UUNetBill Posted October 19, 2021 #2 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Those look about right but after almost a dozen Regent cruises I couldn't tell you exactly. Know why? I've never had a problem finding something to eat while on board. 😄 Seems like the biggest challenge is usually lunch if you're on a port-intensive itinerary. And we eat dinner early, usually, so no worries there. And there's always room service if you don't feel like going out. Plenty of options.

Wendy The Wanderer Posted October 19, 2021 #3 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) In my experience on the ships in general, the breakfast times for all those venues are staggered--they don't all open at 6 a.m. Compass Rose and La Veranda probably 7 or 7:30 depending on the port schedule, pool and Coffee Connection are the early ones.

RetiredandTravel Posted October 19, 2021 #4 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Sette Mari at La Veranda - "Italian" cuisine - part waiter service, part buffet Sette Mari is better described as full waiter service with a buffet available for some extra appetizers, salads & desserts. Its a very nice Italian venue for dinner. You can also order appetizers & dessert from the menu. There are no reservations, if your ship is full (or close) you'll need to get there when it opens to get a table. Its too late for us but I think there is a second seating around 8 when people leave. I've found the buffet (salad bar) at the pool grill lunch to be very disappointing. Burgers & hot dogs are excellent. If you have an excursion than runs past lunch there is always many things available at the coffee connection. They often serve soup & finger sandwiches when the excursion returns, nice touch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there breakfast options before 6 am? We usually eat earlier, as DH gets up to work out and I walk, then we are ready to eat. It has been our experience that we are usually ready before 6 am! (But we are about to be on a TA, so maybe our internal clocks will be off enough....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOARMY Posted October 20, 2021 #6 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Room Service is, technically, available 24/7. We have never ordered anything for after 10:00pm, or before 7:00am delivery to Suite. So--leave this to others with specific experience. GOARMY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get coffee and tea at the coffee connection before 6 am and they may have some pastries set out, but not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare wishIweretravelling Posted October 21, 2021 #8 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Light breakfast items are set up early at the pool grill area, but I forget how early. And I don't know if they are doing that in the covid environment, since they are not doing self-serve buffets right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladys Mom Posted October 21, 2021 #9 Share Posted October 21, 2021 When we have had early shore excursions we were able to have room service before six am. We use room service as our wake up call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even that doesn't really open until 6:30 I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellaggio Cruisers Posted October 24, 2021 #14 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Room service is 24/7.. we were disembarking in Amsterdam at about 5am to fly back to the US. We ordered room service breakfast for 4:30am. We ordered the evening before, making sure that the time was noted. No problem. Everyone is usually very accommodating. sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOARMY Posted October 25, 2021 #16 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Another example of Regent "service" outside the normal prescribed timelines: Disembarkation from Explorer at Venice back in mid-2017. Around 12 passengers had scheduled very-early flights from da Vinci Airport. Ours was at 0730H. Regent had a nice, complete buffet breakfast available at Coffee Connection for from 0415-0445H. Nice way to end our trip. No stress. Then, van ride to Airport. GOARMY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
