PamJack Posted August 2, 2015 #127 Share Posted August 2, 2015 My husband likes to eat breakfast late, like around noon. Any hope of finding eggs and toast at that time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By noon, all the venues have transitioned to lunch. Edited August 2, 2015 by clarea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danv3 Posted August 2, 2015 #129 Share Posted August 2, 2015 What types of breakfast food do they have at the Park Cafe'? Breakfast burritos are where it's at! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted August 2, 2015 #130 Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) Breakfast burritos are where it's at! They are OK, but not nearly as good as the $1 from McDonald's. :D Edited August 2, 2015 by John&LaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleopetra Posted August 2, 2015 #133 Share Posted August 2, 2015 We vary where we have breakfast as mentioned by the others but look for the chocolate breakfast in the MDR. It is usually toward the end of a 7 day cruise. Chocolate pastries, pancakes, shakes, etc. Yum! Not healthy but definitely fun.

Yes, it's on the menu. Your MDR waiter would also normally mention it as he is giving you the schedule for breakfast the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeduz Posted August 2, 2015 #136 Share Posted August 2, 2015 The park cafe is wonderful but get there early cause it gets very busy But we also enjoy going to the dining room for b/fast. Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karena1 Posted August 2, 2015 #137 Share Posted August 2, 2015 We typically go to the windjammer every morning but thinking this B2B might try other options. We are Diamond Plus , So I know they sever some breakfast items in the Diamond Lounge. We also have a balcony this trip, so room service is also an option. What's your favorite? If you want to include you favorite breakfast food choices feel free. I love the muffins & fruit while on a cruise! We want to be off the ship as soon as it ports, so normally that is 9 AM. I always have my swimsuit/coverup on. Last thing I want to do (plus I really am not a breakfast person) is go sit in a dining room early in the morning. We run to WJ, hubby gets a fresh omelet or something and I get fruit and the occasional egg. Works for us, then we are off the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted August 2, 2015 #138 Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) Who remembers the good old days when you had assigned seating for breakfast and lunch, just like dinner? Early dinner, meant early breakfast as well:eek: Edited August 2, 2015 by John&LaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCI Cruisers 004 Posted August 2, 2015 #139 Share Posted August 2, 2015 They will normally have a letter in your stateroom with the perks. Thanks Bob. We will miss Portifino's , great breakfast and a very relaxing way to start the day ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debde Posted August 2, 2015 #140 Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) Love the WJ for breakfast. Especially love the ships that have chops/Portofino option to take your plates in there to eat if the option is available to you. Tried the MDR, not our cup of tea. Then gave it a whirl again with the chocolate breakfast and still did not like it at all. Even tried that cooked to order suite breakfast and still, did not really care for it. I am definitely going to give the Park cafe a try on Indy!! Edited August 2, 2015 by Debde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsPete Posted August 2, 2015 #143 Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) MOST mornings we go to the Windjammer: It's so much faster than waiting for a table, then waiting to be served in the MDR. Really, so much faster. We don't really enjoy being social with other people during breakfast, and it's easier to get a small table to yourself in the Windjammer. I don't know why people claim it's a problem to find things. Everything's located together; for example, if you go to the big steaming pot of oatmeal, you'll find the brown sugar and other toppings right there in the same area. If you choose pancakes, the syrup's right there next to the steamer tray. You'd have to try to miss them. Our biggest reason to go to the buffet is that our two favorite breakfast items are ONLY available in the Windjammer: 1) eggs cooked to order right in front of you -- eggs are really best if they're fresh, and the ones in the MDR aren't, and 2) Miso soup, which is something we really only ever get on a cruise. However, the MDR is vastly superior if you want to eat either a "bread breakfast" (French toast or pancakes) or Eggs Benedict. We probably go to the MDR twice during a typical cruise week, our intention being to get those specific things. Sometimes we go to the Chocolate Breakfast; really, it's not that special. What we never do is order room service for breakfast. Just not our thing to eat in the room. Edited August 2, 2015 by MrsPete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14Terry Posted August 2, 2015 #144 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I've been trying to keep up with posts on where suite guests can have breakfast on Freedom . We used to go to Portifino's , but from what I have read, it looks like we go to Chop's now instead ! I guess we will find out for sure when we board ! That's where we had breakfast and we thoroughly enjoyed it! Enjoy that cruise! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark-Sheffield Posted August 20, 2015 #148 Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) We always went in the MDR on P&O ships and found the cooked breakfast of good quality. My only gripe was cold toast. By the second week i was asking for hot toast and at first they said it wasn't possible due to the distance from the machine to the dining room. After much grumbling the waiters would fetch a plate full for our table that was covered with the plastic things they use at night. Result.

sjb317 Posted August 20, 2015 #149 Share Posted August 20, 2015 WJ is our favorite place for breakfast, love the fresh eggs & the muesli. Unless you go during peak times, the line for the Egg Harbour is usually not too bad, I don't think I've ever waited more than 5 min or so, if that. Sometimes on port days, we will order room service or my husband will make a run to the DL/CL & do his own room service. :D Neither one of us enjoys the MDR for breakfast, we will only go there on the last morning just to avoid the madness in the WJ. We've tried Park Café for breakfast on several ships,each time we thought the breakfast sandwiches were dry & tasted like they had been sitting around for quite awhile. Not impressed!:D Sherri:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare WrittenOnYourHeart Posted August 20, 2015 #150 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I would agree with the above. Me too. Even as a first-time RCCL cruiser I had zero problem finding the breakfast condiments located right with whatever they are geared to accompany (syrup was right there at the section with the pancakes/waffles/french toast; oatmeal toppings were right there with the oatmeal; etc.) Because of our schedule with our runs (we did have private breakfast at our briefings with eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes of some type, fruit, toast, bagels, and some pastries - but I didn't always want that), I went with the Windjammer every morning and never felt like I was missing anything. In fact, I like the buffet setting as I can time my meal the way I like it and not be on someone else's (read: the server's) schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
