Fancy a leisurely breakfast in your cabin? Craving a late night snack? This useful guide to the Celebrity Cruises room service menu has everything you need to know to make the most of this service on your next cruise.
When is room service available on Celebrity Cruises?
Celebrity Cruises offers room service for a good proportion of the day so there is almost always something available. It’s worth noting that certain items are only available at particular times:
- Breakfast 6.00am – 9.30am
- In-room dining 11.00am – 5.00am
Be aware that some room service comes with a charge. Let’s take a look at what is included. We also need to see what parts of the room service menu have a fee.
Is room service free on Celebrity Cruises?
Room service Continental breakfast is still included in your cruise fare. Use the breakfast door hanger supplied in your cabin to order this. Just remember to hang it outside your cabin door before 2.00am to guarantee delivery.
Room service Premium Breakfast and in-room dining items are not free on Celebrity Cruises. There is a $9.95 service fee + 18% gratuity. This is charged per room service delivery (not per item). Passengers in Retreat suites and Zenith-level Captain’s Club members have this fee waived.
How do you order room service on Celebrity Cruises?
Breakfast can be ordered by filling out the order card in your cabin the night before. You just need to hang it on your door before you go to bed (before 2.00am).
To order room service at any other time, you can use the telephone in your cabin by dialling 51. Retreat suite guests can also contact their butler with butlers to order room service.

You can choose a specific 30 minute slot for your breakfast to be delivered starting at 6.00am and finishing at 9.30am.
Even though this is a complimentary room service option, we would always recommend tipping a few dollars to the crew member who delivers.
In our opinion, this is a reasonable selection of continental breakfast options. It is a good option if you need a quick and simple breakfast early. This can be convenient before heading off on an excursion.

If you want to enjoy a cooked breakfast in your cabin, you can order the Premium Breakfast. You can also have it on your balcony.

Suite guests have a slightly expanded breakfast menu but it is minimal. Overall feedback from passengers staying in suites onboard is very positive regarding the breakfast.
If you are not staying in a suite and don’t want to pay extra for a cooked breakfast, you certainly have a few options on board the cruise ship.
We particularly enjoyed the cooked breakfast served in the dining room and the Oceanview Cafe (buffet). You can also get cooked breakfast items at the Eden Cafe on Edge-class ships.

Conclusion
We thought the menu was small in comparison to other cruise lines like Princess Cruises and P&O Cruises. It’s certainly an option if you really want something to eat in your cabin but we generally opted to grab something from the Oceanview Cafe and take it to our cabin instead.
The kids menu section is a thoughtful touch and there’s nothing stopping adults ordering from this menu too.
Interestingly, this room service menu was complimentary before 2023 and it doesn’t appear to have been enhanced after the service fee was introduced.
The room service menu is an option. You can use it if you need food and can’t leave your cabin. It’s also available when you can’t be bothered to leave.
We found plenty of better options in the complimentary dining venues on our cruise. These options satisfied us with a wider selection at no extra cost. Personally, we would only consider ordering the Premium Breakfast for a special treat to enjoy on our balcony.
