ChildofPisces Posted May 6, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Hi all, Going out on the Crown in November, just wondering what options the room service has for breakfast. The last few times I was on carnival you could place it on your door the night before and get things like bagels, cereal, milk, fruit, etc. Just curious if Princess offers the same type of thing. Thanks in advance! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart will leave a new on on your bed each night at turn down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f-mattox Posted May 6, 2017 #3 Share Posted May 6, 2017 You will also have a room service menu that you can order from; but the card on the door is actually a lot more convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted May 6, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 6, 2017 There is a hang tag you can put on your door in the evening for room service breakfast in the morning. Many people add on things and most (but not all) seem to be accommodated. Please note that putting a "4" next so something like scrambled eggs or bacon does not get 4 of the item. It gets 4 orders of the item. Be careful. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyboy Posted May 6, 2017 #5 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Yes, meals other than breakfast that can be ordered for room service are on the menu in the cabin. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRS/NC Posted May 6, 2017 #6 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I frequently order breakfast from room service. I find that if I mark delivery time (for example) 8:00-8:30, the knock on the door is at 8:00 promptly -- so be ready! I also usually add an item or 2 to the printed list -- esp. bacon. I have learned to order 1/2 portion of bacon or I get a huge serving. Not having to dress & leave the cabin for my first coffee & roll is one of my favorite parts of cruising! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have room service my poor wife has to answer the door. We don't get it very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framer Posted May 6, 2017 #8 Share Posted May 6, 2017 The pot of coffee is decent. IMO better than the coffee in HC. We normally order scrambles eggs and bacon for 1 with 2 croissants and use the extra plate from the croissants to split the egg and bacon order in 1/2. Perfect for 2 normal old folks:) If weather is nice without much wind we will order lunch and eat it on the balcony. Salads have always been 1st rate, sandwiches made super fresh and the lasagna is their best kept secret. The hamburger and fries is better, again IMO, than the grill on Lido. You can now order with the Princess @ sea app. You do not have to tip but I do. My normal tip is $3 but I've heard many tip $2. framer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JimmyVWine Posted May 6, 2017 #9 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I don't know if it has just been bad luck or what, but my experiences have been that the quality of the items from the Breads and Pastries section fall far below the freshness of what is served at the IC. So even if we order other items from Room Service, I always make a run down to the IC to pick up croissants, donuts, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Cruise Raider Posted May 6, 2017 #13 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I frequently order breakfast from room service. I find that if I mark delivery time (for example) 8:00-8:30, the knock on the door is at 8:00 promptly -- so be ready!:) Princess is usually excellent on their timing when you order room service. A few times for the morning delivery, they have called on the phone before they bring your order so they know you are awake. I don't know if they are still doing this as we didn't order room service last time on Princess, but they had done so on prior cruises. I like it, too! Maybe it is just specific ones that do that ... but it's a good wake up call if nothing else. Also, they will ask you to sign the back of the slip but it is really more of a reminder to leave a tip as there will be a space on the slip to do so. I like this as well as you don't have to rummage around to find small bills for the tip ... it goes right onto your folio. There are just a few items that will incur a charge if you order them. It will be obviously stated on the room service menu when a charge will occur. Things like a shrimp cocktail plate, chocolate covered strawberries and as mentioned, a whole pizza, etc. Basics are without any additional charge, thhough.

cruzsnooze Posted May 7, 2017 #15 Share Posted May 7, 2017 One of the nice things about Princess is that the gratuity for room service is included in the daily auto tips so no need to feel you have to tip a second time. If you want something that is not printed on the room service card just write it in and if they have it you will get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaks pack4 Posted May 9, 2017 #16 Share Posted May 9, 2017 We usually order the room service breakfast when going ashore for the day. Yes, they are very prompt delivering at the time you request. :) I hand--write in 2, 3 or whatever chocolate chip cookies (learned this from Disney) and they will arrive with breakfast - we wrap them up in a napkin and enjoy as a snack when we return to the cabin after a day in the port. As someone said, the lasagne is delicious, and so is the Chili! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul929207 Posted September 15, 2018 #18 Share Posted September 15, 2018 The only thing with eggs on the menu is the bacon, eggs and cheese muffin. Other egg dishes are only for passengers in full suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby3334 Posted September 15, 2018 #19 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I don’t order until I get up whenever. It is almost unbelievable how fast it arrives...usually less than 10 minutes. I do it almost daily since I hate crowds or rushing anywhere in the morning. Last year I was on a 49 day cruise and with the exception of two days had breakfast from room service daily. They don’t require or expect a tip but I usually write a dollar or two. Mike Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby3334 Posted September 15, 2018 #20 Share Posted September 15, 2018 PS. I never order the night before since that binds you to their schedule. I just call and ten minutes later it arrives. No getting up to wait. I call from bed and often it is here by the time I get up and put a robe on...no kidding.

If time allows I'll go to the dining room, but my wife and I in the morning are usually harried...especially night owl me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoRoy218 Posted September 15, 2018 #22 Share Posted September 15, 2018 We too get breakfast room service most mornings on the ship, especially when headed off early for an excursion. We order double coffee, DH likes their sweet rolls, I get a yogurt or two, and some fresh fruit. That will last us until lunch wherever. Nothing like breakfast and coffee on the balcony.
