Cruise Food?

Question

I only went on one cruise, and I was under the impression you could get room service, anything you wanted, 24 hours a day.

Well, I was wrong. There was pizza available 24 hours a day in the lounge, and room service was only cold sandwiches.

My question is, was it just this particular ship I was on (Carnival's Celebration Ship), or are they all pretty much like that?

Is there a cruiseline/ship that has more of a selection at 3am, or with a room service menu the same as what you would get from a restaraunt??

Good food, and food selection is VERY important to me, and I don't want to be stuck on another boat again for 7 days with mediocre food, and not too much food to choose from. My husband and I are night owls, and we like to eat good. We might go to bed early, then wake up at 1 am for drinks, then we want to eat, but we want something GOOD, not friggin pizza and lunch meat sandwiches!!

Answer 1

Most large lines have 24 hour room service, but with a limited menu.  You won't go hungry, but won't be able to get just anything you want.

Answer 2

in all honesty the days of 24 hour gourmand dinning are pretty much over on cruse ships. late night pizza and room service are about all you find now a days.

Answer 3

Of the major cruise lines, I think Princess has one of the best late night options. They have a late-night bistro on the lido deck that is open until maybe 4:00 am. You order from a menu and they prepare it. On our trip, the items included steak.

i was on royal caribbean last month.  room services was available 24hrs/day.  meals were served at certain times, and the snack areas were open until midnight. but you could eat 24 hrs a day if you wanted.
