bhughey Posted November 26, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 26, 2018 It's been a long while since I've attended the elite breakfast, and was curious if this is still offered, and if so, do they still serve mimosas, sparkling wine, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted November 26, 2018 #2 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Yes still offered. Sometimes plated, sometimes a buffet. Same drinks as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Silhouette this summer the food was plated. The picture is showing the Ultimate platter, which we decided was the best value, as I am Dairy Intolerant, so didn’t want the cheese platter. Previously on Eclipse in 2015 the food was buffet style, but I think they serve it that way if there are more Elites on board. I know they served Bloody Mary’s, but am not sure about mimosas.

Looks like someone took a bite or 2 off the plate before you received it. Yes, they have mimosas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Den Sorry Den, the OJ is squeezed by machine, bottled and sent to a ship, at least on Eclipse last fall and Equinox this Jan/Feb. I'll let you know if reflection is any different next week.

This may be subject to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisestitch Posted November 27, 2018 #13 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I haven't seen one of those juice machines in a long time. I was told that they were removed because there was too much possibility of contamination. AFAIK all the "fresh squeezed" juice is now simply "never frozen juice". At the Elite breakfast on Reflection in October they were serving both the a self-serve station of the same "juice drink" that comes out of the Oceanview dispensers, and also the "fresh squeezed", which you had to ask for specifically.

Rare Betsynh Posted November 28, 2018 #16 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Sailing the Edge in January — my first as Elite. I’m excited about the fancy coffees and smoothies, but wondering if there’s any food I can eat as I’m gluten-free (wheat allergy). Is the menu more bread/pastries or are there any eggs/fruit or perhaps a gluten-free bread product. Any input?? The beverage menus were awesome!

All Celebrity menus have symbols in the MDR, Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Sugar Free and Vegetarian as you should know if you have reached Elite. I am Dairy Intolerant, so mention this to servers in all other food outlets, so I am sure you will be accommodated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are breads and pastries, but I have never seen GF at the Elite breakfast. You can get GF breads at the Oceanview Cafe. There is a large selection of cut fruit, like melons, kiwis, and pineapple. Sometimes there is a bowl of whole fruits like apples, bananas, pears. No eggs. There are meats and cheeses, and salmon with traditional fixings (cream cheese, capers, onions) Edited November 28, 2018 by cruisestitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare chemmo Posted November 28, 2018 #20 Share Posted November 28, 2018 We found the Elite breakfast a light, pleasant and alternative breakfast venue on both Eclipse and Reflection. Really enjoyed, especially on sea days, sitting sipping my Bellinis watching the wonderful wake views! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Betsynh Posted November 28, 2018 #21 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Thanks so much! Most of my sailings have been on Royal, so this is my first Celebrity since I’ve been gluten free... I appreciate the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhfy Posted November 28, 2018 #22 Share Posted November 28, 2018 We go down to Elite breakfast, get a mimosa & a little fruit then go into dining room or Oceanview for a full breakfast. The Elite Coffee Break is pure continual, no hot entrees but we still enjoy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare APDMOM Posted December 16, 2018 #24 Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) Is there a dedicated Captain’s Club Lounge on Equinox? I do not see it on the deckplans.

Details will be listed on a printout which you will find in your stateroom on embarkation day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
