P&O Cruises Room Service Breakfast Menu: What You Can Order to Your Cabin
Breakfast in bed is one of the easiest dining options available on P&O Cruises. Instead of heading to the buffet or one of the ship’s restaurants first thing in the morning, passengers can order a Continental breakfast to their cabin by completing the room service breakfast card the night before.
The photographed P&O Cruises breakfast menu includes fruit juices, a smoothie, yoghurt, fruit, cereals and pastries, with delivery windows running from 7:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. P&O Cruises currently confirms that Continental room service breakfast is included in the price of the holiday, although a delivery charge applies aboard Arvia and Iona.

How P&O Cruises Room Service Breakfast Works
The breakfast card makes ordering relatively simple. Passengers choose the quantity of each item they would like, select a delivery window and complete their cabin information.
The completed card needs to be hung outside the cabin before 10:00 p.m. the night before.
The card asks for:
• Number of people
• Cabin number
• Morning date
• Name
• Signature
• Preferred delivery time
• Quantity of each requested breakfast item
This can be particularly convenient before a morning shore excursion or on a sea day when you would rather have a slower start without immediately heading to one of the ship’s restaurants.
P&O Cruises Room Service Breakfast Times
The photographed order card provides eight 30-minute delivery windows:
• 7:00 – 7:30 a.m.
• 7:30 – 8:00 a.m.
• 8:00 – 8:30 a.m.
• 8:30 – 9:00 a.m.
• 9:00 – 9:30 a.m.
• 9:30 – 10:00 a.m.
• 10:00 – 10:30 a.m.
• 10:30 – 11:00 a.m.
P&O Cruises’ published room service menu likewise lists breakfast as available between 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. and notes that the breakfast service is not available on disembarkation day.
Fruit Juices and Smoothie
The breakfast menu includes several cold drinks:
• Orange Juice
• Apple Juice
• Pineapple Juice
• Smoothie of the Day
This section is marked vegetarian and gluten-free on the order card.
The Smoothie of the Day will naturally depend on what is being offered, and the photographed card does not specify a particular flavour.
Yoghurt
Three yoghurt choices are listed:
• Natural
• Fruit
• Soya
Natural and soya are marked vegetarian on the menu, while the yoghurt section itself is marked gluten-free.
Fresh Fruit
For a lighter breakfast, two fruit options are available:
• Grapefruit Segments
• Fruit Salad
Both are identified as vegetarian and gluten-free.
Cereals
The P&O Cruises room service breakfast card offers a fairly broad cereal selection:
• Cornflakes
• Rice Krispies
• Alpen
• All Bran
• Weetabix
• Granola
The cereal section is marked vegetarian.
Pastries and Bakery Items
The bakery section includes four pastries and muffins:
• Croissant
• Pain au Chocolat
• Blueberry Muffin
• Double Chocolate Muffin
The menu also provides the following accompaniments:
• Butter
• Strawberry Jam
• Raspberry Jam
• Honey
The bakery section is marked vegetarian.
Is P&O Cruises Room Service Breakfast Free?
P&O Cruises currently states that its Continental room service breakfast is included in the price of the cruise.
There is, however, an important exception involving delivery charges.
The photographed breakfast card specifically states:
“A delivery charge of £2.50 applies on board Arvia and Iona.”
P&O Cruises’ current room service information also confirms that a delivery charge applies aboard Arvia and Iona, although its public webpage does not specify the amount. The £2.50 figure comes directly from the photographed P&O breakfast card.
That distinction is useful when comparing ships: the Continental breakfast itself is included, but passengers aboard Arvia and Iona should account for the separate delivery charge shown on this menu.
Which P&O Cruises Ships Offer Room Service?
P&O Cruises currently lists room service as available across all of its ships:
• Arvia
• Iona
• Britannia
• Azura
• Ventura
• Aurora
• Arcadia
The cruise line describes room service as an option for breakfast as well as meals, desserts, snacks and drinks throughout the day and night.
Menus, individual items and charges can change, so the photographed breakfast card should be treated as an example of the P&O Cruises room service breakfast offering rather than a guarantee that every future sailing will have an identical menu.
P&O Room Service Beyond Breakfast
Breakfast is only one part of P&O Cruises’ room service offering.
P&O Cruises states that room service is available 24 hours a day for light bites and meals. Its published room service menu includes daytime and late-night options in addition to breakfast.
Unlike the Continental breakfast, additional charges generally apply to other room service items.
For passengers deciding between room service and the ship’s restaurants, breakfast is therefore a particularly appealing time to order because the Continental selection itself is included in the cruise fare.
Is Room Service Breakfast Worth Ordering?
The menu is firmly focused on a Continental breakfast rather than a cooked breakfast. There are no eggs, bacon, sausages or other hot breakfast dishes shown on this order card.
Instead, the choices revolve around pastries, cereal, yoghurt, fruit, juice and smoothies.
That makes it particularly useful when:
• You have an early shore excursion
• You want breakfast while getting ready in your cabin
• You prefer a light breakfast
• You want to avoid a busy buffet
• You want to enjoy breakfast on your balcony
• You simply want a slower morning
If you want a more substantial cooked breakfast, P&O Cruises offers breakfast elsewhere onboard, with the exact restaurants depending on the ship.
Room Service Breakfast on Arvia and Iona
Arvia and Iona deserve special mention because they are specifically named on the photographed order card.
The menu states that a £2.50 delivery charge applies aboard these two ships.
P&O Cruises’ current dining information for Arvia also describes breakfast in bed as an included breakfast option, while separately confirming that a delivery charge applies to room service on Arvia and Iona.
The practical takeaway is simple: the Continental breakfast food is included, but the delivery itself carries the charge shown on this order card when sailing aboard Arvia or Iona.
Dietary Markings on the Breakfast Menu
The photographed P&O Cruises room service breakfast menu uses dietary symbols to identify vegetarian and gluten-free choices.
The card marks:
• Fruit Juices & Smoothie – vegetarian and gluten-free
• Yoghurt – gluten-free, with Natural and Soya individually marked vegetarian
• Fruit – vegetarian and gluten-free
• Cereals – vegetarian
• From the Bakery – vegetarian
Passengers with allergies or medically necessary dietary restrictions should still discuss their requirements with P&O Cruises rather than relying solely on menu symbols.
Tips for Ordering P&O Cruises Breakfast in Bed
A little preparation can make room service breakfast particularly convenient.
• Complete the card before going to bed.
• Hang it outside your cabin before 10:00 p.m.
• Write the quantity you want beside each item.
• Select one of the available 30-minute delivery windows.
• Remember to enter your cabin number and morning date.
• Sign the order card before putting it outside.
• If you have an early shore excursion, choose a delivery window that leaves enough time to eat and get ready.
• Remember that the published breakfast service is not available on disembarkation morning.
• On Arvia and Iona, account for the delivery charge shown on the card.
