ccruisequeen Posted November 16, 2015 #27 Share Posted November 16, 2015 On my last cruise, my mom and I ordered room service. It didn't arrive at 7:30, so we went to the disabled/assistance area, grabbed a table, and when it finally arrived, we had them bring it to the table. I still cruise for Warm Chocolate Melting Cake (with 2 sugar free ice creams), lobster, and Creme brulee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky2 Posted November 16, 2015 #29 Share Posted November 16, 2015 .....my wife and I have been discussing what to do for breakfast on debarkation day and she said we should ask folks on cruise critic what they do... ...so....what do you do if you happen to not have to be off the ship right away ( we are actually staying an extra day in FLL after our cruise ) and we are trying to figure out what to do as check in to our hotel in FLL isn't until 3pm. thoughts? We always go to the MDR the morning of debarkation. Lido tends to be a zoo on debarkation day. On our last cruise (2nd of B2B), we were staying an extra day in Fort Lauderdale because Sunday flights were so expensive, it was $396 cheaper to fly home on Monday. We just sat around onboard till almost everyone was off the ship and went down when they said "last call". However, it was a zoo when we got down there, but since you have time to kill, it should be OK. You might want to call your hotel & say you will be arriving early. They may or may not have your room ready. You can always sit in the hotel lobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdalva Posted November 16, 2015 #30 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Please don't try being the last ones off, that just holds up the incoming passengers. No one starts boarding until Everybody is Off! SO, When your all excited and waiting to board, and they keep holding you back,,, That could be the reason why!

jmcancruise Posted November 16, 2015 #31 Share Posted November 16, 2015 We have always just skipped breakfast on debarkcation day, but next time around we are thinking of going to the diningroom on our turn around day as we are doing a b2b. Just curious is the main dining room very busy on the last morning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizinrican Posted November 17, 2015 #32 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Some times we pick at hotel continental breakfast with a cup of coffee or if driving to port morning of we just have coffee at home. But usually we just wait until we board and just have our pick of anything and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djptcp Posted November 17, 2015 #33 Share Posted November 17, 2015 DH and I order room service for breakfast every morning on the cruise, so we do the same for debarkation morning. It just comes a little earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizinrican Posted November 17, 2015 #34 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I read it wrong, guess I better drink my coffee before jumping on boards! Lmao I apologize too late to edit now........so for debarkation we get up early and head to buffet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrappinCSI Posted November 17, 2015 #35 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Just curious is the main dining room very busy on the last morning? We never do breakfast anywhere but the MDR any morning of our cruises. To tell you the truth the MDR never seems busy for breakfast even before debarking. We never can understand why folks serve themselves at the cattle lines when you could be served on your vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We eat just like we do any other day, only a little earlier. As far as your hotel, don't wait until 3:00 to go check in. You can often get your room early, and even if you can't get into your room they will hold your luggage for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollandAvery Posted November 17, 2015 #37 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Our very first cruise (last cruise) we ran up to the Lido to grab some stuff and then brought it back down to our room to munch on while we finished packing. We did self-assist. I'm really not quite sure what we'll do this time. We definitely plan on doing self-assist again and want to be off the ship quite early. We may order room service. Not sure.

SadieN Posted November 17, 2015 #38 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Most hotels will hold your luggage for you. Either with the bellmen or at the front desk. Sometimes we've been able to check in, but not access our room, early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacationlover01 Posted November 17, 2015 #39 Share Posted November 17, 2015 We did self assist with debarkation. We ordered room service to be delivered at 6:30. We ate, and finished packing and we left our room at 8:15. By 8:40 we were in our car and on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMSACE6 Posted November 18, 2015 #42 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I used to do room service light continental of fruit and croissant, but the last two cruises, I had fttf, (aka, faster to the fun ) which also gives you zone one debarkation, right after self assist, so the last two cruises I didn't bother with breakfast at all, and just ate when I got to where I was going after debarkation.

092306 Posted November 18, 2015 #43 Share Posted November 18, 2015 We do MDR around 7 and debark by 8-8:30 or whenever they call the first group off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbgd Posted November 18, 2015 #44 Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) One of the best things I like about Carnival is debarkation room service. Bring a carafe of coffee and some type of carb I'm good to go for getting off the ship. I thought all cruiselines did but they donnt If we are having a late flight or staying over for a night we rent a car A lot cheaper than a cruiseship excursion or taxi Edited November 18, 2015 by jonbgd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
