up. It doesn't reach true dining table height, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted November 1, 2010 Author #14 Share Posted November 1, 2010 That is not the case in all Deluxe Veranda Suites. On Maasdam, it's a glass table, for example, and it cannot be raised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babygirl722 Posted November 1, 2010 #15 Share Posted November 1, 2010 So great to hear, as I am a big fan of room service, and I will be sailing on her in February. A quick story about room service on the Veendam, when I sailed in August... I ordered coffee for 8:30AM delivery but was up earlier than I expected so I phoned room service and asked if I could get my coffee earlier. They accomodated my request and then phoned 30 mins later to ask if 1) I received my coffee in a timely fashion and 2) if it was hot enough? Gotta love HAL!

terpsicore Posted November 1, 2010 #16 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Has anyone tried the Cabañas or the Oasis package offered on Eurodam Eastern Caribbean ? We are leaving the Nov. 20th cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are leaving the Nov. 20th cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale. There are quite a number of threads devoted to this. Do a quick search. I booked one for our Feb sailing.
