KBRADFORD79 Posted December 28, 2015 #101 Share Posted December 28, 2015 The only good thing on RCI breakfast menu is the crispy bacon. Yum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagdivaaa Posted December 28, 2015 #102 Share Posted December 28, 2015 MDR breakfast on Disney were great. On RCL, WJ is the better of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaRob Posted December 28, 2015 #103 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Had good experience in American Icon for breakfasts on Quantum had some unique food to the 'Icon' like New Orleans beignets-not the greatest but it was nice to have something different. I concur on MDR in general for breakfast on a sea day if I have nothing but time a nice slow breakfast with lots of conversation is perfect in the MDR food comes and sits while you talk so its cold anyway when you finally eat it.

Rare BillOh Posted December 28, 2015 #104 Share Posted December 28, 2015 We do WJ if we want to minimize the time spent at breakfast. Recognizing the validity of this post, this maybe why I like the MDR on the final day. We usually have to be out the cabin with time to kill before our departure. Plus I noticed my post cruise depression would start in the final WJ breakfast. On many of the ships they only open a small area of the WJ while the other half is preparing for the next group of peop.e. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted December 28, 2015 #105 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Nothing like snide remarks from a buffet lover. I understand you. You don't care what any says and have a smart remark for them. Most likely the type that is overweight, cuts in line and is very rude. I gave my option of buffets and you have and you don't like my option so you come off as a smart ###. Your opinon of buffets is fine. Dismissing how anyone could possibly like one is not. But yeah, I'm the rude one.... and a fat line cutter too.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnjen Posted December 28, 2015 #106 Share Posted December 28, 2015 What you call blood sausage is known here as black pudding and is not the only 'sausage' available on Celebrity, they do 'American' sausage links and other English sausage too. The reason you know it as blood sausage is because that's exactly one of the ingredients, blood. That is not a proper pork sausage, nor are your sausage links proper sausage. Thanks for triggering a craving! Love black pudding and English sausage....FAR better than the American stuff here! I hope - but doubt we'll see that good stuff on our next cruise!

Rala Posted December 28, 2015 #107 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I like the MDR breakfast for being able to get poached eggs, but I don't like how long the whole process takes. OOH! Me,too. I loooove poached eggs, but they rarely give me the nice liquid-y, loose yolk that I love. Sometimes they are almost hard-boiled! I try to stress to the waiter that I want very, very, very softly poached eggs. Works sometimes, sometimes not. Definitely a first-world problem!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsPete Posted December 28, 2015 #108 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I have no idea why this is such a polarizing concept. Why are some of you pretending that one breakfast place is positively heavenly, while the other is horrible? Neither of those statements are true, and I disbelieve anyone who doesn't recognize pros and cons in both places. As for Eggs Benedict, the absolute best I've ever had comes out of my own kitchen (also the best Quiche Lorraine, the best Eggs Florentine, and the best ham and eggs). Does that mean I don't still enjoy eating out somewhere else? Of course not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ManyCruises Posted December 28, 2015 #109 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I don't understand people that think any buffet is good. Stand in line. Serve yourself. Find a dirty table to sit at. Get your own coffee. Lots of noise. Sorry, but I like to be served. You forgot to add GERMS on the serving spoons and utensils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charger2008 Posted December 28, 2015 #110 Share Posted December 28, 2015 On our last cruise we ordered room service every morning. Food was delivered on time, it was hot, it was good and we could get ready to hit the Flowrider early and not have to worry about getting the stink eye for being in board shorts and rash guards in the MDR or other venues :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare fletch1027 Posted December 28, 2015 #111 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I have had no issue getting a good breakfast in the Windjammer, especially on ships with an omelet station. And on Oasis and Allure I have found the solarium cafe to be a very good venue to choose. On Oasis and Allure, does Johnny Rockets still serve breakfast?

Langley Cruisers Posted December 28, 2015 #112 Share Posted December 28, 2015 You forgot to add GERMS on the serving spoons and utensils. Yes, but there are GERMS on everything on a cruise ship. So you eat in the dining room to minimize contact with germs, but do you know how many people have touched your cutlery before you use it? Also glasses, coffee cups, salt and pepper shakers... obviously, the list is long and distinguished. ;) At some point, we have to give up or we will all be driven crazy. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artemus Posted December 28, 2015 #115 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I discovered the dining room for breakfast on Carnival a few years ago and always eat there now. The menus are different on ports days vs sea days. Can someone please tell the approx schedule and times for breakfast in the dining room and if the menus are the same on port days vs sea days.

KiwiFunCruiser Posted December 28, 2015 #116 Share Posted December 28, 2015 In all our cruises.....so far (8) never took the time to eat breakfast in MDR. Because we heard it was painfully slow. Too much to do on board and so little time. Safe travels. Love it!!!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketMan275 Posted December 28, 2015 #117 Share Posted December 28, 2015 See, it is very simple. First, don't stand in line, if a food station is busy, go to a different one. Take only the food that you like, not other stuff that they stick on your plate in the MDR. Order fresh, cooked to order eggs and then go get anything you want to have with your eggs as they are being cooked. Walk up to egg station as your number is being called. Take hot eggs and go to a clean table, if you prefer a dirty table, take that one instead. Say good morning to the waiter that is working your table and they will get you coffee and juice. If the waiter isn't around, there is usually an officer that will also be cruising by who will offer to get you anything you need. Noise happens in both the MDR and the WJ, so I choose to ignore it and enjoy conversation with my DH or ignore him too if he is grumpy.:eek::p Really, very simple to understand. We prefer to be sitting with our hot meal, instead of waiting forever for eggs from a steamer tray in the MDR. We were in a CLS on Oasis last November and could have had breakfast in Coastal Kitchens every morning. After two mornings, we choose to have breakfast in the buffet. We never had to wait for a clean table. Our food was always hot. We got as much or as little as we wanted. Much larger selection. Didn't take an hour either. And, don't give me overcooked eggs from a steamer tray. If the yokes don't run, I will send them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare brillohead Posted December 29, 2015 #119 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I close down the club every night (every morning, actually... it's usually 3:00 a.m. by then). By the time I finish chatting with my fellow dancing peeps in Cafe Promenade, it's sometimes 4-5:00 by the time I finally get to bed. I never even see breakfast hours, MDR or Windjammer, so I have no complaints either way. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DebJ14 Posted December 30, 2015 #124 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I don't do buffets. Period. Ever. I will skip eating when we board rather than eat on the Lido. I have never had breakfast in the MDR on RCCL or Princess. We always book a full suite and have Breakfast in Chops on RCCL or Sabatini's on Princess or order room service breakfast off the MDR menu. Nothing beats having breakfast on the balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to be you in my next life!!!:D It's easy enough to do.... just go up there and get your butt on the dance floor! Party on!!! :cool: It's so funny, b/c people assume I'm some huge party-girl.... I didn't have a single alcoholic drink the entire 8-day cruise, and I never go to a club back home!
