Rare John&LaLa Posted April 3, 2017 #1253 Share Posted April 3, 2017 So, it seems roll out has some kinks. Always does, no surprises there. Do you have the schedule for rollout that was posted earlier. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted April 3, 2017 #1254 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I think Anthem has an a la carte menu. It may be possible to order individual items for under 7.95, but once you add more items the flat fee is actually better. I agree, if you are ordering pay items it will be cheaper at a flat rate if $7.95... But, there are still free items w the old menu so I still have option to order food and pay nothing. The kids menu has a few decent choices along w the "free" wraps, soup, salad. Plus, there are still complimentary beverages and desserts (read milk and warm chocolate chip cookies). I have enough to order "free" to keep me happy so I'm personally glad anthem delayed their scheduled April 2nd roll out.

the mistral wind Posted April 3, 2017 #1256 Share Posted April 3, 2017 We sailed the Allure of the Seas last October. It is now Sally's favorite ship. But the morning room service is such a traditional part of our cruise experience, I think we are done with Royal. Burt Really do they have a menu for room service that doesn't charge a fee. I thought i read that. Thats too bad that this has wrecked your whole vacation plans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted April 4, 2017 #1257 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Really do they have a menu for room service that doesn't charge a fee. I thought i read that. Until this change, room service was free (with a few exceptions - like Anthem) other than middle of the night.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucymorgan Posted April 4, 2017 #1259 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Lucky !! Enjoy free delivery while you can - I have to admit, really bummed about new $7.95 charge every time I want to order room service - especially considering I am disabled and some days I just can't do much, so planned on having room service on my balcony if a "bad" day happens while on cruise... now I have to budget for it grrrr I can understand why you would feel that way. On the bright side, if you have a bad day, it seems you will be able to order from a better selection. Hope you don't have many of those days though.

Beachdude Posted April 4, 2017 #1267 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Must be hard on Sally to give up her favorite ship so you can have cold eggs on Carnival. [emoji33] LOL, that hurt. :D Chapter 3 in the great book "A Husbands Guide to Surviving Marriage" says: To remain a love partner, the wise husband never says, "Honey, life isn't fair". :cool: For the record, my love learned of the new charge and suggested the change. She had already flipped a coin several times between Royal and another new ship. On a side: While your post suggest wisdom, we haven't sailed Carnival in 10 years, so I can't compare the eggs. But based on our recent sailing, Royal doesn't have anything to brag about. Burt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzieanna Posted April 4, 2017 #1270 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I choose if I want to cruise, I choose if its Royal, I choose the room, I choose if I'll buy a beverage package, I choose if I buy specialty dining and now I'll choose if I want to pay for room service. Hi drew. Hope you don't mind me stealing your line. I chose all these things - and at the time of choosing - and the time of paying - "free" room service was on the cards. So, what I have "chosen" - is not what I am getting. I keep saying I am not interested in $8 (or multiples of $8).... we are none of us short of money because if we were, we would likely not be having such vacations. I am however VERY INTERESTED in principles, contracts and fairness. - guess that's just the socialist in me! To add a different viewpoint, my other half is happy that the room service has a charge - because it will HAVE to be edible now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachdude Posted April 4, 2017 #1272 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Of course regular free coffee is available to pick up at Cafe Promenade Is that the same coffee as the room service coffee, because it sure doesn't taste the same. A question on the $7.95 per service call, don't you folks tip? It's at least $9.95 hit for me. Burt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLvacation Posted April 4, 2017 #1274 Share Posted April 4, 2017 ~ So a page or so back the late nite wing issue came about! Well here's one to think about . Granted it only works for Diamond and above individuals ! ~ :cool: If your craving wings at 2AM { We usually have our attendant empty the fridge ! ~ So there's no charge issue's as well as little room for our cold waters , or left overs from chops . / You could just as easy have as many plates of wings as you want at cocktail hours ! drop a few off at your room and stick them in the fridge . problem solved ~ lol Still the extra $ for what's already been paid in full before boarding is even allowed !

Biker19 Posted April 4, 2017 #1275 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I thought I read someplace (can't find it now) that the $7.95 included gratuity. The way I read the FAQ, the whole $7.95 is a service charge - nothing for the food itself. Now, how much of that actually goes to the person who delivered will be debated for eons. Maybe this charge is in lieu of raising the daily grats and the $7.95 goes into the grats pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
