Elite breakfast

[39august]

Has anyone ordered a specific fruit plate? I would like to order with no melon. Melons are never ripe on cruise ships. 

[cruisestitch]

You can ask for no melon, or just leave it uneaten on your plate.

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.

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.

Just let them know which fruit you wish to decline. Absolutely no problem the staff are all wonderful and will take great care of you. Enjoy your cruise.

Occasionally, especially when there are very large numbers of elites and above on board, the breakfast will become a buffet

[Veinless]

Ooh I love the to-go basket he has!!

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)?

Absolutely not. 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.

Ok. TY.

For those who don’t have a drink package, the bloody Mary’s and Bellini’s and sparkling wine are a nice breakfast treat.

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.

We usually order the Ultimate platter and share it.

They will also make you toast if you ask

I also love the ultimate platter but I am like Joey “I don’t share food!”.

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.

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.

[Mountain Traveler]

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!

[Northern Aurora]

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.

We love the breakfast!  This photo was taken on Celebrity Edge in October 2021

I guess it’s true what they say. Looks good but looks can be deceiving. Doesn’t look like anything I would have on my plate for breakfast.
