Food--Food--Food

[Girls Scout Leader]

In addition to the main dining rooms, and during the day, what are the options for breakfast and lunch? I read some about Plutos, Scoops, etc, but are they extra $$ ?

None of the other food options are any extra money. All the food is included, even 24 hour a day room service. Cookies and milk in the afternoon delivered to your room is wonderful!!!! And yes, you can have that tuna sandwich at 3:00 am if you so choose!!!!

Just remember to tip the room service deliverer..we ususally tip 2 bucks.

Topsiders on the Magic, Beach Blanket Buffet on the Wonder both service buffet breakfast and lunch.

Pluto, Pinocchios, etc. are very good. The chicken fingers are delicious!!!!

Hope that helped answer some questions.

You can have a sit-down breakfast at Lumiers, or a buffet style breakfast at Topsiders and there's always room service.

For Lunch, there's Pluto's (burgers and dogs), Pinnochio's (pizza); soft serve ice-cream and scoops. Also you can do a sit-down lunch at Lumiers.

The only extra dollars is soda or alchohol and pre-packaged snacks. Soda at the sit down meals is free though.

You will find out which dining rotation you have when you get your Key to the World card. Your dining rotation affects your schedule for two non-dinner meals... your Character Breakfast and your Disembarkation Day breakfast. More about that later.

The rest of the week, you have multiple choices for breakfast and lunch:

<b>Breakfast:</b>
<nl><li>Lumière’s is open every morning with a table service menu
<li>Topsiders is open every morning with a breakfast buffet
<li>Parrot Cay is open on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday mornings (port days) with a breakfast buffet
<li>Pluto’s has a continental breakfast selection on Sunday and Monday mornings</nl>

All of these breakfast options are open seating. Just show up whenever you're ready. (Check your Navigator for what hours each particular restaurant is available.)

<b>Character Breakfast:</b>
Your head server will give you tickets to a Character Breakfast. He will usually distribute these tickets at the end of dinner on Saturday night. Your tickets will be for your assigned table and an assigned seating:

<nl><li>If you have early dinner seating, your Character Breakfast will be at 8:15am.
<li>If you have late dinner seating, your Character Breakfast will be at 9:45am.</nl>

Your Character Breakfast will be on your first "sea day" after your first dinner in Animator's Palate. Thus:

<nl><li>If you have the APLAPLA rotation, your Character Breakfast will be on Sunday morning.
<li>If you have the LAPLAPL rotation, your Character Breakfast will be on Monday morning.
<li>If you have the PLAPLAP rotation, your Character Breakfast will be on Thursday morning.</nl>

<b>Breakfast on Disembarkation Day:</b>
There are assigned seatings and restaurants for breakfast on the day you leave the ship:

<nl><li>If you have early dinner seating, your breakfast will be at 6:45am.
<li>If you have late dinner seating, your breakfast will be at 8:00am.</nl>

<nl><li>If you have the APLAPLA rotation, your breakfast will be in Animator's Palate.
<li>If you have the LAPLAPL rotation, your breakfast will be in Lumière’s.
<li>If you have the PLAPLAP rotation, your breakfast will be in Parrot Cay.</nl>

You also have the option of eating at Topsiders on Disembarkation Day, but they will only be serving a Continental breakfast.

<b>Lunch:</b>
<nl><li>Lumière’s is open every day except Friday (Castaway Cay day) with a table service menu.
<li>Topsiders is open with a buffet every day except Friday (Castaway Cay day).
<li>Parrot Cay is open with a buffet on Sunday, Monday and Thursday (sea days).
<li>Cookie's Barbeque (on Castaway Cay) serves lunch on the day the ship is in Castaway Cay.
<li>Parrot Cay is the only onboard restaurant open for lunch on Castaway Cay day. The Cookie's Barbeque selection is also available at Parrot Cay
<li>Pinocchio's and Pluto's offers fast-food items.</nl>

Note that there is a decent variety for lunch. The buffet restaurants have different themes on various days (e.g. Italian, Seafood, Asian...). Lumière’s also has a different menu for each day it is open for lunch.

All of these lunch options are open seating. Just show up whenever you're ready. (Check your Navigator for what hours each particular restaurant is available.)

These guidelines specifically refer to the 7-day Eastern Caribbean itinerary, but they generally apply to the Bahamas cruises as well. A clear exception: there are no Character Breakfasts on the Bahamas cruises.
