Staterooms

On some ships we get a 4 page newspaper delivered to our stateroom. We've missed that on our last few cruises.

that is a nice touch..

A better breakfast menu for room service. More traditional breakfast (eggs, bacon, etc,etc) instead of just fruit and cereal and pastries.

Great door that you just opened. The room service menu on the Mercury was extremely limited. Pretty much all you could get after lunch was salads and sandwiches. So, in addition to an extended breakfast menu, I'd like to add extended dinner options (at least one poultry option, one fish option, one meat option and/or one vegetarian option).

Opps, forgot to add before I hit "send"

Celebrity sent me an email over the weekend asking me about my last cruise and zeroed in on things they could have done to improve the cruise. The very first question was, "What would you like to have had in your stateroom that wasn't there?"

I'm puzzled by the responses regarding room service. All of the lines I've been on, other than the river cruise, offered a full dining room menu while the dining room was open. With one exception, a dinner served course by course, we've never had room service for a meal other than breakfast, and it was always a hot breakfast. Is that unusual? We have had room service snacks, and there the menu was limited.

We agree with the idea of a clock with larger numbers than the tiny ones on the DVD player. I also think a night light would be good. As for a coffee machine, I think that cruise lines would regard it as a fire hazard. (Not that it's important to me, since I haven't had a morning cup of coffee in many, many years. I'm a tea drinker.)

I'm sorry that I didn't think to save the Room Service menu from our Hawaii trip. Breakfast options were pastries, breads, juice, coffee, tea, milk. Other options were salads and sandwiches. No main entrees and no snacky type stuff. I think there were a couple of desserts. That was all I recall. I actually remember telling Jerry how surprised I was as to how limited the menu was.

I agree. Back in the day, we use to order bacon and eggs and toast and make a sandwich out of it and take it with us on our early morning excursions because we knew we'd miss breakfast. Not on this cruise. If you wanted breakfast food, you had to get it at the buffet or in the main dining room.

All you folks craving coffee should sail on NCL. The new ships all have coffee makers in the stateroom and supply coffee bags each day. I've had them on Star, Pride of America, and Pearl.
