Room Service?

[KingsDude]

Hey, I was just wondering how the room service is on the ship. I'm going on the Conquest and I was wondering if it was good or not? Also, how much did you tip them?

[jleq]

It's rather prompt. No cost other than the tip. Usually a dollar or so.

Cruised the Fantasy in April and room service was very efficient. Ordered breakfast (bagels, coffee and juice) and it was there in a matter of minutes. Also had the roast beef and brie sandwich which was great. Open 24 hours a day. As for tipping, a buck or two a visit works.

 

Helpful hint: If you order coffee, that is all you get (comes in a big carafe). Make sure to specify cream, sugar, sweetner if you need it otherwise you won't get it. Same goes for condiments for sandwiches and breakfast.

Yep, room service is great on Carnival. I call the minute I wake up, and the coffee's there within 5 min. (There's also a little door hanger you can put out at night, and your order will be delivered at whatever time you specify.) I prefer to call when I wake up. As suggested above, $1 or $2 tip.

I agree. The roast beef and brie on baguette is absolutely wonderful! As are the crudites and bleu cheese dip!

I just wish that Carnival would expand to hot items off of the regular menu. That is one thing that I am looking forward to on RCI in December.

I too have always had great luck with room service. We call in the morning for warm bagels, cream cheese and coffee for our pre-breakfast.

 

We'll go up on deck and get a made-to-order omelete later but for now that's a great start!

 

Later, we'll end the day with a movie in-cabin with the whole fam and some room service, usually to include a BLT and some cookies for sure.

Chris, you are right on (with the BLT and cookies ) ... just don't forget the milk!

 

I will usually get some extra cookies and milk before bed (to be kept on ice) for a GREAT wake up treat!

Does the drinks (soda, tea, lemonade, or milk) have a charge with room service. I am pregnant and I think milk before bed would be great!

[pholter]

Are there any circumstances where you might be able to get a real dinner from the dining room delivered to your cabin? Or "to go" if you'd just like to watch the sun set from your balcony dining on a nice meal??

[Cotton]

Tngirl ~ There is no charge for milk, tea, coffee, lemonade, juice from room service, but soft drinks are not complimentary anywhere on the ship. (Your cabin will have a half dozen bottles of Cokes, etc. available for a charge - like $2.50 each!) Hint: Take your own, and ask your room steward to remove the other ones when you first get into your cabin.) That's what I do.:)

 

Pholter ~ No delivery of 'real meals' to your cabin...sorry. However, you CAN go to the dining room (or Lido buffet) for takeouts, and enjoy them in your cabin.

floridaboyz...

Seems to me if your service was THAT great you'd have tipped "MORE"!!

 

and..

"I" would have complained about the sweeteners if I were you!LOL

[kapcruiser]

We are on the inspiration, do we also have some kind of refrigerator with soda in it? If so how big? Does it have a freezer area? I was thinking of having them remove the soda and put my own beverages in them.

[pholter]

I believe the suites are the only cabins with refrigerators in them..... Bring a cooler to be on the safe side if you haven't booked a suite.

Just back from Elation today! Room service in the am was wonderful, fill out your card the night before, stick it on your doorhandle and they wake you up with coffee, and whatever else you ordered. The other times we ordered room service, they were there very quickly. Even had it today, debarkation! Can't get going without my coffee. And even though I ordered black, they sent all the extra stuff with it.

Does anyone have a link to view the Room Service Menu?

[Cotton]

If nobody has a link, I'll type it out for you. I'll check back in a little while to see if you still need it.:)

[Tom-n-Cheryl]

Here you go... (room service menu)

 

(Thanks to CHRIS) for this one!

It took several days on my cruise before I found out that room service was free :rolleyes:

If you want butter, jelly, sweetner, etc., included, don't just select it -- chances are you'll get just one. It's best to specify the number you want.
