Tom Graphy Posted August 25, 2015 #3 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Nope! Just fill out the breakfast Room Service Form for a pot of coffee and what time you want it delivered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenn4ever Posted August 25, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) Ohh, I so hope this is correct. Husband just did a 'google' and said that there is a charge forALL room service. I just can't imagine having to go down to the dining room in pj's to get my coffee and carting it back to the cabin :) Edited August 25, 2015 by Tenn4ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenn4ever Posted August 25, 2015 Author #8 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) http://www.ncl.com/faq#norwegian-cruise-line-now-charging-room-service You just dashed my hopes. This sounds like there is a $7.95 charge just for coffee!!!. That's what husband had read today. Why would I want to pay $7.95 for a pot of coffee plus a tip :( Need some advice from someone who just sailed in a balcony room...not Haven or a suite.

rbrugler Posted August 25, 2015 #9 Share Posted August 25, 2015 There is no charge for the continental breakfast items. Order coffee, real cream, fruit plate, danish or croissants, all for free. We ordered for three adults every single day. Tipped $5 which was our choice. Just do not put the dishes in the hallway when finished. And, by the way, we ordered two pots each morning.

murcor Posted August 25, 2015 #10 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Just got off the pearl yesterday.... We had coffee room service every morning. No $7.95 for coffee in the morning. We were in an ocean view. I wish I took s pic of the breakfast room service card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would I want to pay $7.95 for a pot of coffee plus a tip :( Need some advice from someone who just sailed in a balcony room...not Haven or a suite. A very simple continental breakfast is available from 6 - 10 am free of charge. Basically coffee and pastry. Outside of that there is always the new $7.95 room service charge. HAPPY NEWS!! You are in a balcony cabin so there will be a coffee maker in your room. They will have the little cartons of dairy stuff in the cabin for you. You could pick up a carton of milk or some cream at the buffet to keep in your cabin fridge if this is more to your preference. So no need to stress about your morning java you do have a couple of options and they are indeed free of charge. Rochelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenn4ever Posted August 25, 2015 Author #12 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Thanks everyone for the reassurance that I am not going to have to pay $7.95 plus tip for one cup of coffee when I first get up in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mind my asking when this was? On my cruise in May on the Jade fruit, cereal and yogurt were no longer options on the continental breakfast card. Just coffee, tea, hot chocolate, milk, juice, pastries and preserves. Unless things have changed once again...ya never know. ;) Rochelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just off the Getaway and we had 2 pots of coffee delivered every morning and there is NO service charge for morning continental breakfast. Leave the breakfast card out the night before and they are there right on time. A tip is all that is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzsnooze Posted August 26, 2015 #16 Share Posted August 26, 2015 No worries. A continental breakfast is still only the cost of a tip. *during certain hours. The tip is in the daily service charge so need to double tip if you don't remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richg35 Posted August 26, 2015 #17 Share Posted August 26, 2015 The tip is in the daily service charge so need to double tip if you don't remove it. It's not really a "double tip". Some travelers are just more generous than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is really a double tip since room service shares in the daily service charge. Yes, some people like to tip extra to make themselves feel big and important and think it gets the better service , and some are tip for services rendered as expected as yielded.

motleyfan Posted August 26, 2015 #21 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Am I going to have to pay extra for a pot of coffee to be brought to my cabin in the morning? What is free is basically the continental breakfast. The same breakfast that is free at every hotel across America lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkacmom Posted August 26, 2015 #22 Share Posted August 26, 2015 What is free is basically the continental breakfast. The same breakfast that is free at every hotel across America lol. Really? What hotel in the US offers free coffee and pastries via room service? Heck, DH travels a lot for work, and there is NOTHING free in the hotels he stays in (which is the norm at higher end business hotels and conference centers). You wNt a cup of coffee? Try the Starbucks in the lobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try the Starbucks in the lobby. No I did not mean the room service part, I meant when you go to the lobby they usually have a continental breakfast. I never mentioned the room service. To be more clear, the room service you are getting for free is the continental breakfast the same thing you get at the lobby of almost any hotel in America Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck finding that lobby set-up in major cities. Maybe small town America... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMLady Posted August 26, 2015 #25 Share Posted August 26, 2015 It is really a double tip since room service shares in the daily service charge. ... . Room service is not included in Daily Service Charge. That is why the Room Service Charge was initiated. Since free continental breakfast has no service charge and those servers do not get extra from DSC, we always tip a dollar or two. Room service duties are in addition to servers other duties.
