[tgjr]

Can you order a mug of coffie in your cabin from roomservice in the morning, and what do you pay for it?

Room service is free and you can order coffee it comes in a little thermos thing! All you have to do its tip your room service guy! Usually $2 will be plenty! :D

You can't order a mug of coffee. You can order a pot of coffee though. :D

 

Room service is free but you should tip (a buck or two).

On the Legend of the Seas in 2007 the Grand Suites had a french press and a hot water maker.

DS and I are such coffee hounds we usually ordered enough coffee from room service for 3 people.

 

There is a room service card in your cabin. Fill it out the night before and hang it on your door. Your coffee will be delivered along with juice or any other items you select. I didn't realize on my first cruise that they didn't deliver on the last morning when we arrive in port. Ouch.

LOVE having my coffee delivered... I think that 1st delivery is what makes me really realize I'm on my cruise..:D

[rubrrick]

I believe that all ships.......GS and above now have the french press and hot water maker.

 

We had one delivered to the RS on the Monarch last May and were fortunate enough to try it. My DW loves the coffee that it makes.

 

That has been a nice touch that Royal Caribbean has added to the suites.

I learned long ago that even if the tag you hang out on your door says room service begins at 7 - don't believe it! I use a bold marker and write in 6AM as I am an early riser. I have had NO problems. The coffee is there at 6! Just make sure you specify 1/2&1/2 and sugar if you prefer that. This last cruise I just assumed they would give us that - they didn't. The 1/2&1/2 comes in a large beverage glass with a cap on it. It was definately better than the little white containers of chemicals I got the first day.

Yep, we always had coffee and juice brought to r room in the morning, what a way to start the day on the balcony. Always left a tip.

Room service is the way to go, but I have to say that the ONLY thing I think NCL has over RCCL is in room coffee makers in every cabin regardless of cat. :D. Happy sailing!

One thing i would like to know is surely if you have prepaid your tips then you don't need to tip for room service, I mean tips on top of the tips on top of tips etc etc

[2_4_cruising]

Prepaid tips do not include the folks who bring your room service.

Besides ordering RS coffee, we bring travel mugs. Great for filling at the coffee station outside the WJ and taking back to your balcony!! ;)

Regardless of the prepaid tips I always give the coffee man 2.00 a day. I think he is worthy of more - this is my morning routine and they are serving me! I look forward to my time out on the balcony while DH sleeps in. That pot is all mine ;) I order two so he has his when he wakes up....

If you order tea how does it arrive? In a cup with one bag?

[Langley Cruisers]

Tea pot, just like at a restaurant.

[Lady_Gamecock]

Tea pot, just like at a restaurant.

 

And if I remember correctly, it's just water in the tea pot - they allow you to steep the tea bag to your tasting.

[Langley Cruisers]

The 1/2&1/2 comes in a large beverage glass with a cap on it. It was definately better than the little white containers of chemicals I got the first day.

 

Absolutely - makes the coffee go down easier, too. :p Sorry, not a fan of the room service coffee. The only place (for me) I could find palatable coffee was in the back of the Café Promenade.

[sparkymarky]

Well i have prepaid my tips so i don't intend on tipping again. Who and how royal carribean give the tips to is up to them but i am not paying twice.

Not trying to wind anyone up it is just my opinion

[sparkymarky]

sorry double posted

[Sarvowinner]

We are taking a travel kettle and our own teabags and when i come back i will let you know how we got on !

 

Thanks Sparky

 

I sometimes think that Aussies and Poms live in a parallel universe when it comes to a good cup of tea.

I'll sum up the coffe in 1 word "SUCKS"!!!.....I always pack my 4 cup coffe maker that I keep in the box that I bought it in. It has a automatic shut off so I know it's safe.......RCCL needs to improve the whole coffee thing!!!

The tips that you prepay are for your room steward and for your dining room servers, not room service. It is certainly your decision to tip whomever you wish and whatever amount, but please do not try to rationalize that your regular tips (pre-paid or not) cover room service. They don't and never have.:rolleyes:
