NCL increased room service fee?

[Lionkingrichard]

Did this change on the first?

 

Logged into my upcoming cruise and this was showing in the Explore and Plan options!

 

Room Service

Dine in after a day at the pool. Or treat yourself to a continental breakfast in bed. Choose from an extensive menu with complimentary and a la carte items fea ...

• Room Service Fee of $9.95 USD may apply.

YUP, it sure did! Wonder what else went up!

 

[ready2cruzagain]

No room service for me, I will keep my $10

[luv2kroooz]

Welcome to January and annual increases. Waiting for them to match or exceed Celebrity's recent DSC increase from $14.50 to $15.50 per person per day.

 

We haven't done room service for many years.

All the fees constantly go up so I cant keep track.  What was the room service fee before January?

[HEATH3913]

6.95, or was it 7.95

$7.95.

 

 I think $10 is really pushing it, but I never ordered at $7.95 either.

 

[IrieBajan54]

I don't eat in my cabin so NCL will have to get the $10 from somebody else.

do not forgot about the 20% gratuity on the room service order too

It says the fee may apply.  Do you think this is just during certain hours?  If I recall last time we were on NCL they charged the fee from like 8pm - 2am or something like that.  Really liked getting breakfast in the room for early port days. 

[Oakman58]

That is a ridiculous amount to charge for room service.  Charging for room service is just another reason my cruise on the Epic this month will probably (never say never) be my last with NCL.  Room service comes in handy on Alaskan and Panama Canal cruises.

usually the cold continental breakfast is free like muffins, danish, etc . if you want something hot like eggs, pancakes then you have to pay the fee

Why doesn’t NCL just do away from room service? That’s what they are attempting to do anyhow with those prices. Sure, there will be a few foolish souls that will pay that for some cold crappy food that will take forever to get to their room.

OMG, we were in the Haven last month (Bliss) and ordered 2 plates of chicken fingers with fries. Out came 2 hard chicken fingers on each plate with like a dozen potato chips. I asked for fries twice when ordering so didn't feel bad about having the night butler make it right, but we both said had we paid for the sad display, we'd have been TICKED.

Ridiculous fee for room service. Next up increase in DSC.

Not sure which cruise line you are going to run to. Most charge for room service.

The room service galley is always busy. Ten bucks is in the noise after the cruise fare. 

[PortFees45]

This is one fee increase I won't bemoan. 

 

You can't turn a corner without finding a place to eat on these ships, and you also need to tie on the feed bag in your room? Then pay up. Otherwise squeeze yourself into some sweatpants and waddle up to the buffet. 

 

There should also be a $500 fee for the disgusting pigs who leave their dirty trays and dishes in the hallway.

What do you do with your room service dishes? Call room service/ cabin steward ?

I don't order room service, but if I did, that's exactly what I would do. 

 

People who leave their refuse in the hallway are trash.

It literally says "charges may apply" on your link. Google has several sources all saying the same as my link. Did you go on a carnival cruise in 2019 having first hand knowledge that multiple sources are wrong?
