SusanSmithJr Posted December 26, 2012 #5 Share Posted December 26, 2012 One more little complaint: When I went with HAL, the room service menu was much better. Princess's motivated me to leave the room. But my complaint is the coffee carafe. HAL's I could leave it half full and return in the afternoon and it'd still be warm. Princess's was cold after less than an hour, even if full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC offered a fraction of what Princess does....not much of a selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaGeg Posted February 21, 2013 #10 Share Posted February 21, 2013 My husband and I went on a Carnival cruise in October (never again!) and they had a pretty weak room service menu compared to Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickwho Posted February 21, 2013 #11 Share Posted February 21, 2013 My morning coffee on the Dawn Princess was tepid when delivered, and I nicely asked the young Asian lady who delivererd it to ensure that it was hot next time. She told me that they were instructed to deliver it in this state becuase the company was fearful of being sued if the coffee was scalding hot, and I spilled some on myself. HELLO? I love the video - I hope that lady is on my next cruise in 14 days - she can be a food consultant - peanut butter on 'white' bread, and UHT milk.

Pam in CA Posted February 21, 2013 #12 Share Posted February 21, 2013 When I went with HAL, the room service menu was much better. Princess's motivated me to leave the room.Different approach. HAL's buffet closes tighter than a drum ridiculously early for breakfast, lunch and dinner so you have no options other than room service or the grill for a late breakfast, lunch or dinner. The Princess buffet is fully open with a wide variety of food options from about 5:30am until 11pm. Just a different approach to dining options.

strummer Posted February 21, 2013 #13 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Thanks for posting the room service menu, it certainly seems to have expanded since I last cruised with princess (admittedly a number of years). Our next cruise will be our first with a balcony so we may well use room service for the first time :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy cruzer Posted March 17, 2013 #14 Share Posted March 17, 2013 On other lines that only serve continential breakfast, I have written in an item from the 24 hour menu such as the club sandwich for my breakfast. I know Princess has the mcmuffin type sandwich. But if I wanted the club sandwich would they deliver that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, anything on the room service menu is available 24 hours a day (except disembarkation morning). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutetrill Posted March 17, 2013 #16 Share Posted March 17, 2013 OMG you can't go by that lady in that video. First off she admits she's a picky eater, and secondly she's pregnant. And we all know that pregnant ladies are crazy! And I'm a girl so.. lol no insult intended. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusalka42 Posted March 17, 2013 #17 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Just curious, what are the options for breakfast on room service, we have our first balcony and thought breakfast on it would be a nice way to start the day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monakayk Posted March 18, 2013 #18 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I have written in HOT food items on my breakfast order many, many times on all my PCL cruises and have always had everything I wrote in delivered to my cabin. I have written items such as Scrabble Eggs to Eggs Benedict. PCL staff have been VERY good to me with delivering these great food request...and I always reward the staff with a VERY good tip for bringing my request for my breakfast. As for the 'gal' (IMHO she isn't a 'lady' by the foul language she used) in the video....she admits she is pregnant, but IMHO she looks like she is drunk or high on drugs. I pity the room service staff who had to deal with her room service order! :(:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpcountryTravelers Posted March 18, 2013 Author #19 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Thanks for the info. Just back from Island Princess after Celebrity Reflection in January. Princess could learn from them, their room service choices are MUCH greater. After 9 cruises with Princess, we are quite tired of the limited - boring by now - breakfast choices. (But I must say, Princess is still our favorite cruise line overall.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusalka42 Posted March 18, 2013 #20 Share Posted March 18, 2013 This may seem like a silly question but how do you tip if you aren't paying with your cruise card? Also coming from the UK where our tip culture is different how do I know how much is usual to tip for things like room service etc? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunneesmile Posted March 18, 2013 #21 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I have written in specifics on the hangtag breakfast order form they leave in the room. Like a veggie omelet. I have always received what I specified. Also, I always tipped generously for that. On other lines that only serve continential breakfast, I have written in an item from the 24 hour menu such as the club sandwich for my breakfast. I know Princess has the mcmuffin type sandwich.

Also coming from the UK where our tip culture is different how do I know how much is usual to tip for things like room service etc?Thanks When room service delivers, you have to sign for it and you have the opportunity to add a tip to the ticxket. I always add 15-20% as the tip and I base the amount what I would pay for that item in the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunneesmile Posted March 18, 2013 #24 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Yes, the room service staff is different than your room steward. On Princess is the room service staff separate from your cabin staff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also coming from the UK where our tip culture is different how do I know how much is usual to tip for things like room service etc?Thanks For room service, tip from the heart. My DW likes her coffee as soon as she wakes, so we always hang a door-tag the night before. WE always bring a wad of small bills for the purpose of tipping. If the server is terse or crabby they may get a little less than normal ( a few dollars) However, we usually have great servers. I like to see how they react, seeing me in my underwear.:eek: ...at the same time, a substantial tip. I could only imagine MY reaction if the young lady in the previous video showed as the server. What fun !;) In case you missed it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_pC3uzI4x4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
