How early is breakfast?

[jennyumaa]

We will sail on the Explorer in the Mediterranean this summer and it's very port intensive. We'd like to get off the ship as early as possible, but would like to have breakfast first. If the ship docks at 7am, what's the best way to have breakfast taken care of? When will Windjammer open? And how early can we order room service? Thanks!

On our Explorer cruise last month room service was available 24 hours and Windjammer opened at 6:30am on port days.

Cafe Promenade on deck 5 opened at 6am for light, snack type food like bake goods and sandwiches.

Great. Thank you! I have not thought of Cafe Promenade. Windjammer is on the opposite side of our cabin so it will be quite a run. 😄

We had room service breakfast every morning on Explorer in October 2019.

It was $7.95 for as much as you can eat hot breakfast.

We were on Independence same menu and times May2019(this menu)where it was $9.40

That looks great! Thank you!

Can we order the night before? If not and I call at 6am for hot breakfast, how soon will they be delivered?

Yes.

Ask your cabin steward for a few order forms which you fill in and hang it on your outside cabin door handle before you go to sleep.

It asks you what time you want delivery.It is in half hour sections eg 6.00-6.30am and for us they turn up 5 minutes before the earliest time on the list.

I usually give the waiter $2 cash tip and we get a phone call 5 minutes before delivery so we are ready for them but some people say they don't get a phone call before delivery.
