Dose celebrity have a room like the diamond lounge where u can go 24 hours and get coffee

No dedicated lounge no matter the time of day for elite and elite+. Unless staying in a suite. Then there's the Retreat/Michaels lounge.

 There is an "Elite Breakfast" which is normally held in the Tuscan Grill.  It is a continental style breakfast with no hot offerings.  You can get various pastries, bagels, deli meats, and coffee's. 

 

 There is no root or lounge like on Royal Caribbean dedicated to Elite guest.  There is an "Elite Happy Hour" each day except embarkation where Elite can get free drinks, from a specific selection (see below) at most bars.  Also unlike Royal Caribbean, the free drinks are not served in the restaurants so you much get your drink in a bar and take with you if you are dining between 5 - 8 PM.

Nothing similar to the Diamond Lounge.

The coffee house breakfast is a continental style breakfast held in one of the restaurants from 8-10.  You can get cappuccino, lattes, bloody Mary’s, mimosas also.

 

 I love the fruit smoothies as well !!

I liked the coffee house breakfast for something quick if you have plans and need to be quick.  An example - we were staying in the suites, and could do Luminae, but didn't want to take the time.  Also didn't want to deal with the buffet or MDR.  We had an art tour of the ship that started I think at 9:30 and was meeting just outside of Tuscan.  We just grabbed the coffee house breakfast that day as it was super easy to eat and meet the art tour after eating.  It's nothing you can't get anywhere else on board - but it is convenient if you want something quick and don't want to deal with the buffet or a restaurant.

Can you get the macchiato or cappuccino with a shot of flavoring?

Our favourite way to start the day. On sea days and particularly on longer cruises (Transatlantics for example) it is a great social hub. The Captain's Club host attends every day which is handy if you have a question.

If you have booked Sail Only the free lattes, cappuccinos , bloody Mary's etc are a bounus. If you have AI the "free" drinks are not really of any value.

Hello,

 

What I miss from the 'Coffee House Style breakfast' are ordinary cereals, eg (my first preference) Special K. When or why they were dropped is either a mystery or 'covid' - the answer to a lot these days.

 

Regards,

 

Cublet

For those looking for a quick bite, and usually less crowded, go to the Eden Cafe on the Apex.  It is right behind the Eden Bar.

 

Hot and cold breakfast and lunch items.  There’s also a coffee bar, there.   Much better than the “Elite” Breakfast.

I believe you get special coffee and mimosa’s, at elite breakfast, if the same as s and m class ships.

Do they still server Mimosa's and Bellini's ? 

How about afternoon tea?  We attended a couple of those but have not seen/heard of them outside of the Retreat/Michael's Lounge lately.

Didn't know that.  

 

Coffee in the Eden Cafe was good, though.  Food there was good, too.  It was my go to!

Does anyone know if you can get cereal eg muesli flakes for breakfast at the Elite serving ?

 

The only thing available are listed on the Menu.   Specialty Coffee's with flavoring are generally not available.    Remember it's a pre-plated venue and would be difficult for them to customized.
