Room Service Menu?

[missbear]

Can anyone who has sailed recently remember anything from the room service menu? For Non-suites, that is!

Sailed on the Sun in Jan this year. There were hamburgers, hot dogs, salad, roast beef sandwiches, ham sandwiches and turkey sandwiches. There was also Flan and really good chocolate chip cookies for desert. I believe this is standard becasue we were on Dawn in 1/03 and exact same menu. Hope this helps.

Standard complementary offerings available 24 hours a day include

· Roast Beef
· Roast Turkey Breast
· Tuna Salad
· Vegetarian
· Club House
· Assorted Mixed Garden Greens
· Chef’s Salad and
· Caesar Salad with Chicken Strips
· Croque Monsieur – a grilled ham and cheese sandwich- just ok
· Grilled Hamburger or Cheeseburger- Whitney approved
· Ballpark Style Hot Dog
· Caramel Flan- I had at least two of these every day
· Chocolate Chip Cookie
· Chocolate Fudge Cake – brownies if you ask me
· Coffee, tea and milk

Also available is full bar service and a menu of selections designed for “if you wish to host a private party in your stateroom” and oh yes, it does indeed say to allow approximately 6 hours preparation time. These offerings carry a charge and include:

· Selection of Assorted Canapes ($10)- well done
· Selection of Deluxe Canapes ($14)
· Fresh Vegetable Platter with Cheese Dip ($6)
· Tray of Imported and Domestic Cheese with Crackers ($12)
· Chilled Shrimp on Ice ($14)-very nice
· Guacamole Dip with Tortilla Chips ($8)- dang good
· Chocolate Dipped Strawberries ($8)-excellent

Another offering by room service is the Champagne Breakfast for Two. Offered on Thursday morning, our last day at sea, and ordered by use of a door hanger before you go to bed it includes

· Moet and Chandon- chilled half bottle
· Warm Wasket of Homemade Pastries
· Delicate Cold Smoked Salmon
· Forrest Berries Presented In a Crowned Melon Basket
· Quiche Loraine

I think it sounds like a bargain for $25 (for two) but it didn’t sound even close to something Dad and Daughter would be doing on this cruise.

As with everything else, all charges are posted to your shipboard account.

Happy Cruising

It's kinda line Creme Brule' or custard but firmer and has a caramel sauce poured over it.

That sauce comes out when the dessert is inverted on the serving plate http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I don't care for it myself but it makes a nice presentation!

Thanks!!! I really shouldn't read about food between meals but the info is appreciated!

What about room service for breakfast? What kind of offering do they have there, and is it true that you can order anything you like even if it is not on the menu?
