Breakfast in a dining room

[caribill]

On the current Emerald Princess voyage from L.A. to Hawaii (and back), I have been told that so far they do not serve breakfast in a dining room. Has anyone seen this happening on any other Princess ship?

 

Also, lunch in a dining room on sea days is in the deack 6 aft dining room.

On our recent Crown cruise both breakfast and lunch were served in the Botticelli dining room (deck 6 aft).

On another thread there is a post from someone who had purposely booked a mid-ship cabin so they would be close to the mid-ship dining room for meals and was not happy about  the switch to the aft dining room for breakfast and lunch.

What difference does it make what dining room it’s in? It must take at least an extra 2 minutes to get there

I have never seen what the OP is saying.  So far as I can remember the breakfast and seaday lunches have been in the midship deck 6 MDR.  They do like to have breakfast on the day of disembarkation in the deck 6 aft MDR.  I do like eating most breakfast in the MDR so I would not be terribly happy with no MDR for breakfast.

We were on the Royal Princess in October and breakfast was served in the MDR each morning

So no DR breakfasts at all? This is new and certainly will not be popular. Any comments from the staff as to why? We are on the Emerald in February.

We were onboard Emerald for 33 nights recently, disembarked on November 25. 

There was definitely breakfast served in the aft dining room every single day. 

 

What does the Patter say for daily breakfast options?

 

Have you asked Guest Services why the dining room breakfast isn't being offered? That would be a major, major shift in just 2 weeks..

You've been told by whom? 

[RedmondCruiser]

Was on the Emerald for a 15 day Hawaii cruise and ate every morning in the Botticelli Dinning Room for breakfast.

Well stated reedprincess.  Always check the patter, and if that doesn't have the info you are looking for, check with the purser's desk.  Especially in the beginning.  That way you can get an issue corrected.  Hope you enjoy your trip!

 

Counting down the days.

Just talked to my mother who got back from the LA to Hawaii cruise a couple of weeks ago, dining room breakfast was available everyday.

 

For the OP, where did you get the information?

[onboard2005]

We enjoy breakfast in the MDR.  Sure hope this is a miscommunication for the OP!

Some people have mobility issues.  Kindness goes a long way.

It surprised me when the moved breakfast (every day) and lunch (sea days) from one of the mid-ship dining rooms to the aft dining room on our recent cruise on the Royal. It's not as convenient, especially for people who can't manage the stairs.

Isn't there an elevator that also goes to that deck?

There is an elevator. Why is that unkind?

Mid ship to aft is a long walk if you have mobility issues. I had a knee replacement 2 months ago. My range is a half mile before I feel a lot of pain. I am in an aft cabin and on a wait list for mid ship.

Just a guess, but I also saw a post "elsewhere" from someone who had numerous unlikely complaints, including that the dining room wasn't open for breakfast and lunch.  They appeared to post, then sit back to watch the show .

A person on the current cruise. I was sent a photo of the meal part of the Patter for a day and noticed that no dining room option was listed for breakfast. I asked was this an omission from the Patter that day and the response was that there is no breakfast in any dining room so far. I can only assume the person telling me that is accurate.

It was because I was told that there is no dining room breakfast on the current cruise that I asked if anyone else has seen this on any Princess ship. So far the replies indicate that so far it is only the Emerald and this may have just started. When I am on the Emerald soon I will definitely ask why if it is still not being offered.

 

As to what options are listed for breakfast:

  Horizon Court Buffet

  Cafe Caribe

 

[Seadog & Sea Hag]

Yeah, I still don’t believe it

Ok ... but again, why is that unkind ?

 

 

Traveling with any kind of issues is a personal choice , and requires knowledge of personal limitations before the journey begins.

If there is no MDR breakfast offered when we are on the Emerald Princess late in 2019 we will not be happy chappies.
