BrerRabbit Posted June 13, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 13, 2018 We've got a couple of early mornings planned on our Baltics cruise and probably won't have time to go for breakfast as everywhere seems to open at 7am. We don't have a fridge in our room and the Snack Shack closes at 6pm so we won't be back on the ship the day before in time to grab a sandwich to put in our cooler bag overnight. What do people do for early breakfasts? I don't want to do a full morning's touring on an empty stomach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the early morning trips you are going on are organised by Marella the buffet usually opens earlier than usual to accommodate passengers setting off for coaches. Or you could make some rolls up/get some fruit at the buffet the night before and store them in your cooler bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our earliest one is with Alla though and is a 7.30am meet up. (we must be mad :D) It wouldn't have occurred to me to make up rolls from the evening buffet. The crew don't mind? It'd be a perfect solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pensioncruiser Posted June 13, 2018 #4 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Not 100% certain but think you can order room service 24 hrs but it's obviously at a cost. Sent from my VF-895N using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska man Posted June 13, 2018 #5 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I have not been on the discovery yet but all the other marella ships I have been able to go outside the buffet and get something to eat about 6.30 they don't mind if they are setting breakfast up ,and I get a full pint glass of orange as I don't drink tea or coffee ,ask the day before you might be lucky, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLine Posted June 14, 2018 #6 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Did the Baltic cruise on the Discovery this year and in StPetersburg the breakfast times were slightly earlier than normal on both days –Islands buffet was from 0600, grab n go was from 0700 and waiter service from0730. On the first day only lunch and evening meal started early as well, this isto fit in with all the excursions with the first ship excursion leaving at 0730(both days).

Sent from my VF-895N using Forums mobile app I'm sure the room service doesn't start until 7am. I think I've read that somewhere. That would have been our first choice otherwise. Thanks though.

davecttr Posted June 24, 2018 #9 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Continental breakfast available in Islands buffet from 6.30 am . It may look as if the buffet is closed but it is not for cereals, bread rolls, cheese, meats etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juno1162 Posted July 5, 2018 #10 Share Posted July 5, 2018 The reason we keep coming back to Thomson/Tui/Marella is for reasons like this! I’m a very early riser and am often wandering around with coffee by 5 am. On every cruise I’ve been on some staff member has come forward and asked me if I’d like them to see if the croissants, etc., are ready yet. I think the buffet will open early for this, but the staff are so helpful I’d just ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
