In Toronto Posted March 1, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 1, 2023 In Concierge on B2B Solstice cruises in April. Second time in Concierge. This time noticed one of the benefits is "Enhanced Room Service Breakfast Menu". What is special about menu? We seldom eat breakfast in the room but do not remember being offered anything special last time. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted March 2, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) I believe the "Enhanced Room Service Menu" was done away with in Early January. Currently except for Suites there is a $9.95 Service fee per room for Premium Breakfast items. Complimentary Continental Breakfast items are still included in your room rate.

In Toronto Posted March 2, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Thanks. They really need to take it off their website - Ha Ha. Anything else that was changed re benefits such as embarkation lunch (I hope not!), Poor quality wine, Tote Bag. I notice it says veranda with lounge seating. Do not remember that from last concierge class on Celebrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingDaddy Posted March 2, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Wow! I never realized this change for concierge class. It was one perk we used every day. Less reasons to continue booking concierge class. I guess I’ll have to wait and see how bad it is on my upcoming cruise on March 19. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In Toronto Posted March 2, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted March 2, 2023 CruisingDaddy: Please report back after your cruise. We booked concierge because it was only $20.00 per person more than veranda so worth it. But, would not pay much extra for sure. Hope to hear from you in end of March. Ours is mid April.

Rare xxpinksaltxx Posted March 2, 2023 #6 Share Posted March 2, 2023 We booked a concierge as we moved up from a verandah cabin for only $50 more. We sail in 7 days, I will keep you informed. I was actually curious as well, because it looks as though the breakfast menu was slightly expanded for everyone, now that there is a $9.95 charge. I'd actually love some foot rests on the balcony, if they were looking to add in some perks 🤣, not worth the extra for aqua class (for us). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not remember that from last concierge class on Celebrity. They did remove that item from the stateroom class description page https://www.celebritycruises.com/things-to-do-onboard/staterooms/concierge-class-stateroom But it does appear that they still have it listed when you go to compare stateroom types when making an actual booking. It's a shame they don't have the right person doing these updates to their webpage to mitigate confusion it causes having conflicting info. The same thing happened with the classic beverage package when there was a belief that it changed to include all non-alcoholic beverages. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In Toronto Posted March 2, 2023 Author #8 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Yes, there should not be confusion. My question about enhanced room service breakfast menu is not that important in comparison to what the classic beverage package includes. We do not have the inclusive plan this time hence the question re the wine which even if low quality, it is a nice bonus for us. Any other concierge cruisers on my trip can pass on their wine to us if they do not want it. LOL. Thanks for your reply. Yes, xxpinksaltxx, please do get back and let us know. I would be interested in Embarkation Lunch, Pillow Selection, Binoculars and Umbrella. Even if you are not interested in those perks yourself, would you mind just asking if they are available to Concierge Class? Enjoy your cruise. BTW: love your CC name. Tell us the story behind it please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhioPerson Posted March 2, 2023 #10 Share Posted March 2, 2023 The frustrating part of this change is it happened after final payment. This was one of the reasons we went with Concierge class and it's gone now. You would think they would know who booked when and phase these changes out to new bookings or bookings that aren't paid in full. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Norwaylady Posted March 2, 2023 #11 Share Posted March 2, 2023 We are very upset and not happy about this. We book concierge because the breakfast meny for delivery is wider. This change affects all future bookings that was made a long time before this change. We really enjoy having breakfast on our balcony😔 There is no reason to book concierge. We are always later than embarkation lunch onboard. So the BIG number one reason was breakfast menu. Hopefully they will change their mind to the better….🧐 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duanerice1 Posted March 3, 2023 #14 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Agree... we made final payment before they changed room service. We have it every day for breakfast so for us it was an important benefit. I convinced my wife to try Celebrity with the lure of a hot breakfast delivered to her cabin. lol Now its another $25 a day... not the end of the world but for 10 days it adds up. More importantly it's what I bought. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only upgrade is in a Suite. The charge is $9.95 plus $1.79 gratuities = $11.74. Suite passengers do not pay the fee. You can also have the MDR menu items delivered to your room for the $11.74 charge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BazingAu Posted March 3, 2023 #20 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Like many posting here, the enhanced breakfast was one of the biggest reasons we booked Concierge for our upcoming cruise. Sigh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2boxers Posted March 6, 2023 #21 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I booked concierge and didn't even realize, just wanted a certain stateroom. We like coffee and pastry delivered as a breakfast appetizer then go to breakfast or bring it back to our room to enjoy on the balcony. Little effort, same results.

Continental breakfast from Room Service does not have a delivery charge. You can still get your coffee and pastry delivered at breakfast, just like before. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
