Rare aubreyc1988 Posted December 4, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I saw a thread about breakfast room service and it brought to mind the question of what has been the best breakfast you had on a cruise ship. What ship was this meal on, what location, and where do you think is best to go for breakfast I've been on monarch of the seas and allure of the seas, and I've done mdr and windjammer...so far, I think the windjammer food is identical to mdr breakfast and the windjammer is much faster, but even then, I've never had a truly GOOD breakfast on rci.

Clarea Posted December 4, 2013 #2 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Speaking of Monarch, on the 4 day itinerary, they had a breakfast for top tier C&A members. Steak & eggs, quiche, etc. Very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dacsmom Posted December 4, 2013 #3 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Have you tried Johnny Rockets for breakfast. They do not advertise it much but it is no extra charge for breakfast and is very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebJ14 Posted December 4, 2013 #4 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Our favorite breakfast is on our suite balcony. DH orders Eggs Benedict and I get my normal scrambled eggs. We sit there with a pot of coffee watching the sea go by and being thankful that we are fortunate enough to be able to cruise often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyinhat Posted December 4, 2013 #5 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I am definitely not a fan of room service nor dining room breakfast. The only breakfast item I am fond of on a cruise ship is a fresh made to order omelette in windjammer. but not fond of the long waits someties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kookykismet Posted December 4, 2013 #8 Share Posted December 4, 2013 my favorite part is not having to make my own breakfast. Agree too! With 3 young kids and husband on board, this is going to be one of the highlights for me (including no washing up!) LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MommaBear55 Posted December 4, 2013 #10 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I am a yogurt, fresh fruit and granola person so love the granola buffet in the MDR. The only hot breakfast I thought was worth the time and calories are the made to order omelettes in the WJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepless Posted December 4, 2013 #11 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Have you tried Johnny Rockets for breakfast. They do not advertise it much but it is no extra charge for breakfast and is very good. Unless something has changed recently, it is my understanding that breakfast is only available at Johnny Rockets on the Oasis and the Allure. And, yes, there is no extra charge for breakfast at Johnny Rockets on these two ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanciRDH Posted December 4, 2013 #12 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I'll have to agree with rooms service on my balcony, but we only do that if we're in a suite so we can get the full meal. Our experience on both Oasis and Allure has been exceptional, the food arrived hot in less than 20 min, and the hash browns were declared best onboard by DH and the kids. I usually only order fruit and a bagle, but my bagle was still warm, unlike the MDR or WJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradsnana Posted December 4, 2013 #13 Share Posted December 4, 2013 We have done room service on every cruise and had no issues.....until Oasis Both times I ordered room service it took almost an hour and my pot of coffee was tepid. The food was room temp and not very appetizing. I'm sure it had to do with the size of the ship and the amount of people ordering. We are going on Serenade next week, so we will try again. Usually breakfast is all we order. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toddcan Posted December 4, 2013 #14 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I have to admit: Breakfast on a cruise is where I indulge the most. I normally have a greek yogurt with fruit at home, but on a cruise..... BACON! So, anything with bacon. Usually an omlette, or just scrambled eggs with lots of bacon, and toast or bagel, topped of with some baked sweets of some sort. I usually just have a very light lunch, maybe a salad, or just drinks, and then I have a decent dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulette3028 Posted December 4, 2013 #15 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Breakfast at home is simple, hot or cold cereal or English muffin with butter or creamed cheese....minimum effort. When we cruise, we have almost always done WJ and it has always been fine. We are generally early birds, so very little wait for seat or omelets. We have gotten into the habit of ordering room service for early morning coffee and fruit platter -- and it is always good. We put the order in the night before for a specific time, and it serves as our alarm clock (when they call that it is on its way), and a great way to start our day. This past weekend on Majesty, we decided to breakfast in MDR. It was very nice to sit and be served. The omelet was just as good as those I have had from WJ, perhaps bigger. The turkey sausage I tried as a change of pace -- but I will stick to regular sausage in the future (not the MDR's fault at all, just the taste -- to me); if I want sausage, I'll indulge. Hash browns were fine, small portion, but considering the size of the omelet, that was fine to me. All in all it was a nice change for us. When we are on Allure in June, we plan to have breakfast at Johnny Rockets, since everyone raves about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazeyey Posted December 4, 2013 #16 Share Posted December 4, 2013 On the Allure my favorite breakfast was at Johnny Rockets. It was by far the best breakfast on the ship, and the best part about it was that it was free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebooth Posted December 4, 2013 #17 Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) Bagel with cream cheese, lox, tomato and red onion in the WJ in my opinion is the best. I was on the enchantment in August and they had the lox out for everyone but when I went again in October they hid it under the counter and you had to request it. :) Edited December 4, 2013 by thebooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sailingawaysoon Posted December 4, 2013 #19 Share Posted December 4, 2013 We love the dining room for breakfast. We are early risers and it's typically not that busy when we get there. Our food has always arrived hot and made to order. I do love the added buffet in the dining room on most of the ships we've been on. You can always stock up on some extra bacon and hashbrowns here!

cb at sea Posted December 4, 2013 #20 Share Posted December 4, 2013 We, too, love the dining room for breakfast. It's casual, so shorts are fine...and you're served on tablecloths! Everything you need is on the table, so no searching for jellys/syrup/butter, etc.... So much nicer than a buffet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottifer Posted December 4, 2013 #22 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I love those triangle hash browns in the windjammer. I would say that it is probably my number 2 or 3 reason as to why I cruise, those amazing triangle hash browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't find the jelly/syrup/ butter in the WJ just ask and they will happily show you where it is and it doesn't move around...same place every day. You won't have to roam the WJ for days on end searching for jelly!!!:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
