momtoabowhead Posted January 12, 2012 #1 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Anyone know what is available? I like the idea of dinner in our room if we aren't up for 'going out' - do they offer anything delicious? What is an appropriate tip for room service? Does it vary based on the size of the order, time of day, etc...? I've never done room service, unsure of what is customary. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Continental breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and dinner. I really like their BLTs, roast beef & brie sandwich, and the teens love their tuna sandwiches. I also am partial to the chocolate cake thru room service. For tips, usually from $1 - $3, depends on how much is being ordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

navybaby1113 Posted January 12, 2012 #4 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Thanks for the response! I think we'll likely stick with the MDR. I highly recommend sticking to the MDR for dinner. The food is delicious and you won't get anything close to that on the room service menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The food is delicious and you won't get anything close to that on the room service menu. I have really enjoyed the food on the MDR in the past. I was just curious if room service was a comparable option. I now see it isn't. Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted January 12, 2012 #6 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Unless you have a dining table in your cabin, eating "in" isn't as much fun as you might think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momtoabowhead Posted January 13, 2012 Author #7 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Unless you have a dining table in your cabin, eating "in" isn't as much fun as you might think! We're hoping for a killer priced upsell from a balcony to suite. But even so - I loved eating on the balcony last cruise. It was usually lido food and for lunch, though. I love the MDR - we'll stick with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have ordered a late room-service lunch a few times. My husband's favorites were the BLT and the Roasted beef sandwich. My favorite was the hot pastrami on rye. I also tried the Fajita chicken wrap. It was good but way too much food for me. It was jumbo size, plenty enough to split. We have also ordered a plate of cookies. They are WARM chcolate chip cookies. About 6-7 on a plate. Soooo very good. http://www.zydecocruiser.net/menus/roomService.htm Also, here is the breakfast room service menu. You fill it out, indicate a delivery time and hang it on the outside of your cabin door before you go to bed. If you order coffee, make sure that you write in any sugar, Splenda, Equel or such otherwise you will end up with just black coffee. http://www.zydecocruiser.net/CarnivalSpirit/Alaska/Vancouver/pic2/DSC00252.JPG Enjoy, and have a great time on your cruise. .

lglancy Posted January 22, 2012 #11 Share Posted January 22, 2012 You'd be missing out on some great food if you skipped the MDR for dinner, but we found room service to be the best lunch on the ship. The turkey, ham & cheese, and BLT sandwiches were SO good. The bread was fresh and soft, and they came with chips that we were weirdly craving since they were nowhere else to be found onboard. Also, the chocolate cake is served with chocolate mousse, that could tie with Warm Chocolate Melting Cake for the best dessert onboard. We loved room service, and found it to be well worth the $2 tip. We would try to time it when a good movie was coming on the TV. What could be better!
