Breakfast with Santa

[KAKcruiser]

I got an email today advertising a Breakfast with Santa.  However, the sample menu turned up an error message.  Does anyone know anything about this?

No, sounds like a scam to me,

If you’re referring to breakfast with Santa aboard ship, it’s real and appears as an event you can book online under “dining” at $29.50 per person (it doesn’t indicate if Mariner discounts apply).

 

It also does t specify whether it is Buffett, buffet, or table service. 

 

it DOES specify a cocoa cart. I’d expect there to be pretty much standard breakfast fare. There are opportunities for pictures.

 

And, yes, I misspelled “Buffett.” It was. VERY intentional. Jimmy Buffett’s  birthday was/is December 25th.

 

Lyric excerpt from”Christmas in the Caribbean”

“Sun-tanned children sleeping
Hoping Santa will come through
Christmas morning boy they're leaping
Oh, it's Bubba's Birthday
Mr Buffett's birthday too! 

Christmas in the Caribbean
Snowbirds fill the air
Christmas in the Caribbean
Lots of presents everywhere
We don't live in a hurry
Send away for mistletoe
Christmas in the Caribbean
We got everything but snow.”

It is listed under "dining" but when you click on the sample menu link, you get an error message.  I was wondering what the menu looked like.

I have to warn you... It is a Santa impersonator. You can't get the real Santa for $29.50 per person.

The same thing happened with the 2024 Easter Brunch on the Rotterdam. The link never worked prior to sailing. The poor PG manager was trying to fill up the venue, and most everyone boarded on Good Friday, leaving him with 2 days to sell.

 

I will warn you about Santa. He spends the whole night pounding glasses of milk and chomping on cookies. He just sits there at bteakfast, looking bloated and breaking wind. (It's pleasantly scented, like sugar cookies, but it's quite loud.)

I also got an error message on the menu link.

 

I thought it would be a fun xmas day thing to do but not for 30 bucks.

 

 

I would hope that there is a special MDR breakfast on xmas day.  I thought I saw menus somewhere online, but perhaps that was a paid event.

I emailed Ship Services asking what the menu would be and where it would be held. They said that on the Rotterdam it would be held in Tamarind. It was only available on one morning at 8:30a for our cruise. And they sent me what the sample menu would be -- hopefully I've attached it. Still new to posting.

Thanks Cville!  I was able to download the menu but it's honestly nothing special.

 

The only reason to book this breakfast if you have little ones or really want to see Santa.

 

I saw much better xmas day brunch menus, which I'm hoping are free 🙂

Thanks for the menu.  This really is nothing special.  I guess you are paying to see Santa Claus.
