Rare LewiLewi Posted May 28 #1 Share Posted May 28 Is there a charge for continental breakfast delivered to your room? Do they charge for a room delivery plus what you order as well? Are there charges for everything delivered to your room from any dining venue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memoak Posted May 28 #2 Share Posted May 28 (edited) That is a lot of questions. If you order from the door hanger no charge. If you order through room service or the app there may be charges for ordering depending on your package. Some food items have a price but will be listed Edited May 28 by memoak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted May 28 #3 Share Posted May 28 There is no charge for breakfast ordered by the door hang tag. If you order anything using the Ocean Now app there is a one time charge of $14.99. The charge is included with the plus and premier fares. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ice cream is new since my last cruise. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like there are any plant-based choices. Bummer for those that are Vegan or that have dairy allergies 🙋🏻♀️.

A$15 should / could be USD$10. Still there's a charge for 90% of the options even after paying the $14.95 if a standard cruiser Edited May 29 by Ombud 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsSoCalCruiser Posted May 29 #7 Share Posted May 29 There are a lot of Room Service items that do not have a charge after you pay the one time $14.99 OceanNow charge. If there’s more than one person in the cabin, just have one person pay the charge and then order the food for everyone for the entire cruise. If you have Plus or Premier package then you do not have to pay the $14.99 fee. Don’t tell anyone but I have been known to order nightly room service. I like to order the club sandwich with fruit or french fries. It goes great with a free movie on demand. If you call Room Service on the phone you will also be charged five dollars per call so it’s more affordable to use the app. I’m not telling anyone what to do, but I always tip room service a few dollars. I really appreciate the delivery! Let us know if you have any more questions. We are happy to help when we can. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like things have changed since my cruise last year. I have a 17 day cruise coming up and I want to decide what to order. Note to self…Stay away from the French Fries. 😂😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I showed the 3 desserts (chocolate cake, cheesecake, and key lime pot) plus there were 3 salads (Greek, Caesar, and house) and fries. After reviewing the options I didn't pay for OceanNow It was completely different from the Enchanted Princess November 23, 2023 -> December 8, 2023. Disappointing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ombud Posted May 29 #14 Share Posted May 29 @alwalaska i love the key lime. Tastes more like meyer lemon meringue which is fine by me. Chocolate cake is too dry, then they try to compensate for that by making icing too sweet. Cake needs butter, icing needs salt to cut sweetness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get by with the tiny bit of lemon juice required for most cheesecake recipes, but I don't want to take my chances with key lime pie. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in case you don’t know, Princess is better than other cruise lines as far as charges for room service. On Royal Caribbean last year I was shocked that I had to pay $9.99 (I think that’s how much it was) each time I ordered room service. At least with Princess if I don’t have a package, I pay $14.99 and I’m good for the entire cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two reasons I look forward to cruise dining - escargot in MDR at least once and creme brulee galore. Two things I never have at home but I love having them on a cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted May 29 #18 Share Posted May 29 Princess has yet to replace the really good Room Service Chocolate cake with butter icing. The MDR doesn't even offer a good plain old chocolate cake. How hard could it be to bake a chocolate cake with butter frosting? 1 hour ago, Ombud said: @alwalaska i love the key lime.
