TOURMAN857 Posted January 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 25, 2023 We're going on the Summit in September. I have heard some slightly disturbing news from a video I saw on YouTube. And then I had it confirmed by my Celebrity PCC. Beginning in January (so it's policy now) ALL orders (except continental breakfast) made for Room Service will be subject to a $10.99 SERVICE CHARGE per order. This supposedly is FLEET WIDE. My wife and I don't order a lot of room service when we cruise, but it was a nice option to have. This SUXXXXXX....... It's not a deal breaker by any means but it makes me wonder how many OTHER ways they're going to dream up to "nickle-and -dime" us??? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisersTimesThree Posted January 25, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 25, 2023 It’s been a topic on these boards for a couple of weeks now. If you like lobster, get ready to pay $16.95 plus gratuity if you’d like a second one, unless you’re in a suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakepatrol Posted January 25, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Moral to the: story The guy that digs his heels in and refuses to pay the room service fee. Will soon realize that pizza at 2:37am was completely unnecessary 5 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted January 25, 2023 #6 Share Posted January 25, 2023 The fee is $9.95 plus 18% gratuity, so the cost is $11.75. I just debarked Monday. But here is the really sad part. You can no longer order anything from the main dining room. It is room service menu only. Four main items available (pasta, burger, hot dog, turkey cub). I posted the menus in my live from Constellation thread. I tried everything, there was no changing the new 'rule'. They are working off the room service menu only. Of course, I was in a verandah so perhaps the suite room service menus offer more choices. 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guindalf Posted January 25, 2023 #7 Share Posted January 25, 2023 it's $9.95 and it's old news. It's als a great example of the negativity seen on this forum of late! Yes, it's an extra fee and there are others, but Celebrity didn't go under like many cruise lines could have done! It ls doesn't apply to continental breakfast. Rather than focus on the negatives and/or fear mongering, how about being grateful there's still a product on offer at all? I'll be on the Solstice on Saturday and I plan to focus on the positive and have a great time! 15 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare hcat Posted January 25, 2023 #13 Share Posted January 25, 2023 When folks get cold eggs and dried out toast, plus mixed up orders, they may believe they paid way too much.. of course, a sep tip for deliv person would be out of the question.. Only neg is that more folks will carry plates of food and hot coffee onto elevators to spill on other guests and the floors..not fun! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFontaine Posted January 26, 2023 #19 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Another downside - someone not feeling well and deciding to self-isolate (and not report to medical) can either pay $12 to have a hot dog delivered, or just go to the dining room. 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true - my son was sick on our last cruise. (Yes - it was the dreaded Covid). He did self isolate and we had room service brought to him many times. I also brought food down from the buffet.....but if we were gone on an excursion, he got room service. What a shame for future guests who are feeling ill. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFontaine Posted January 26, 2023 #25 Share Posted January 26, 2023 If you report yourself to medical they'd waive it. But if you just decide to ride it out, would they? And the disabled person or elderly person who finds the buffet too difficult to navigate, or needs to take it slow? The solo traveler who gets up the courage to cruise, but not eat alone? So many people adversely impacted. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
