Sea Day Brunch - I don't get the hype

1.  The sea day brunch menu has traditional "breakfast" foods on it and there is a MDR breakfast served with limited hours on port days.

2.  You have the option to be seated with others or not.  Sometimes we have chosen not, but they still would take us to a shared table.  We simply tell the host(ess) escorting us that we would like our own table.  No problem.

3.  I have never had a long wait, but perhaps we choose to go at times when they are less busy?  We've never waited more than 10 minutes after checking in on the HUB app to be seated.  Even if there was a wait, you can wait wherever you want, since you check in on the app.  As far as service times, they can be a little slow, but I've never experienced long delays.

4.  I believe that they cut off the check-in funcationality in the HUB app at 12:00.  There is no physical "in-line" any longer.

Thank you! I so appreciate you answering my questions. I'm generally far too curious and ask too many questions. I didn't realize Carnival had no more queues. That's cool, though I'd probably stand right there waiting to get in. 🙂

Many still do, so you wouldn't be alone.

Going on our first cruise in January since 2019. Loved the Broken Egg Sandwich on Port Day Breakfast. Does anyone know if they still offer that?

They did on our last cruise and it was great!!! Now, for that thing they call steak on the sea day brunch? Not sure what it was.

It's rare for me to want breakfast during traditional breakfast hours so I just like that I can have it at noon.  Now, if it takes 2 hours to have brunch in DEC on Miracle, I may rethink doing it on the 2nd sea day...lol

Did a sea day brunch last week on the Mardi Gras, 46 minutes to get our food.

We had the same problem last week, we were just about to walk out and they finally came taking our order. Thought all was fine but it took 30-45 for the omelets. Gave some song and dance that it's a process on why an omelet takes so long as we were ordering. That should have been our first clue things weren't improving.

We had some ridiculously slow brunch service pre covid. I'm talking over 30 minutes to take our order. We complained to the maitra d a few times. They apologized, assigned their "top server" to take over, and things stated moving Pronto.

 

We came back the next day,  maitra d remembered us,  and assigned us to the same "top server" and had great service - and heard other tables complaining amongst themselves about slow service. 

 

I guess, at times, squeaky wheel gets the grease.

 I don't get the hipe.  🤔. In the past, yes. Now, not so much.

There used to be a big emphasis on the Seaday Brunch with the Bloody Mary bar that was set up near the entrance and a more extensive menu.   Your "free" drink was always good at the brunch bar.

 

I haven't seen this in a long time.

Maybe 10 years.  Back when they had the mini sets with comedians.

But only every other day at the Carnival buffet.
