CarnivalCruiseLover Posted November 12, 2008 #126 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I order it almost every night of a cruise. Alot of times I do it for the ice tea, and I order cookies or a salad or something so they aren't just delivery ice tea. This is usually late at night, and when I am to lazy to go up to the Lido for something to drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyschauer Posted November 12, 2008 #127 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Room service is the best. My daughter & I order on excursion days and deembarkation days. The bagel & lox is the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrmende63 Posted November 12, 2008 #128 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Other than the menu you hang on your door for breakfast? Seriously why would anyone eat a full meal in their cabin?? We ordered room service to get an usual item...a bottle opener! I had ordered hubby the carnival insulated lunch box with 6 Bud lights in it. This was the second time I had ordered them. The first time the bottle caps screwed off...this last time they did not. The room service person came and opened the bottles. This next upcoming cruise (B2B in 17 days!!:D) we are bringing our own bottle opener!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPete Posted November 13, 2008 #129 Share Posted November 13, 2008 after reading this thread, with the kids being older and since we'll be on the Southern iterinary with a port everyday, ordering room service will come in handy for packing lunches for the beach. You will not be allowed to take food off the ship unless it's processed or pre packaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgray69 Posted November 13, 2008 #130 Share Posted November 13, 2008 we aren't in room long enough but sounds like many people enjoy room service. interesting thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic pirate Posted November 13, 2008 #131 Share Posted November 13, 2008 We use room service quite a bit. I like to call and place an order either in the morning or after returning from an excursion - then jump in the shower and am clean and dressed by the time the food gets there. It is such a time saver. It also keeps me from being tempted by all the choices and extra calories in the buffett and dining room. We are trying to switch our focus from eating all the time to enjoying the activites and relaxing. Room service is actually quite tasty and I enjoy the salads and crudites. For some reason the pot of coffee they bring is much better than what you make with the little maker in the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisecastle Posted November 13, 2008 Author #132 Share Posted November 13, 2008 You will not be allowed to take food off the ship unless it's processed or pre packaged. Why would anyone ever need to take food off of the ship. Most ports have restaurants if you need food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofzeke Posted November 14, 2008 #133 Share Posted November 14, 2008 For some reason the pot of coffee they bring is much better than what you make with the little maker in the room. Unfortunately, Carnival ships do not have the little coffee maker in the cabins. As soon as my feet hit the floor in the morning, I am on the phone ordering a pot of coffee. Gotta have my "go juice"! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flpab Posted November 14, 2008 #134 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I don't function without my coffee in the am so always order a pot and some pastries in the AM so that I don't have to rush. Tip well for the room service. If it is a sea day then I order more for breakfast and skip the buffet. I lay in bed and relax! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunShipCruiser05 Posted November 14, 2008 #136 Share Posted November 14, 2008 never! I only use room service as luxurious all inclusive resorts :D;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathansburden Posted November 14, 2008 #137 Share Posted November 14, 2008 On our last cruise, room service brought us cups and ping pong balls to play "wine pong" with the bottle of wine my sister won playing funship survivor. This time dh and I are bringing our son (7mo), it sounds like room service will be a godsend!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzy1212 Posted November 14, 2008 #138 Share Posted November 14, 2008 We order coffee, OJ, and croissants as soon as we wake up to tide us over until everyone is ready to go get breakfast at the buffet. I like the dining room for breakfast, but Jim usually just wants to do the buffet because it's quicker. We sometimes get RS when we come back on board from port. The deli and grill are always packed at that time. RS can be slow then too though. At least one afternoon I like to hang out in the cabin/on the balcony and order an assortment of all the yummy sandwiches they offer and share them with whoever we happen to be cruising with on that trip.

Bradtez Posted November 14, 2008 #139 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Other than the menu you hang on your door for breakfast? Seriously why would anyone eat a full meal in their cabin?? We will always order snacks to eat on our suite balcony, why wouldnt you want to take advantage of that????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar*Magnolia Posted November 14, 2008 #140 Share Posted November 14, 2008 We wanted to relax and watch a movie. I wanted chips and my dh wanted a drink. I ordered chips and his got a long island ice tea. What's better than this? Room Service delivers cocktails???? Does anyone have the RS menu to POST?

teacher2cruiser Posted November 14, 2008 #141 Share Posted November 14, 2008 On our first cruise, my husband and I had spent the day at Grand Cayman, and we were exhausted. We went to the room and ordered a balcony picnic. It was quite nice sitting out there, having our snack and watching the tenders come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar*Magnolia Posted November 14, 2008 #142 Share Posted November 14, 2008 When your sunburn is soooo bad that you can't even image walking down a hall way. ROOM SERVICE! When you stayed on board while everyone else went on a excursion, and you don't want to sit by yourself. ROOM SERVICE! When you are still in the early part of your relationship, that time when you don't want to leave the cabin, get dressed, or even leave the bed. ROOM SERVICE! I remember my brother telling me about a Royal Caribbean cruise he was on, and Johnny Rocket burgers and shakes? I think he said he had them delivered to the room so that people wouldn't know he was eating so many of them! (He probably told me this in confidence, so keep that one just between us.) 24 hour ROOM SERVICE IS GREAT! Hahah! Adorable, and all so true! Well, except Johnny Rockets on RCIs ships do NOT, will not ever deliver. (Not even to the Royal suite unless your Concierge gets it for you) Enjoying this thread so!! Amazing how much fun food can be to talk about! lol We're much looking forward to Miracle in a few weeks!! Anyone who has been on her please feel free to brag about everything you like! ID love to hear all about her! (email is below) For those Pineapple Juice lovers, the Dining room service it for breakfast. Fred Will they add some chambord?

babyher Posted November 14, 2008 #143 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Ya just gotta love room service. :) First off , DW and I have to have coffee and maybe an English muffin when we first wake up and start getting ready for the day. We are ugly people without coffee in the morning *LOL* And there is nothing like a BLT and a salad for a mid afternoon or late night snack. And HEY, whats this "at the beginning of the relationship when you don't want to leave the bed" DW and I have been married 6 years, been together (I don't know how to count that high many years *LOL* and have 3 teenagers and we still have our times we don't want to get out of bed. (Especially on cruises when they aren't with us) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island Annie Posted November 14, 2008 #144 Share Posted November 14, 2008 When I have a balcony cabin I like to order a nice breakfast and enjoy eating it on my balc rather than amoungst the crowds. Besides . . . Room service breakfast (IMO) always tastes so much better than the buffet food. I can enjoy a liesurely breakfast and take my time getting ready for another fun day:-). Works for me.

KNowme1st Posted November 15, 2008 #146 Share Posted November 15, 2008 oh yes! constantly. We are taking grandson on his 1st cruise in Jan, and that is the 1 big thing he is looking forward to. He loves the idea of room service and that he can call for pizza, etc at 2am and have it delivered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobug Posted November 15, 2008 #147 Share Posted November 15, 2008 ROLL TIDE BABY!! You are much more brave than I am...we only cruise when it's not football season or on a Bama off weekend!
