sabrefan Posted November 23, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Sailing on Regent Explorer in April, this will be our first cruise on Regent. Aside from room service for breakfast what other options are there on Explorer? Is there a breakfast buffet? Just feel that buffet style is faster for breakfast.

Rare mj_holiday Posted November 23, 2023 #2 Share Posted November 23, 2023 LaVeranda is the buffet for breakfast and lunch. The Coffee Connection has some fruit, pastries etc. The Pool Grill has healthy continental breakfast. Some days the Compass Rose serves breakfast. For room service if you use the door hanger to order breakfast the night before you can identify a delivery time frame. Check the daily newsletter for the times of service at all the different venues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishwitchy Posted November 23, 2023 #3 Share Posted November 23, 2023 MJ is spot on. Compass Rose is never fast, go there on a sea day for a leisurely breakfast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually eat a light breakfast in the Coffee Connection. Edited November 23, 2023 by Portolan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mango puddin Posted November 23, 2023 #5 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Currently on Explorer. Each has pros and cons. La Veranda: buffet. Poolside: fresh fruit/veg juices, some self service items. Compass Rose: some good options but can be slow. Has items unavailable in La Veranda. Occasionally has a small buffet area (not too exciting). Sunday sea days is brunch, which is quite fun. Staff make a lot of effort and there’s a decent array of food Coffee Connection: very small self service area. I don’t really eat here, just get coffee.

NCCruzQueen Posted November 23, 2023 #6 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Just to let you know, the Sunday sea day brunch is on the 3 newest ships: Grandeur, Splendor, and Explorer. Rarely on the other 3 ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda VH Posted November 24, 2023 #7 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Be aware that in La Veranda, if you are ordering eggs, you need to give your table number as the food is delivered to your table. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkaratsu Posted November 26, 2023 #10 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Was recently on the Explorer and one thing to keep in mind (at least it was true for me) is that with the room service breakfast cards that you get, if there is something that you want (that isn't on the menu), write it in. For example, things like papaya, prunes, baked beans, peanut butter, etc. are not on the menu card but we never had any problems getting these things. (We did have a butler so I don't know if this made a difference or not. Oh yeah, on the day that had the caviar brunch, we got that delivered to the room as well. Seriously, the service in the Compass Rose for breakfast can be glacial...) And if you are not a big breakfast person, the Coffee Connection is super convenient. Fresh fruit, fresh pastries, tea (not coffee drinkers here) and yogurt is sometimes all you need. RK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Techno123 Posted November 26, 2023 #12 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Explorer Sunday brunch (only on sea days I believe. (I actually took the photos to persuade my husband to go as he was planning on going to La Veranda 😱) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every cruise is different We'll be on Grandeur for Christmas/Canal cruise. Glad CR breakfast should not take forever. Would like to do that a few times but don't want to gather dust in the process. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenzSailing Posted November 27, 2023 #16 Share Posted November 27, 2023 We are also on the Grandeur December Panama Canal cruise. We have two Sunday/sea days. It's my understanding only one of those will be the grand gala buffet(whatever Regent calls it.) Does that sound right? BTW, the first is on Christmas eve and the second on New Year's eve. Should be good fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were on - but we didn't go as they were late afternoon and you can't possibly exercise on a full stomach 😜😜😂😂. I did go to the HIIT class in the morning (well once 😜) and we used the gym and walked the deck but it made no difference to the direction the scales took last night, I'm afraid.
