rpyne Posted February 24, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I just heard about this but they are still advertising 24 hr complimentary room service: https://cruisefever.net/carnival-adds-new-room-service-fee-eliminates-room-service-debarkation-day/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted February 24, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 24, 2018 old news and not a big deal. They no longer advertise 24 hour free room service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkIVette Posted February 24, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Have room service, just not free from 10 pm till 6 am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpyne Posted February 24, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Oh really, the announcement was just over a month ago, so for those who don't scour the news daily it isn't new. Before posting, I searched these forums and couldn't find any mention of it. Also, they are still advertising it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macklovin38 Posted February 24, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 24, 2018 They do still have 24 hour room service. It’s just that from 10p-6a, there is a fee for the food. That ad is correct. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awinner Posted February 24, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Also, they are still advertising it And that ad is 100% accurate, they do in fact have 24 hour room service included on the ship, but as you can see it does not state complimentary. It’s all in the verbiage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpyne Posted February 24, 2018 Author #8 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Don't see the word FREE. Do you? Throughout the rest of their site, the term INCLUDED means that it is included (free) in the cost of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaded Lady Posted February 24, 2018 #9 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Throughout the rest of their site, the term 'INCLUDED' means that it is included (free) in the cost of the cruise. I have to agree with RPyne on this one... if you go to the Dining area on the Carnival site, all the free restaurants show 'INCLUDED' if there's no charge, and '$ Additional' if there's a cost. I can't copy the page here, but if you look at other dining selections there, this is the standard it follows. So it seems that they need to update their page to show an * beside the 'Included' statement that says '$ during certain hours'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCLcruiser91 Posted February 24, 2018 #10 Share Posted February 24, 2018 It would be nice for Carnival to just disclose the actual room service terms - Free from 6am to 10pm... or *extra charge from 10pm to 6am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BlerkOne Posted February 25, 2018 #14 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Carnival could disclose in bold, flashing, neon lights, and some people still wouldn't read. I believe the free continental breakfast service begins at 5am? Decided to search on "room service" on Carnival.com and Voila! https://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2248/kw/room%20service Seems clear enough, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted February 25, 2018 #15 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Isn't it true that for some items (like chicken wings) there's always an extra charge? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comiso13 Posted February 25, 2018 #16 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Isn't it true that for some items (like chicken wings) there's always an extra charge? :confused: The link to the Room Service menu is perfect for answering questions about the new complimentary/$ menu. It does indicate the wings always are a small charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolita22 Posted February 25, 2018 #17 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I believe the free continental breakfast service begins at 5am? Yep, starts at 5 a.m. Just off the Glory this morning and that was the first option to check on the room service door hanger form! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comiso13 Posted February 25, 2018 #20 Share Posted February 25, 2018 As someone who usually vacations in Las Vegas, I see cruising as a very well priced mostly inclusive opportunity to relax and rejuvenate. I am not an experienced cruiser, this is my 3rd in 3 years, so I don't have a sense of cutbacks. Everything I see on this cruise and in these threads seems reasonable. There are so many opportunities to eat that a few dollars cost of late night room service seems minor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmichael1279 Posted February 25, 2018 #22 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I'm actually a fan of the late night fee for room service. Our food was delivered incredibly fast whenever we ordered and the hallways weren't littered with wasted food on trays... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comiso13 Posted February 25, 2018 #23 Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) Have to admit, I've never used room service, just too many timely alternatives to have done so. But always nice to know it is there, small fee or not, if I wake up hungry in the middle of the night and don't want to get dressed for pizza. I'm traveling solo, so plan on spending meal times among fellow cruisers, not in my room. Slightly off topic, but what do others feel about leaving trays in the walkways? Seems they could be a hazard. I've heard it is best to leave the tray in the room and it will be bussed for me.

cccer Posted February 25, 2018 #24 Share Posted February 25, 2018 So you can pay thousands of dollars for a cruise and you have a problem with paying for a room service charge for a late nite delivery which you probably don't need at all, and you have a problem? Pay the money and enjoy your food or just go to bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally dont think its a big deal but some might and the OP didnt say it was a big deal or not. just that they didnt know it and the website was misleading which it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
