rloke Posted October 2, 2013 #26 Share Posted October 2, 2013 The website is not clear on the subject either Cabins B & below advertise Complementary Room service others do not maybe those in Concierge do not get any room service now :D Too many inconsistencies between the Res agents, website & brochures While no mention of hot breakfast, the Concierge class would have complimentary room service... :p From the stateroom description...

ddpe Posted October 2, 2013 #27 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Last week on Riviera, the concierge cabins had a breakfast card that you could select from and put outside your door the night before. It did contain some hot items like bacon, pancakes, etc. but we don't remember if it included items like omlettes. You could specify a 15 minute window. They called right before bringing the tray up.

Brian Because you are such a naughty lad, Brian, I just have to ask- Is "lukeward" a direction (such as seaward or windward) or a temperature? :o:D:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexandra cruiser Posted October 11, 2013 #34 Share Posted October 11, 2013 because I missed it(on Regatta) but I asked SPECICALLY about this when I booked an A2 concierge cabin on Riviera for next Dec.and was told YES,it it available.It IS a deal breaker for me, one of the perks I love,and am willing to pay for.But agree it SHOULD be inc.in premium line,perhaps it will be to ALL in future? Odd how so many different answers seem to come from TAs,cruisers,staff.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimandStan Posted October 11, 2013 #35 Share Posted October 11, 2013 But agree it SHOULD be inc.in premium line,perhaps it will be to ALL in future? Why "should" it be included? :confused: It seems to me that those who are booking what are (let's face it) the least expensive cabins on the ship are already getting a pretty amazing bang for their buck. They certainly sell out quickly enough :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azevedan Posted October 12, 2013 #39 Share Posted October 12, 2013 It amazes me that the people staying in upper cabins aren't satisfied unless they are getting something better in every possible parameter of a cruise. It really does make me wonder why. You get many perks, which I do not begrudge you. Bigger and better cabins, a butler, stuff you pay for. And you're welcome to them. So why, in heaven's name WHY, does it frost you so much that the steerage class simply wants a hot breakfast? They don't give steerage a different menu in the MDR. Oh, snap! Maybe I shouldn't have said that....next thing, it'll be uppity of us to want lobster. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was simply pointing out that the "Steerage Cabins" as YOU choose to call them, sell quite briskly already. Good times and bad, they are booked almost immediately and the passengers who reserve them hang on like grim death, the cancellation rate is VERY low. That being the case, it would seem foolhardy if not downright fiscally irresponsible to add additional amenities to those cabin categories, simply because other less desirable cruise lines have a universal room service policy. Next case ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexEm Posted October 12, 2013 #45 Share Posted October 12, 2013 We just received our Oceania documents for our Dec. 5 Panama Canal cruise, and are in an A3 cabin. It lists among the "Exclusive Special Privileges:" "Full room service breakfast." I'm not sure what that means, but it implies more than a continental breakfast. It's definitely not a deal breaker for us, not even worth calling our TA, but I guess we'll find out what it means when we get onboard. Jim and Stan--had to look that one up about "hoisted by your own petard"--I had heard it before but was curious about its exact meaning/origins. Just shows you can learn more than cruise info on CruiseCritic! Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
