orangecat51 Posted October 4, 2015 #1 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Hi, I have read that you can have a breakfast served in your room....are other mealtimes available too? So for example, if we return to our cabin, a bit burnt and worn out, can we have something to eat in our cabin rather than having to get ready and go to one of the restaurants? We are travelling at the end of the year on a Caribbean cruise. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted October 5, 2015 #2 Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) You can only get continental breakfast - no other meals are available to the cabin unless someone is ill. You can get pizza (can't remember the price) and snacks such as soup and sandwiches from room service for a charge. Last time I looked, it was €3 a plate or 2 for €5. If you're in a Bella cabin, there will also be a charge for service. Here's a list from an earlier cruise, it may have changed slightly since: Soup of the day Italian antipasto platter Mozzarella caprese Mediterranean salad Chicken caesar salad Sandwiches: Smoked salmon Tuna salad Speck ham Ham and Cheese Egg salad Grilled vegetable Cheese plate Fresh fruit plate Sweet temptations Fresh fruit basket (5 pieces) €4.90 Edited October 5, 2015 by Beamafar Grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Beamafar Posted October 5, 2015 #4 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Many thanks for that info. What's a Bella cabin?:confused: MSC sell the cabins in categories referred to as "Experiences": Bella, Fantastica, Aurea and Yacht Club. Check out Skier52's "sticky" thread at the top of the main page: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2224649 Here's a link to the MSC website's official explanation: http://www.msccruises.ie/ie_en/New-Experience-Categories.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangecat51 Posted October 5, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Ahhh, ok, thank you. I'll have a look;) I've just had a look. I can't see anything on the information I have. The cabin is a B2....does that mean anything? We booked with Virgin on a cruise and stay and I can't see anything that says anything like the classes that the link leads too.Puzzling:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MazzyKn Posted October 5, 2015 #7 Share Posted October 5, 2015 B2 will be a Fantastica cabin (B1 Bella, B2 Fantastica, B3 Aurea) which means you can have continental breakfast free of charge in your cabin and you will not pay a delivery charge for any other room service.

That sounds lovely. Thank you for clearing that up. I didn't even know such a thing existed. Will they mention this when we embark so we know what we will get?

Rare Beamafar Posted October 6, 2015 #9 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Will they mention this when we embark so we know what we will get? Check the deck plans for your cabin number - this will tell you which "experience" you've booked. They're colour-coded according to category. http://www.msccruises.ie/ie_en/Images/Divina_deckplan_CORP_tcm65-103476.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisC433 Posted October 28, 2015 #12 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I've never had to pay for room service, just gratuities. MSC is beginning to disappoint me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmoMondo Posted October 29, 2015 #13 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I've never had to pay for room service, just gratuities. MSC is beginning to disappoint me! As long as you didn't book a Bella cabin, you won't have to pay for room service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC433 Posted November 1, 2015 #14 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I read that in the Fantasia category you don't have to pay the fee for delivery but you still have to pay for the food. I've sailed with various cruise lines and have never paid for food delivered. We just tipped the person who delivered it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At other times, yes there is a charge for food items in some regions. I believe they don't charge on US sailings, but perhaps they have changed this. Tipping is not required for room service or anything else. It is a European line. No crew member will ever refuse one though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
