Club Orange Breakfast Hours?

[POA1]

Can anyone who has been on a recent Pinnacle Class sailing (Koningsdam, Nieuw Statendam, or Rotterdam) with Club Orange tell me what the breakfast hours were in the CO restaurant?

 

(See, I care about more than the most excellent tote bag.)

As I recall, they are the same as the Main Dining Room, thus they vary from Sea to Port days.  Cannot remember the exact times, but perhaps you can get this from Crew News' website.

Port Days:  7:30am - 9:00am

Sea Days:  8:00am - 9:30am

 

Another reason to love sea days; you can sleep in!

Both breakfast and dinner hours are same as MDR.  A few passengers  will be at the door every morning waiting for the doors open.

Our crack panel of experts have voted this the #1 answer. A round of applause has erupted from the peanut gallery.

Just off the Rotterdam. 

 

Hours are as posted.  We were treated though on a couple of sea days.  When Edgar saw there were a number of us waiting for breakfast he opened CO early - around 10 minutes early which was very nice, I thought. 

 

we weren’t early risers, really.  the clocks went back a few times on our cruise and eventually, you just get up earlier 😉

If only I could have CO members could access an earlier time in the fitness center.

Earlier than 6am? Why? Why not Neptune Suite pax, for example?

Neptune suite passengers are Club Orange by default. (Only without the tote bag, leaving their lives hollow and meaningless.)

My point was why earlier, and why CO. I am very aware Club Orange offers some Neptune Suite benefits.

Nope - Neptune Suites get the CO tote bag.  At least I did last November in what will most likely be my last Neptune Suite.

Edgar is still on Rotterdam?  He was great when we cruised Norway in July.  I hope he is still on the Rotterdam in 49 more days.   He does a great job.

He’s on until November - not sure of the date there.  They extended his contract which he was happy about as it means he will be home with his family for Christmas.

He was very good and a lovely gentleman

Does the CO Dining Room ever do lunch on sea days?

Never, on the 3 ships we were on.

That's excellent! I'm glad that you have the tote bag and the inner wellspring of joy that it brings.

I'd love a 10:00 time for sea days.  Especially since they don't do lunch.   We could sleep in another half hour.

I have always gotten.a tote on all of my Neptune sailings (except 1 night cruises). I have a collection of them and use them to take lunch to work every day. My life would be empty without them, and I would not have lunch 5 days a week!

Perhaps there is someplace on the ship to get a later breakfast type of meal after 9:00 or 9:30 on the mornings you wish to sleep in. I would think they don't serve after those times in order to give the hard working staff a short break period before they have to report to another venue for lunchtime. I would see the CO hostess in the buffet at lunch. On sea days some of the CO team is probably assigned to the dining room. They work such long hours, they deserve a break.

Lido is open for breakfast past 9:30 AM.  Also open earlier - 6:30 AM IIRC from my recent cruise.
