eileen11 Posted April 12, 2004 #1 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Is it possible to order a full,hot breakfast to enjoy on your balcony or does Carnival only allow you to order a Continental type breakfast? We're booked on a 12 night Spirit from Hawaii and have an aft balcony and we're really looking forward to the breakfasts on the balcony. Any advise???

SheilaInAL Posted April 12, 2004 #2 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Hi Eileen, I have read numerous previous posts on this and other boards where cruisers have indeed ordered room service and enjoyed their breakfast out on the balcony. I leave later this morning to sail on the Miracle (I have a balcony room too), and enjoying breakfast sitting on the balcony is one of the things I plan to do! Enjoy your cruise!

RWolver672 Posted April 12, 2004 #3 Share Posted April 12, 2004 You will only get a continental breakfast through room service on Carnival. If you would like to eat breakfast on your balcony you can however go to the Lido Deck restaurants and fix a tray and take it back to your balcony. That's the only way you'll get a full breakfast out there.

thebird Posted April 12, 2004 #4 Share Posted April 12, 2004 I think I read on cruisingislife, in the fine print, that one of the only perks of a suite is full room service. Does anyone know if this is true? Lead, Follow, or Get the $&@* out of the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted April 12, 2004 #5 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Originally posted by SheilaInAL:Hi Eileen, I have read numerous previous posts on this and other boards where cruisers have indeed ordered room service and enjoyed their breakfast out on the balcony. ___________ I haven't seen any post such as you described. Unfortunately, Dick is correct. You can order lots of items from room service for b'fast, but a full, hot breakfast is not on the menu. The Lido Deck breakfast tray is one option; however, if you go to the dining room at your regular 'seating' time, your waiter will give you the breakfast you want - in a covered container - to keep it hot/warm to take back to your cabin.

imatarb Posted April 12, 2004 #6 Share Posted April 12, 2004 I think we'll go up to the Lido deck and bring back our own hot breakfast to enjoy on our balcony!

afdds Posted April 12, 2004 #7 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Stupid question of the day! What is everyone using for a table? We have the wrap around on the Victory and would love to eat breakfast out there. I don't mind going to the Lido to get a tray. However, I guess I have to do a balancing act on my lap! 5/23 Victory cruise D.

stlrboo Posted April 12, 2004 #8 Share Posted April 12, 2004 I'd bet there is a 2 X 2 plastic table out there, or do the balancing routine.! I think we'll eat on the Lido Deck and bring big cups of coffee back for the balcony!! Or have early bagels, biscuits and coffee before breakfast!!

eileen11 Posted April 13, 2004 Author #9 Share Posted April 13, 2004 When I was on a Celebrity cruise they also said that you could only get a continental breakfast, however, if you wrote in "hot items" on the menu slip, they would bring it. Do you think you can do the same on Carnival? Eileen 1967 Grace Lines Santa Rosa (don't laugh..I was a young teen!) 1968 GraceLines Santa Rosa 1970 The Victoria So. Car 1986 Seaward So.

stlrboo Posted April 13, 2004 #10 Share Posted April 13, 2004 since you said "do you think"... I'm really guessing the answer is NO! Room service is limited to a certain menu, and a hot breakfast is not one of the the items. Hot beverages, but that's about it. I've heard of some lines that do have this option, but Carnival is not one of them.

It also can be used as an extension to the lounge chair as an ottoman. I can't imagine trying to eat a full breakfast from it. It's more like a low side table. You can't sit under it like a real table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseMark Posted April 13, 2004 #13 Share Posted April 13, 2004 On Princess, they're charging $50 to do this for dinner, $25 for breakfast! This is a new "feature" of the Caribbean Princess.

serene56 Posted April 14, 2004 #14 Share Posted April 14, 2004 WOWSERS !! Thats 50 bucks per person. (its cheaper to eat in the specialty places) Also unique to Caribbean Princess are the ship's "balcony" dining events. At dinner, staff will transform your balcony into an intimate restaurant for two, complete with properly set table, flowers, champagne and a deluxe four-course meal (including optional lobster course) -- all you need, in short, to feel like Bogie and Bacall. At a cost of $50 per person, alas.

eerbeek Posted April 14, 2004 #16 Share Posted April 14, 2004 I thought balcony was for PRE-Breakfast (bagels, fruit, etc.) and the Lido deck was for REAL breakfast. All my meals on the ship have a pre-event! Lido Deck Linda Fantasy 2/6/2000 Victory 3/23/2003 Destiny 4/25/2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
