coldflame Posted June 1, 2021 #1 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Perhaps, I've missed this in the plethora of announcements/changes/protocols in the last 3 months (if so, my apologies), but it would seem to me that, at least temporarily, expanding the room service menu and furthermore making it wholly free of charge would be a pretty decent incentive to a fair number of people to stay off the MDRs and other crowded food establishments. They could even make it "structured" so that the staff isn't "killed by a thousand cuts" every one different times. 3 deliveries per hour at :20, :40 and :00 from 6-9 pre-assigned upon boarding the ship. It wouldn't mean you *have to* order room service at all, but a predictable escape valve/crowd overflow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on one of the announcements for the ships starting to sail. I remember it saying free american room service breakfast and there was a thread back then.

Breakfast there are plenty of options including room service (which has always had free continental + coffee). My suggestion is for dinner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare dream2cruise Posted June 2, 2021 #14 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I would be thrilled to order off the main dining room menu and pick it up to go. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nancy2vues Posted June 2, 2021 #16 Share Posted June 2, 2021 This reminds me of the spinach/artichoke dip and chips that used to be available via room service. My kids loved it!!! Sorry if this is viewed as a hijack of the post (about maybe making room serivce complimentry during this restart), but you stirred up a memory:) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
