stbmom Posted July 17, 2008 #1 Share Posted July 17, 2008 My last couple of cruises were on RCCL and I had an awful experience this last cruise trying to get food for my kiddo (I know, not being able to get food on a cruise:confused: ) We will be relying on room service to get veggies and fruit and maybe sandwhiches for our kids who are very early risers. With RCCL, they touted a 24 hour room service menu, but we soon found out they didn't actually have room service between about 4 am and 7 am. How do I know? No matter what time I called, they always told me it woudl arrive at 7:00. I called at 4:30 AM one day (with the time change it was my ds actual wake up time in our "real" life) and they told me they would have the food there at 7:00 and I thought they were joking. They were not joking:mad: Now, we do take snacks on board for the kids, but really - 7 nights and 3 kids - I would need to bring a small grocery store. But, I need to know in case we need to run up and grab things from the buffet before they shut down or can I really call for fruit and veggies at 5:00 AM and actually get them delivered to the cabin in less than 3 hours? Please my Carnival gurus - help me with this question:) Oh yea, after a 5 year romp away from Carnival - I'm HOME:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Jerome Wild Posted July 17, 2008 #2 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I can definitely say that I have ordered room service at every hour of the day and night.;) It is 24 hours. I have also tested the pizza theory and the ice cream theory. Yep. 24 hours as well. :D Click here for the room service menu thread, and vote on your favorite sandwich! http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=359674 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He says they make it fresh for him at that time of day. :D Room service is definitely there 24 hours but don't know if the OP can get the fruits and veggies they are looking for. The menu is pretty limited - sandwiches, salads, & continental breakfast stuff. Seems like the fruits offered are banana, melon, & grapefruit maybe. Oops - should have clicked on your thread first - looks like there are veggies available! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stbmom Posted July 17, 2008 Author #4 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Awesome! Even a limited menu is enough to satisfy the kiddos and give them something semi healthy. Oh yea, and pizza for dh and I while the kids are asleep is cool too:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a nice fresh veggie sticks (crudite) served with Blue Cheese, but will give you whatever side dressing/dip you want. Also whatever fresh fruit they have ready for fruit salads and such, they'll give you. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were not joking Oh yea, after a 5 year romp away from Carnival - I'm HOME:D At least RCCL gave you a specific time. On our last (and believe me, it WAS our last cruise with RCCL) they no-showed half the time when we ordered room service. It was one of the many things that went wrong with our cruises with them. We're glad to be back on Carnival as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenanneitis Posted July 17, 2008 #10 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Yes it's 24 hours and we've ordered at all times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseHead98 Posted July 17, 2008 #11 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Yep 24 hours. Glad 2. I love room service chocolate cake Mmmm thinking about it now :rolleyes: Ps: They have fruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viciouslysh Posted July 17, 2008 #12 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Yep, they come anytime! My DD was up at 3 or 4 AM whining for milk last year. She was two. So I called for milk and a PB and it was there within minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southbayer Posted July 17, 2008 #13 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Yes they do, grub 24/7:D And don't forget to tip for the service a buck or two, not mandatory, but it's a nice gesture. It's "not your own" stateroom steward who brings your food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bases5 Posted July 17, 2008 #14 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Help me if I'm wrong but I do believe they shut down room service at 3 or 4 on the last night. I also think that is posted in the capers. I like RCCL but I have to agree there room Service stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsfamily Posted July 17, 2008 #15 Share Posted July 17, 2008 On RCCL it may be that you can only get the breakfast menu that you stick outside your door at that time (4-7am). I don't know for sure as it has been years since I did a cruise on RCCL. I do know I have ordered both breakfast and regular menu early in the morning and received it. In fact the last night I ordered food that came at 6:30am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
