Ultimate Balcony Breakfast

[New Cruiser Girl 2]

Hello all,

 

We just found out that our TA is treating us to an Ultimate Balcony Breaky .  Anyone had it before and what is it like?  Is champagne included ?  LOL

Thanks for the info ~

Very nice of  your TA.   It is a lot of food: fruit, pastries, salmon, quiche, bagels, coffee, OJ and champagne.   We never have eaten all of the food!  Enjoy..

and you can request substitutions ... may or may not get them, but certainly ask ...

 

and we enjoyed ours very much ...

It has become something of a regular thing with us.  We, generally, do it one morning each cruise.

 

CC has given you a quick rundown of the deliverables.  The Champagne is a half-bottle of the Nicolas Feuillatte.  It is a pretty good wine, although, we never drink it with the breakfast.  When the server asks if we would like him to open it, we decline and save it for some afternoon or evening taste,

We have this included also, do you choose which day it comes.

Enough food for 4 to 6.   😳

Yes you will get to decided what day you would like to have it delivered to your cabin.  It is done all at once so you will have lots of plates!!

This is a special treat when we cruise.  We did it once as we sailed through the Panama Canal...a terrific way to experience the canal!  Highly recommend it.

One good idea, we have it on a port day and manage to get it at 11.30am,   so it was Brunch.....

 

and really enjoyed it,   it is a lot of food,,  also our TA gives it to us

 

Enjoy it as a gift..... but I would order myself......

 

Cheers Don

Our daughter treated us to the Ultimate Balcony Dinner last year and we loved it.  

 

A few months later we took our granddaughters on the Regal for spring break.  They LOVED our balcony and almost every day wanted to enjoy lunch out there.  We recently booked spring break 2020, again on the Regal, BUT we booked two adjoining balconies for the extra bathroom and twice the balcony space.  

 

As a family treat, I'm thinking of doing the Ultimate Balcony Breakfast for one morning.  We would have two guests on each of our connecting balconies.  

 

For those who have done it, is it a waste of money to book this for us with 7 and 10 year old girls?  I'm certain we'd have to request some menu modifications, especially for our little one.  It's the same cost for kids; would they still give us the split of champagne for each table?  

 

How much do you tip?  (For the dinner we did $20 to the server and $10 to the assistant.)

Look this up on YouTube, I saw at least one couple who gave very good and thorough information on what to expect.
