Gonzo70 Posted December 3, 2013 #2 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) Definitely Blu; the Elite Lounge is great to grab a bite and a specialty coffee or nice BM, but if you want a full breakfast the options and quality are vastly superior in Blu.

Janet987 Posted December 3, 2013 #3 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Definitely Blu, some comments here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1951246 But nothing stopping you from having breakfast in Blu and then returning to Elite for a cappuccino. I'm an early riser and will often have a full breakfast in Blu when it opens, with few others there, then go with DH later to the elite lounge for a coffee drink.

Rare cruisestitch Posted December 3, 2013 #4 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Elite breakfast in Tuscan or whichever specialty restaurant is being used, Bloody Mary and espresso, pasties and fruit ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WALKER1313 Posted December 3, 2013 #5 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) LOL In the medical field there are better places to grab a nice BM then the Elite Lounge. Edited December 3, 2013 by WALKER1313 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lsimon Posted December 3, 2013 #8 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) The elite lounge has a small continental breakfast buffet. It generally has a few pastries, some mini bagels, fruit and yogurt. Sometimes there is toast or cereal and probably a few other items I'm not remembering. They do not have hot breakfast items. Blu would have a full selection of breakfast items, including hot breakfast items such as eggs and meats, and would have table service with waiters. The Elite Lounge is a nice option when we're planning on having lunch at port and just want something light. But if we want a larger breakfast or a hot breakfast we normally eat in the buffet or have room service. Not had breakfast in Blu but will try it next cruise as we're booking in AQ.

Happy Cruiser 6143 Posted December 3, 2013 #9 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Both. I agree. Start out with a full breakfast in Blu and then repair to the lounge for a specialty coffee and an almond or chocolate croissant for dessert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggertastic Posted December 3, 2013 #10 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I agree.

Brilliant and why not Unless you're not in Aqua of course - realised the issue with my statement immediately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtravel Posted December 3, 2013 #11 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I enjoy breakfast. Whether it be buffet, Blu, mDR or room service. I eat first. Then later go to the lounge for a geat cup of coffee. Nice place to relax and meet other cruisers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the Elite breakfast (MDR deck 4 starboard) on our TA on Infinity in October, there was also fresh berries and smoked salmon. I wish I had found it earlier, but my husband likes his cooked breakfast, but after 10 days, even he had had enough.

Patrick IL. Posted December 3, 2013 #13 Share Posted December 3, 2013 both, I start in tuscan, elite, then off to blu :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phxazzcruisers Posted December 3, 2013 #14 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) We always eat breakfast in Blu. It has everything we are looking for on the menu, and if we want a waffle or something not on the menu, we just politely ask and we receive.

megfla Posted December 3, 2013 #15 Share Posted December 3, 2013 We just got of the Summit this past week and enjoyed breakfast in Blu most of the days (when we got up early enough). Ask for Eggs Benedict, it's not on the menu but they will get it for you!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaBag Posted December 3, 2013 #16 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I'm with Jack and Happy cruiser. Go to both. DH likes the hot breakfast and I loved the table side Meusli in Blu, so we went there first and then next door to Tuscan for the Elite one. I thought it was much better than the Elite b'fast on Millennium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted December 3, 2013 #17 Share Posted December 3, 2013 My husband is an early riser so he is one of the folks who stops in to the Elite breakfast as I waking. Then we are off to Blu for one of their wonderful breakfasts. We have done four cruises in Aqua, and I always love the table-side museli. When I try to replicate it at home it just isn't as tasty. Must be something about that cart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wine-O Posted December 4, 2013 #19 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Blu ..... easy choice love that musilli Don't eat that Euell Gibbons stuff. :eek: Usually have breakfast in Blu then head to Tuscan for a bloody mary (S-Class ship). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first saw that comment regarding BM, I thought what the heck. How does this kind of subject always end up at the dinner table? I would hope I get a warm wash cloth from the valet when I am done. Edited December 4, 2013 by scbntraveler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far more likely to have the subject of a nice BM at the breakfast table than dinner table, do people drink Bloody Mary's at dinner? I prefer wine, bourbon or occasionally a craft beer with dinner.

Kwaj girl Posted December 4, 2013 #22 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Not at all impressed with BLUberry pancakes. YUCK. We prefer Elite breakfast with the smoked salmon, Brie and lots of fresh berries and a croissant. Champagne (FWIW) kept flowing, along with the decaf skinny cappuccinos. YMMV.

scbntraveler Posted December 4, 2013 #23 Share Posted December 4, 2013 My understanding is the Aqua class guest use the blu only. I was told on my last cruise that suite guest can use the blu as well. Is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave85 Posted December 4, 2013 #24 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I think it depends on what you're looking for in breakfast... continental, then the Elite spread is great for you. If you like a full service sit down breakfast then you're better off in Blu. We did Blu some mornings and other nights just the regular buffet upstairs (to get delicious eggs benedict :)).
