SororitySue Posted January 23, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Is it possible to arrange for coffee to be delivered to your room the night before? We're looking forward to having coffee on the verandah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMLAalum Posted January 23, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 23, 2023 You can order coffee for morning delivery the night before. From what I have gleaned on this forum there is no room service charge for this. Or do you want the coffee delivered the night before? Would be kinda cold..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted January 23, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I've heard mixed remarks lately. Maybe a current Non-Suite can confirm. In the past you had a door order hanger and could order breakfast for no surcharge. Recently they implemented a surcharge for anything except Continental (Generally identified as Coffee / Tea/ Juice / Sweet Rolls / Muffins. A full breakfast is now a 9.95 surcharge. I have read one message that said they no longer have the door hanger and you must call in your Room Service order. This may have been only when first implemented. But if they do have the door hangers you can put out the night before and designate deliver between 6:30-9:30 and it will be delivered to your room.

Just to clarify, there will be a surcharge for anything other a cont. breakfast. Even if you just want bacon only, there will be a surcharge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted January 23, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 23, 2023 To the OP, everyone is a bit different but I'd recommend just going to the buffet which has hot coffee 24/7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious if you have seen what is listed as Continental 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted January 24, 2023 #11 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I believe a continental breakfast also includes juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipswap Posted January 24, 2023 #13 Share Posted January 24, 2023 The room service charge will really affect me as I always order breakfast on excursions days. We have one cruise planned with Celebrity this summer but after that I might be looking to Holland America again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a $10 charge a few times a weeks gonna make you change to another line then maybe Celebrity wasn’t for you Most cruise lines now charge for room service delivery 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare chemmo Posted January 24, 2023 #15 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Room service is definitely something that effects some people more than others… One thing I think a lot of cruisers will be doing this year are comparative spreadsheets of cruise lines. Simply looking at a standard veranda price across several lines is no good. You do have to see what comes with each to get a ‘real’ price. Room service charge is simply one of those commodities to add into the equation along with the cost of drinks, specialty restaurants etc. Personally we have always preferred one of us to throw on shorts and T shirt and head to Cafe Al Bacio for quality coffees rather than order the standard coffees from room service. Even when we cruise in a suite where the butler will deliver specialty coffee we often simply collect ourselves… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Celebrity is becoming no better than Royal Caribbean since they seem to insist on changing their policies to match, only with higher prices. maybe Royal Caribbean is for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare countess5 Posted January 24, 2023 #17 Share Posted January 24, 2023 This was posted earlier this week from an individual on the Connie. The door hanger splits continental and premium breakfast. Cheers! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who has cruised for decades, the experience of being nickel and dimed is most annoying. We just booked our fourth River Cruise and I must say that having ( most) everything included is refreshing. Just state the cost of the vacation experience, let me pay it and then enjoy the holiday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
