 I don't want a hamburger or hot dog when I go somewhere, especially on a cruise.  I want real food on a plate that has a meat, starch and vegetable.

I didn't get a response the way I posted my question in a previous thread so trying this way.

Can you hear movies on 9th deck forward hump balcony?  or any other noise from pool deck?

thanks!

Depends on your hearing!🤔

Even if they were dripping in grease, you’d be able to remove most of it.  Their burgers sometimes seem as if they are boiled and are wet in what looks like gray water.  Hot dogs seem to be a better bet than the burgers.  Curious to checkout the hot dog place to see if it’s better,  yet their hours seem rather limited.  My only disappointment with the WJ is purely personal, and that is there seem to be quite a bit of curry and Indian dishes (which I’m not a fan of), but there is usually a rather good selection where I can find a few options that I like.  Kids love the cookies at WJ in the evening, though.  

Thanks!👍

If at all possible we will stick with the MDR - dinner in the WJ is just not what we would like!👎

Just the site of the melting mushy ice-cream and the line at the crepe - station and people working on their laptops or reading books....is turning me off enough - to leave that place - before I even looked at the mushed up foods....😱🙄🤢

Never actually gotten a cold burger, but ones that are dripping wet, yes.

 For a family of five living in Colorado, we have to fly to any cruise port, and pay for a few nights in a hotel.  Along with spending money, etc, that tends to push a single cruise vacation upwards of $6K on the low end.

Totally awesome - you can even manage to do it!👍👌

and simply doesn’t seem to be much of an upscale experience as it once was.

Totally Agree! 👍

We are still not ready so settle for self-serve cold burgers from a buffet.....!🙄😱

We are the type of people that go on a cruise every few years, so our time is better spent exploring the ship and it’s activities.  

Guess we cruise way tooo much....!🙄

I have waited 45 minutes for the waiter to take my order.🙄

If you want/ need fast service - grab the Maitre at the entrance and let them know you need to be out within 1 hour - works all the time!👍😎

It's been a problem that Royal has long known about, yet they keeping selling itineraries that can't be kept, then modifying them closer to sail date and after payment   has been made. Some might call that a shady business practice.

+1 🙄👍

WJ is great for those times when you want a quicker dinner experience.

Sure is faster - when you are in a hurry!👍

MDR needs a 45 minutes minimum....🤔

I then pull out the laptop and get some work done.  Last cruise there were a few of us catching up on work in the evening.  We sort of formed our our evening group.

What a nice "dinner" atmosphere!🙄😱

Here is your previous post.....you appear to be implying that you are more sophisticated than others.  That’s the issue, not that YOU enjoy a more upscale setting than others might. Your post was insulting and condescending.

Just stating a fact!👍

You are just assuming and implying and trying to twist my post the way you want.....🤔🙄

Waterproof and you can take it off - it is kind of a rubber band .....👍

Now, take someone who lives in a more rural area that doesn’t have that type of restaurant available to them.  Their local options may simply be fast food, or family owned sit down restaurants, and that is what they are accustomed to.  Windjammer may very well be what they enjoy, and that’s fine.

Absolutely!👍

You might want to re-read what I wrote earlier.....to us it is not what we would call a dinner!👍

Sometimes we like to eat a meal at fast-food buffets too - when we travel.....🤘

John?🤔

I'm sorry you've had a bad experience

Not bad - it is just not what I would call a "dinner" - it is lukewarm fast food on self-serve plastic plates - about 80% is the  same as lunch....👎😱🤢

Hell if the food is good I'll eat it off a paper plate using a spork and drink my beer straight from the bottle! 

Yeah some people.....!🙄

Me thinks it is also a cultural thing - some cultures are more sophisticated than others!🤔👍

Agree, and indeed those are definitely NOT plastic utensils.  Me thinks that poster has never eaten in the WJ, which does not qualify for an opinion.  😉 

Where did I say plastic utensils?🤔🙄

I have never seen plastic plates in the WJ

OK - so you do not know the difference....that explains it!🙄

Real plates

Seriously doubt that! 🙄🤔

cruise to cruise things will change.

Not really..... it will always be a buffet not much different from lunch and plastic plates... 🙄😱

We have heard so many positive comments about dinner in the WJ we tried it one night on Anthem.  It was a terrible experience for us - crowded and poor selection and quality of food.  That doesn't mean we won't try it again - but never on Anthem!

Well it depends on who recommended it - if  those people are totally thrilled when they see the soggy Burgers and Pizza and French fries - of course they will recommend the WJ and prefer it to the MDR! 🙄👎

What can we expect?

To us it is on the same level as Burger King - plastic plates and cups no set tables.....just not what we expect and want for dinner ( set aside the awful and cold food ) - a no go zone for dinner!👎😱
