We are huge fans of room service breakfast. I find the Windjammer so stressful in the mornings, so we avoid the chaos and split our cruise breakfast between the cafe promenade, the main dining room (when open) and room service. And today, I am bringing you our Guide To Room Service On Royal Caribbean; it’s not something we have always made use of. That is until we did our first room service breakfast. However, travelling with teens and young adults makes a big difference; if you have one at home, you will know they eat loads.

Guide To Room Service On Royal Caribbean

Enjoying breakfast on your own balcony is so relaxing, it allows you to take in the scenic views of the ocean waves passing by or docking in a new port. Its also great during peak breakfast times, cruise ship dining areas can become crowded. Room service provides an alternative as we prefer a quieter and more secluded environment, avoiding the hustle and bustle of busy dining venues.

We thought we would share our experiences of the ins and outs. What’s free and what isn’t with Royal Caribbean Room Service so you don’t get any nasty surprises. Because all I want to do on holiday is chill and not worry about the details.

Is Room Service Free On Royal Caribbean?

Yes, room service is free at breakfast time for continental breakfast. The rest of the time, or if you order a cooked breakfast, you pay a tray charge of $7.95. This, in my opinion, is worth every penny. However its great that, Royal Caribbean has maintained the free continental breakfast room service.

Perfect for if you have an early start or just want a lazy morning chilling in your cabin, which we often do. To make use of breakfast room service, you simply fill in the room service card and hang it on your door the night before.

Continental breakfast is complimentary. All other orders have a $7.95 service charge plus 18% gratuity. The service charge is per order and not per item or meal on the menu. This makes it a pretty inexpensive snack if you are ordering lunch for your whole cabin.

Room Service Hours

Room service is available for guests around the clock on Royal Caribbean with the exception of the first day of your cruise, when room service is available from 5.00 pm, and the final evening, when service ends at 12 am.

However, do check your particular sailing as these start and finish times can vary from ship to ship. But the rule of thumb is never to go hungry whilst in your cabin.

Room Service Breakfast runs from 6am-11am and the All Day Menu from 11am-6am.

This was from our recent cruise. However, I have just checked the menus for our next sailing in May 2026, and it is exactly the same as it was on our May cruise last year. Any drinks ordered via room service are subject to a charge plus a 18% gratuity.

Tea And Coffee Is Included in Room Service Breakfast

Coffee and tea is free at breakfast time on room service. It’s also served in all the restaurants, and Windjammer where you have a choice of free tea and coffee or can pay extra in the restaurants for speciality coffees.

The cafe promenade (and Café @ Two70 if the ship has one) are the best places to head for free tea and coffee. It’s also an idea to take a flask mug; then you can get takeout, there are paper cups. However, I do like to pour a coffee and go for a wander, a flask mug keeps it warm.
