How quick is room service?

[tukkerlove]

We are going on our 2nd Disney cruise in a few weeks- I'd like to give room service a try this go around but am wondering how quick the service is? the cookies & milk before bedtime sounds like a nice treat, but is it generally delivered quickly or do we have a half hour or so wait for it to arrive? Just trying to gauge what to expect.

It really depends - sometimes it's been as fast as 10 minutes and sometimes it's taken as long as 45 minutes.

Before bed, if you order 20 minutes before you want it, you should be fine (unless there's an unusal number of orders that night).

If you want room service after coming back from an excursion (when everyone else probably has the same idea and wait times can be 45 mins!), what I've done is order the moment we get to the room, then shower and change and by the time I'm feeling human again (sand and salt washed off, clean, dry clothes on and nice and calm and cool), room service is at the door.

We often had room service in about 10 minutes. One night we ordered during dinner time and it was about 25 minutes, but we also ordered full meals. Before bed time shouldn't be too long, but as the previous poster said when the entire ship is coming back from excursions it may take a few more minutes. Overall, I found room service to be very quick.

I agree with both PP, but you can also order from the menu sheet and have it delivered at a certain time. That way you can do it at a certain time of day and then specify the time you want.

We've had terrible lunch lately. Like two hours and have to call and check up. More than once

I've ordered either cookies or drinks from Room Service on our last cruise (5/4 Fantasy). All orders arrived within 5-10 minutes. This was either early in the morning or later in the evening (never during a meal time).

The only time we thought to order room service was after the pirate buffet around 1:30. You would think most people would have been STUFFED eating that late. We missed the buffet, won't do that next time. We were looking for pizza at 1am and everything but room service was shut down.

Evidently we weren't the only ones that missed it. When we called for a hotdog etc, they said it would be over 45 min wait.

We said No Thanks and went to bed.
