What Princess room service offers
Princess Cruises offers room service around the clock on its ships, with orders placed in a few ways depending on the ship: through the OceanNow app, on the stateroom TV, or by using door-hanger cards for breakfast. Menus and policies can differ by ship and change over time, so treat this guide as a general overview and check the current menu onboard.
Is there a charge?
This is one of the most common questions. Based on what cruisers and cruise sites commonly report:
- Continental breakfast delivered with a door-hanger card is generally free.
- Other orders may carry a small per-order delivery fee. A figure of around $5 per order is frequently mentioned, but confirm the current amount.
- The fee may be waived for guests with certain packages, such as Princess Plus or Princess Premier.
- Some specialty items from particular venues, such as pizzas or items from a steakhouse, may cost extra.
Policies change, so check the current room service information on the Princess website or in the app. To compare with other lines, see which cruise lines have room service.
What is on the menu
Menus differ by ship, but typical items include:
- Breakfast: pastries, fruit, cereal, juice, and hot coffee or tea.
- Starters and salads: Caesar and Greek salads, soups, and fruit or cheese plates.
- Mains and sandwiches: burgers, hot dogs, grilled cheese, chicken tenders and quesadillas.
- Pizza and snacks: pizzas and wings on some ships.
- Desserts: cookies, cakes and puddings.
How to order
- Breakfast: fill out the door-hanger card the night before and hang it outside your door by the stated cutoff time.
- Anytime orders: use the OceanNow app, the stateroom TV or the ship’s phone number listed in your cabin.
- Tip the crew if your cruise line’s policy suggests it. Gratuities are usually handled through daily service charges, but you can ask guest services. For how cabin-crew tipping usually works, see how much to tip your room steward.
Is it worth it?
Room service is handy for early excursions, a quiet evening, or when you are unwell. If you will order often, compare the delivery fees against the cost of a package that waives them. If you only want breakfast on the balcony, the free continental option is usually enough.
