lara68 Posted October 31, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) When we were on the reflection last spring, we were told that if you wanted a mimosa or bloody Mary at the elite breakfast, you would be charged. It used to be a free option at the breakfast. Is there now a charge or is it once again included free! Edited October 31, 2018 by lara68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare chemmo Posted October 31, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Bellinis and Mimosas were definitely available on Eclipse last month, I drank several! Great way to start the day... Sorry can’t comment on Bloody Marys as I never drink it, cold tomato soup, yuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted October 31, 2018 #3 Share Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) This was in Tuscan? I have never heard of this, and it is not the case now on Reflection. Edited October 31, 2018 by cruisestitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never heard of this, and it is not the case now on Reflection. Yes, we had several Tuscan breakfasts last cruise. We find the Luminae breakfast too heavy some days. Last year on Eclipse there was a cold buffet but this year it was plated options. They did one called, I think, ‘The ultimate platter’ which had a fruit selection, a mini salmon bagel, a couple of cold meat slices and a danish. A nice option!

Dukey1 Posted October 31, 2018 #5 Share Posted October 31, 2018 How can any breakfast be "too heavy?" Or are we talking about how much people eat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lara68 Posted October 31, 2018 Author #6 Share Posted October 31, 2018 When we were on the Reflection last spring, it was on a Transatlantic. I'm wondering if that is why it wasn't offered?? Too many elites, too many days? We'll be on the Eclipse TA in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted October 31, 2018 #7 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I was asking the OP....did this occur in Tuscan? Were you by any chance trying to take a Bellini out of the breakfast with you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is quite possible to go into Luminae and just order a fruit plate but once there and sat down we tend to find ourselves ordering a full breakfast....It just happens! Breakfast in Tuscan tends to be speedier too, not a criticism of Luminae, we enjoy a leisurely breakfast some days. On others, however, it is nice to just sit down and by the time you are sipping your Bellini your cold plate and coffee has arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, I wasn't trying to take a Bellini out but perhaps they thought we'd sit there too long, which we had in the past! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisiamc Posted October 31, 2018 #12 Share Posted October 31, 2018 We’re on Silhouette now, and go to the Captain’s Club breakfast in Tuscan Grill every morning. I happened to look at the menu this morning, and Mimosas, Bloody Marys, and Bellinis were definitely on there. There was note at the bottom stating that other drinks could be served, but would be charged for. I’ll take a photo tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the TA last spring they didn't have that menu on the tables. Are you on a TA right now? I'm wondering if that was the reason it wasn't available?

Rare ghstudio Posted November 1, 2018 #21 Share Posted November 1, 2018 We are currently on the reflection TA and mimosas, bloody Mary’s and Bellinis are available at no charge in Tuscan or its overflow area, Qsine/Lpc. The breakfast is buffet style and there are over 1500 elites on this cruise. The captains club host who said it was no longer a perk was just wrong.....

At the time we didn't question her further. Although it was a decadent treat to start the day, it was no big deal. When I recently read on the boards about mimosas, I got curious about the current policy with our upcoming TA. Hope you're having a wonderful crossing!
