celebrity concierge class breakfast menu

[2SeaWithMe]

I was told the menu on the TV was for the entire ship...it had eggs to order (scrambled, sunny, over light, and soft or hard boiled), as well as bacon, ham, hash browns, hot oatmeal...that's all I can remember.

 

One odd thing, the eggs are ordered in pairs of two, but not every menu says that. One morning I ordered two poached and two fried...you guessed it, we got four breakfasts. I'm sure the butler was thinking what glutenous Americans we were until he cleared our untouched extra plates.

I am confused. I thought that only CC and higher got full breakfast - meaning hot items like omelets, pancakes etc, the rest it was a continental breakfast selection??? But from a few of these responses, I am wondering if everyone can get more extensive breakfasts in their room. It is the main reason I pay for CC, so if I was wrong, I will save the money one the upgrade next time...

 

 

Full hot breakfast in any cabin - although only CC and up have a larger table on the veranda and only suites have a larger table in the cabin.

 

Here is a link to a menu from a 2C veranda cabin from a past cruise: http://simon-pics.smugmug.com/Cruises/Cruise-Ship-Rooms-and-Features/Menus-and-Information/4467773_J9pi2#838449448_AykqC

While it only has scrambled eggs and a plain omelette you'll have no issue writing in other types of eggs or omelette ingredients and other standard breakfast fare. The in-cabin room service instructions say you can order anything offered on the dining room menu during the hours the dining room is serving from it - just ask your room steward in advance for a copy. And as another benchmark you can easily order anything from the CC menu (see above or my photo site) except for the two categories marked "Concierge Class"

 

Now with all that said the more exotic you get the worse service can be during the busy room service breakfast hours on busy port mornings. The worse are mornings on Europe cruises like Rome or Florence when 90% of the people on board are getting off the ship around 7 or 7:30 and have less time for breakfast in the buffet. Also, in my experiance if unless you have a butler and want a nice hot breakfast you're better off in the buffet or dining room.

Photo of the menu is below. FWIW we wrote items that were absent (like watermelon) on the menu and we got them as well.

We are taking an excursion where we have to pack our own lunch. Is it possible to order lunch to go and get it early in the morning?

You can't really order anything 'to go' per se, you can order something from room service and bring your own zip lock bags and have a to go lunch. You will likely see a few people saying that isn't allowed, but I think they are confusing this with the policy of not bringing any food off the ship at the end of the cruise when you go through customs.

Actually it is related to the laws of the country you are entering. From the Cancun Airport website:

 

As a rule of thumb you are allowed to bring into Mexico whatever you need for the time period you will be staying in Mexico. You are not allowed to bring food, fruits and/or products that are not "company" packed and sealed. And if you are bringing food or products they are allowed only if you need them because of a special diet or for medical reasons.

 

When you're on the ship and presumably have cleared customs, are you bringing food into that country? Or is the food already in the country (remember you've cleared customs) so you can carry it around with you?

 

I really don't know the answer here but the above is the argument for not bringing food off the ship with you.

Ory, when you clear customs, you are no longer on the ship. It is the last thing you do after the cruise is over. You don't have to go through customs in each port.

The cc menu is looking good. Love having breakfast on the balcony without having to do hair and makeup. Not a morning person so this is a huge luxury to me. Yummy! Jan 8 is almost here...and I am ready to go. Merry Christmas everybody! Ours is white!

Not trying to derail the thread or get in an argument, but my understanding is that the ship clears customs at each port - you're entering a foreign country after all. Just because you don't have to stand in a long line doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I would expect there is a copy of the passenger list given to each country and that's enough for them.

Thank you for posting the CC breakfast menus. Does anyone have info on the differance between the Aqua class and the CC class meuns?

Taking food a shore is a big no no in some countries,due to the possiblty of contamination off the local crops,im sure the USA has strict import controls on fruit to stop various infections :):)

Just got off Century. Always loved Celebrity French toast so looking forward to the CC French toast sticks. First morning -- no OJ, and instead of French toast sticks 1 piece of the driest French Toast imaginable. Not to be deterred, ordered it again and circled "sticks." May have been given the same piece of French toast the next morning.

To add to the experience, I ordered iced coffee (never a problem in any cabin before) and was charged for an iced drink from Cova...

On the upside, the buffet has wonderful Scottish eggs benedict :).

The smoothies are to die for!

 

Can you get these anywhere else onboard for free (if cc ). Or just room service?

No, anywhere else on the ship you have to pay for them. I never saw them on the menu when I was in CC on my last cruise but had a drink package so I didn't think any of it!

Concierge class menu

Here's that expanded room service menu. The main difference is you can get fresh squeezed juices and smoothies at no additional cost, where if you go to the dining room or you are in a regular cabin, you have to pay.

We sailed the 12th and memory is a bit hazy - the aqua room service menu

did not have french toast w marmalade, asparagus scrambled eggs or poached eggs on it. We did get poached by writing it out. They also did not serve it on the balcony with a white tablecloth and a flower. No matter

we switched to the Blu breakfast which was marvelous.

Have never seen this before, and since it goes against all the warnings we have been given about taking food ashore, I'm curious -- what excursion at which port states that you are to take your own lunch, please?

[MisterBill99]

Are the smoothies available in CC on Solstice-class ships or do you need to upgrade to Aqua Class?

[chuckdaddy]

I have to tell you that my wife and I both were very unimpressed with the smoothies (and that's an understatement). We tried 2-3 different kinds while in a CC cabin on Eclipse a couple of weeks ago. We make fresh fruit smoothies at our house for breakfast almost every day, and my wife often gets them at places around town (Planet Smoothie, Smoothie King, etc.). I'm not slamming those people who say they like the ones on X, but in our experience, we didn't like any of them. They weren't cold. They tasted mushy and/or they had to be chewed.

 

I love X, and we are sailing it again at the end of the year. But, if your idea of a smoothie is similar to ours, you won't be happy with them. Hopefully you will have a better experience.
