39august Posted July 21, 2023 #26 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Has anyone ordered a specific fruit plate? I would like to order with no melon. Melons are never ripe on cruise ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted July 21, 2023 #27 Share Posted July 21, 2023 You can ask for no melon, or just leave it uneaten on your plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broadwaybaby123 Posted July 21, 2023 #28 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Does anyone have a copy of the menu they can post? I'm soon-to-be Elite and would love to see what they have to offer. I'll be on the Summit in October and Solstice next Fall. During one of those cruises, I should be leveling up, I just don't remember which one.

I am not 100 % positive but from what I have read it's mostly a "Continental" style breakfast, coffee, rolls and pastries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestLakeGirl Posted July 21, 2023 #30 Share Posted July 21, 2023 (edited) When it is served plated there is a meat and cheese plate, a fruit plate, a pastry plate, a bagel & salmon & cream cheese plate. Also two or three smoothies, juices, coffee drinks, teas, mimosas, bloody mary’s and bellinis. No eggs or hot foods.

Rare cruisestitch Posted July 21, 2023 #32 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Occasionally, especially when there are very large numbers of elites and above on board, the breakfast will become a buffet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 4-2-N-8 Posted July 21, 2023 #34 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Just curious, since this a thread in its own right, is the elite breakfast a marked step up from breakfast in all other dining venues? Is this more a champagne type celebration and/or premium offerings well ahead of everything else on the ship (at least for breakfast)? TY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just an option for a quiet, continental style breakfast, without the morning crowds. Not a champaign brunch. The rolls, fruits, etc are the same as what is served in other breakfast locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisestitch Posted July 21, 2023 #37 Share Posted July 21, 2023 For those who don’t have a drink package, the bloody Mary’s and Bellini’s and sparkling wine are a nice breakfast treat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, the food is a little better quality. Sometimes they include brioche, which I love. The smoked salmon is sliced thinner than the other places but they twist it into a knot or rose. I have yet to unknot the salmon without using my fingers but it does taste good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TY Whilst the food is available elsewhere it is the ambiance of the breakfast that makes it a premium experience. Quiet, speedy and friendly service and an opportunity to chat to the Captains Club host if you have any questions or problems. We usually cruise in suites and frequently opt for the Elite breakfast over Luminae. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted July 22, 2023 #44 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Nicer than wandering around the buffet..but fewer choices of food. Quicker than the mdr. We enjoy the slower pace..plenty of seating and great coffee..early bellini ... But if you want a hot breakfast, omelet, etc, then this is not ideal. We actually like BLU ( AQ class) for breakfast but all depends on the day's schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Traveler Posted July 22, 2023 #45 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Notices say the Elite breakfast ends at 10 am. For those who have been there, do they just stop admitting people at 10 or do they take away all the food? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted July 22, 2023 #46 Share Posted July 22, 2023 At 10 AM the Captain's Club host departs. And if the event is served buffet style the buffet is dismantled. If served by waiters they disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
