MDR for breakfast/lunch

[TheSecondSister]

And don't forget the raisin buns :) My breakfast was usually grapefruit, raisin bun (or sometimes buns), and bacon. And coffee, or course. I'm not a big breakfast person, but I can vouch for the Scottish Eggs Benedict. A bit different, and very tasty!

so, if you order breakfast in the room, if you wait to get it until the main dining room is open, you can write in items????? even if they are not on the room service menu???

Correct - you can order what the MDR is having via room service while the MDR is open.

Breakfast in the MDR is one of the best parts of the day! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the chocolate croissants they serve, they are one of the things I looks most forward to with HAL (strange, I know :o). The eggs benedict are wonderful, and the corn flake crusted french toast they have sometimes is delicious as well. Hmm... I dont think I can wait this long to sail again.... :eek:

 

Lunch is always good too. They have some special items, or something as simple as a really good bacon cheeseburger (with brie cheese, or havartti etc). We enjoy the MDR for as many meals as possible.

On Princess and NCL we did not care for the buffet place...too busy...too loud...took forever to find a table so we discovered on NCL the wonders of the MDR for breakfast!

 

One reason I prefer Holland America to Princess is that their LIDO buffet breakfast has much better food - in my opinion. You may be surprised if you try it.

If you can wait until the main dining room opens -- usually 7:30 on port days and 8 on sea days, you can write in anything you want like Eggs Benedict. Waffles, Chocolate croisonts, etc.

 

the kids like Waffles, Pancakes, French Toast-- are none of these available via room service?

I don;t think we ordered breakfast room service last cruise- so can't recall

Sorry Krazy Kruisers- just saw the line at the bottom-- maybe we can order at 7;30 or 8a once MDR opens

I wrote a couple of items in (poached eggs, maple syrup, durian...), I consistently received everything but the durian:D!

 

You can always try it and see what happens!:)

Thanks Tracie ABD-- I think we will have 1st cruising day Bfast in the MDR or Pinnacle Grill (or is it King's room- I think it was Kings room for Amsterdam- but different upcoming cruise....) and see what is on the menu that the kids like & then try room service and see how that goes.
