RoyalDiamond Posted November 11, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 11, 2014 We just completed the Quantum transatlantic. One thing we immediately noticed was the room service menu. The breakfast menu had PRICES on it. (the door tag that you hang). The only complimentary items were the "continental" items and pastries. If you want eggs, it'll cost you. Also, during lunch/dinner, the only comp items were basically "wraps." Burgers and other items that used to be comp are now available for about $5. Those prices are in effect all day, not just after midnight! Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peachy59 Posted November 11, 2014 #5 Share Posted November 11, 2014 That is very disappointing. I agree. I hope the passengers express their displeasure about this on the survey. Really don't want to see this become the norm for all the ships. They will push things as far as they can get away with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamFritz Posted November 11, 2014 #10 Share Posted November 11, 2014 So your stateroom is one less free dining venue. Do any other lines charge for room service? I assume no. It feels like Royal is daring me step out and try some of their competitors. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted November 11, 2014 #11 Share Posted November 11, 2014 SSHHH!!! Don't give them any ideas;) I think they already have had that idea. I remember a couple of cruises on Monarch where all they had on the morning room service menu was cold items. No eggs at all. I wondered if they were trying something out.

RCI is pushing the envelope to increase revenues any which way they can. It's taking feeling nickle 'n dimed to a new level:( People will decide with their vacation dollars how far they are willing to go to accept the changes.

Rare A&L_Ont Posted November 11, 2014 #14 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Breakfast is not as important as it was once thought. I have attached a link to a medical survey below. If I am paying for sunny side up eggs, they better not show up over hard or it is to back to the kitchen. http://www.forbes.com/sites/alicegwalton/2014/08/23/why-breakfast-may-not-be-the-most-important-meal-of-the-day/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We eat breakfast in our cabin almost every day on a seven day cruise. We enjoy sitting on the balcony and getting ready for the day at our own pace.

I know on celebrity, if you order a "fancy item" they do charge additional, but not for the typical breakfast. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakesnana Posted November 11, 2014 #22 Share Posted November 11, 2014 IMHO, this is a ridiculous change to the cruise industry and hopefully, will be changed once RCCL sees that it is VERY unpopular with their customers. That is my hope, however, if people don't voice their opinion, then it will become the norm and will spread throughout the industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the amount itself that I find objectionable, it's the principle of the matter. RCI is moving way beyond nickel and diming with some of these fees...it's more like $5 and $10ing!:eek: Constantly feeling like RCI has a hand out is getting old.

Rare LMaxwell Posted November 11, 2014 #24 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Charging a la cart for eggs and hamburger on a RS menu is disgraceful. Bad move RCI. The first time someone pays Royal can say it is working though :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
