Golden Gater Posted July 2, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 2, 2023 We like to eat breakfast in our cabin. What is on the room service menu for breakfast? We will be in a balcony cabin on the Sapphire Princess. Do they provide a card the night before to fill out with your order and placed on the doorknob outside your door?

Rare cr8tiv1 Posted July 2, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Yes, your room steward will. provide you with a card to order. Be very specific, including sugar, cream, number of fruit, jam, etc. Very basic menu: coffee, juices cereal fruit breakfast egg sandwich assorted pastries 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccqueenanne Posted July 2, 2023 #4 Share Posted July 2, 2023 If you order breakfast via this paper menu, and have the Plus package, will you be charged for the small bottled water? Is the way around this to order breakfast via the app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chamima Posted July 2, 2023 #6 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Last year you could order a Cappucino to your cabin via the Medallion if you had the Plus package. Is this still possible? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just gathering information for my companions so they don't get dinged with surprises. If ordering water via the paper menu will result in a charge, I want to let them know.

Is this still possible? Yes. If you have a drink package, the price zeros out when you check out in the app. You are however limited by the options in the app, which aren't all the options available at the coffee bars on the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SuzieQ521 Posted July 2, 2023 #9 Share Posted July 2, 2023 (edited) We were on the Royal in May and I never saw this paper order form for our balcony room--we would always order the breakfast sandwiches, specialty coffees, etc. off the Medallion App (I would allot at least an hour before you actually plan on eating it as it can take a while for service). The only time they gave us these paper order forms was for lunch on Glacier Bay Day (provided the night before). Not sure if you're supposed to ask your room steward for the breakfast form or if it is different on the Royal. If you order the small bottled water on the app with the Plus package, there's no charge...but there is a charge for the bigger waters.

If not, ask your steward (and ask for enough for as many days as you think you'll order, as they may overlook replacing it on the day you use it). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anjiedupree Posted July 2, 2023 #11 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I was on the Crown last month and ordered off the breakfast card many times. You can write in other food items as well, such as bacon, oatmeal with brown sugar, raisins, nuts, etc. You can also specify desired breakfast breads like almond or chocolate croissants. I enjoyed being able to select the delivery time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjkTX Posted July 3, 2023 #12 Share Posted July 3, 2023 On our two cruises last Fall and Christmas we had the cards in our room everyday - and unlike someone above mentioned, I had to make sure and be up and dressed because they showed up everyday at least 10 minutes before the time period I had specified. Not complaining - beats getting stuff 10 minutes before you have to leave the cabin. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never tried ordering anything notboffered on the card, but I have read others post that sometimes it works and sometimes not. Options are limited for efficiency. Imagine the chaos if everyone was ordering anything they wanted with no restrictions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pootsien2 Posted July 3, 2023 #14 Share Posted July 3, 2023 I wrote in "1 bottle water" on the tag that I hung on my door handle every night and was never charged,when I had the Plus package. I usually have my robe on the bed and a couple of dollars on the desk. Once,I didn't hear the knock and they called me on the phone and delivered it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amanda384 Posted July 3, 2023 #15 Share Posted July 3, 2023 I know this is a first world complaint, but I really wish they had an egg option other than the sandwiches. A quiche or a plate with bacon and eggs. I realize I have lots of other on board options. But it would be nice! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted July 3, 2023 #16 Share Posted July 3, 2023 If you do order from the paper hang tag be careful ordering bacon. I wanted 4 slices of bacon so I wrote 4 bacon on the tag. (Yes, you can write in other stuff.) I was delivered 4 orders of bacon. It was a lot of bacon! 🤪 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After many, many cruises with Princess and Celebrity we have learned that Princess shows up 10-15 minutes before the time you put on the card and Celebrity shows up 10-45 minutes AFTER. I now adjust what time I write down accordingly.. The person who said it took a long time for breakfast to show up didn't order in advance via the door hanger - they ordered from the Medallion in the morning. Medallion orders can take a while because those aren't set up in advance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medallion orders can take a while because those aren't set up in advance. The card time was always prompt. The couple of times I used the phone, it was delivered within 15-20 minutes. I know that there is at least one room service area on passenger decks. Anything “hot” (oatmeal, eggs, etc) needs to come from the MDR kitchen. I once tried to order oatmeal before an early excursion a very, very, very long time ago. Never got it (and I was in a suite). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobAnne Posted July 3, 2023 #24 Share Posted July 3, 2023 On my last cruise the gentleman who delivered my breakfast figured out pretty early on that he was my alarm clock and was always patient in knocking and coming early on port days. Needless to say, prior to disembarkation he received a generous tip for his awesomeness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
