Back to the Scandic--breakfast is included when you use points. At least it was when we stayed there summer before last. They had a huge buffet that was typically Scandinavian--breads, cheese, cold meats, fruit etc. I think they also had eggs, and some other hot items, but don't remember for sure. The rooms in the hotel were efficient (read "kind of small") but nicely furnished and clean. The service was great and the food was good--it's a great place to stay pre or post cruise.
