Saturngrl Posted August 26 #77 Share Posted August 26 DH and I enjoyed our first Elite breakfast in Tuscan Grille on Reflection last year. It was a nice change of pace from the hectic buffet and the chaotic MDR breakfast experiences. On this next Thanksgiving week cruise, I hope they will go to the buffet style for this breakfast, instead of ordering multiple plates with stuff we do and don't like.

It will all depend on how many other Elites, Elite Plus and Zeniths are your cruise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being an early riser I try to get to the breakfast as close to 8 as possible. By 9 am it can get crowded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do the same although don't want eggs Benedict every day I like to switch up with a French omelet with mushrooms once or twice in the cruise sometimes I just opt for toast and cereal. Try to eat as healthy as possible to avoid weight gain. So far been successful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you choose to and still hungry the MDR is open til 9 am. Are the breakfast cocktails complimentary? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toasted with a cream cheese shmear, lox, onion, tomato, capers..that's a NY Bagel. I think I'll try one of those not a huge fan of lox but willing to try anything within reason once. I usually just go with cream cheese if I can't get peanut butter, preferably crunchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The food is so good, there is a lot of it, and they feed you so often. @DaKahunabe careful the calories and sugar creep up quickly and more so as we age and become less active. I was one of the lucky ones as caught it in time. I know this thread is not about dieting but it doesn't hurt to warn people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it depends on who is at the door DH tried to take a glass of plain OJ so he could take it to the cabin to take his pills. The Captains Club Host stopped him and then made a very loud announcement to everyone “under no circumstances is any food or beverage to be removed from the venue”. He then pointed out a tray and told my DH to place his juice there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much like you eat any solid food. Just now, Edsny said: I will be 65 in January. I'll be 75 a month after you turn 65. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
