Cafe Promenade - what are busiest, least busy morning times?

[scotlady]

Yay - 30 days till we leave for our Freedom cruise out of San Juan!!!

 

Just curious regarding Cafe Promenade - it seems like when we sailed on Liberty two Christmases ago, it was always jammed.  I would love to have a cappucino in the morning (have the beverage package), but how long are the lines around 7-8 am?  Does it get better later in the morning?

 

And I am assuming you can't get a specialty coffee brought to you by room service?  When I looked at the room service menu, I didn't see any options for that.

Maybe a large bribe to our cabin steward?  I really love my coffee 😁

Beverage packages do not include beverages from room service.

Last week was always quiet at 6 AM. Same 5-6 people there all week.

Hmmm,  up at 6 am kind of contradicts the whole "vacation" thing.  I love my coffee, but don't know if I love it that much!

Oh - that's right.  Well, It didn't look to me like there was any way to get it even if you were paying for it, anyways.

Last Sept  while on west coast cruise I could look down and see the  chairs  basically filled with early risers by 5:30 to 6:00 having coffee .  Pastry items are out by that time too.

Your cabin steward has absolutely nothing to do with room service anyway.

I love early morning on the ship and catching the sunrise. I hope the other 4000 aboard never figure out what an awesome time of the day it is.😉

I get up early to be at the gym and leave DH sleeping....I will see the same people who have the same start to their day at the gym each day.  But it isn't 6am.  Then DH and I meet for breakfast at agreed upon time and place.

Well,  sounds like it wouldn't be too long a wait if I get there by 7 a.m.  Truthfully, even on vacation, I am usually up by then.  The morning walk around the deck is one of my favorite cruise ship traditions.  It is nice seeing the ship without 4000 other guests roaming around.

I’m up early. Almost every morning. Love the top deck walking. Sunrise spectacular. Inner peace. 

It amazes me how peaceful. Fast forward a few hours and tons of people. 

I hope the few who enjoy this early morning ritual remains a few!

My sentiments exactly! Only 7 more weeks...
