Lumanie Breakfast

[Momma Rene]

We love breakfast! However, when looking at the Lumanie breakfast, it looked like less options as compared to Blu or the MDR.

 

Can you go into Blu for breakfast when you are "assigned" Lumanie?

[CHEZMARYLOU]

Yes, you can go to Blu for any meal if you are in a suite. We didn't find the Luminae menu to be limiting and you can request items like yogurt and berries.

[Karynanne]

If you don't see something on the Luminae menu, just ask for it. They'll easily accommodate you.

For those who enjoy huevos rancheros, we've found them to be excellent in Luminae.

I also thought the breakfast menu in Luminae is pretty comprehensive. What is it that you feel that you are missing? They also have assorted pastries that they will come around and offer from a large basket.

I felt like there were more options for breakfast in Luminae than Blu. As someone else mentioned if you don't see what you want, or want something modified must ask & they will do their best to get it.

I feel that there's something for everyone on each menu. Mix it up a little and visit them both. Then come back and let us know what you think.

Is too. The only issue we had was the size of the pastries. If I ate one I couldn't eat much else but they were lovely.

I had seen on the MDR menu and I think Blu that they offered ham. Also looking for herring. I guess I will just ask! Perhaps I am comparing old menus.

Luminae is a space sectioned off from the MDR. If you want something from the MDR menu just ask, it should be very simple for them to bring it to you. Blu is in a different part of the ship, at least on S class, so that would be a little trickier although you can still ask.

We thought there was a great selection on the Luminae breakfast menu.

I'm sure if you wanted something else they'd make it.

We were told that we could have filet mignon another night if we asked in advance...

so sure you could have steak with eggs in morning.

Breakfast in Luminae is one of the highlights. The last morning of the trip having a full relaxed breakfast in Luminae is the best! Enjoy.

Ditto.

You can get pancakes, waffles, delicious pastries, omelets or eggs any way you want, bacon, sausage, yogurt and granola and berries, cereal, grits, hash browns ----- in Luminae.

Just ask if you don't see it on the menu. We love breakfast there.

We also love it in Blu but it seems like there is more selection in Luminae. At least that was our experience.

Anybody know if they're restored the muesli cart to Blu? I don't believe that's offered in Luminae. That would be worth a detour to Blu if it's back.

Except for all those who complained that the muesli cart slowed down service for everyone in Blu ;)

I really can't see how it slowed down service for everyone. They either assemble your order in the kitchen or in front of you.

I do remember the complaints. Apparently it tied up the wait staff who couldn't then pay attention to other tables.

The only thing we found a little lacking in Luminae was the fruit plates which had large chunks of melon and a few berries. The next day I asked for a fruit plate with less melon and more berries and got the same fruit plate with a tiny dish with a few extra berries in it!

 

We did find the portion sizes large in Luminae and after leaving far too full the first few days of the cruise we varied Luminae with pastries and coffee in the room, Elite salmon bagels and even trips to the buffet (best place for my fruit selection).

I just asked them for berries and got those every day with no problems. The fruit plate is far too big for me.

[twins_to_alaska]

I asked for mixed berries several days to mix into my plain yogurt.

 

[chemmo]

You certainly got a bigger dish of berries than I did! I will ask again on our next cruise. Perhaps there were fewer on our cruise because of the location/itinerary (South Pacific)...They certainly had lots of melon!

We have experienced 2 very different standards of Luminae breakfast. The first on Silhouette was SLOW, very little fruit offered, no decent tea and everything for the cooked breakfast delivered in separate small dishes. Recently on Solstice it was excellent. Lovely fruit with variety, good cooked options and Twinings tea. Couldn't have been happier. Still slightly slow service but when the breakfast is so good we didn't mind waiting.

[BunnyLebowski]

Has anyone ever tried to order from the breakfast menu at lunchtime? Or successfully had any items from Luminae delivered to your suite?

[ClaudiaB]

I just ask for a bowl of berries. That and some yogurt and a small bowl of granola -- all in separate bowls --- and I mix it myself. When I want mixed fruit I ask for the specific fruits I want. With the language barrier they don't really "get" when you ask for something like "heavy on the berries." You know what I mean? You also have to ask them NOT to put on the asparagus and potato and mushroom garnish in Blu and other places. I would always leave it and hate for it to go to waste. That's too much food and seems more dinner-y to me.

 

I also get berries at pretty much any venue I want. You just have to ask. And be specific. They have standard plates (pictures in the galley show that) but you can, in the smaller venues like Blu and Luminae and the specialties, have it how you want. Hey, they ought to use a similar slogan for a burger joint....

 

I find a good serving size of lettuces and of green veggies very lacking ship-wide. They're used more as a garnish. Like two small florets of broccoli. Seriously? So I ask. Voila! One of my favorite "my way" lunches in Luminae was a full plate of mixed greens with grilled chicken on top with some garnishes I specifically asked for: feta, blueberries, nuts and vinaigrette. He even said it should be on the menu!! Well duh. I've also asked for and received a little bowl of steamed broccoli or spinach or green beans to share for the table at dinner.
