CruisinCadie Posted September 2, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Hoping someone out there will be able to help me with this, or maybe someone sailing to Canada/New England next week will check. We're on the Oct. 5 sailing to Canada/New England, and, as the mornings get cooler, I enjoy a bowl of nice warm oatmeal for breakfast. I also know that cafeteria oatmeal (okay, buffet) tends to get gloppy after it's set awhile. So where am I most likely to find oatmeal that's not the consistency of paste? AquaSpa? MDR? Or possibly even the buffet? Thanks, Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there seems to be a fair amount of milk added to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miched Posted September 2, 2013 #3 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I think that it depends on when it gets set out. Most of the food on the buffet will have a time limit and if it is not consumed it is removed. If it is down to the bottom it will be like paste. Best bet is to try all the different places where it is served and choose the one that suits you. Chances are it will constantly change depending on how long it has been setting. You may have the best results at the AQ cafe as the passengers that use that area tend to be after the healthier lighter foods and it will be replenished more often than the buffet because not many people at the buffet take oatmeal. .

CruisingChick Posted September 2, 2013 #4 Share Posted September 2, 2013 The oatmeal in the MDR is good. Never had a problem with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stellarose Posted September 2, 2013 #5 Share Posted September 2, 2013 The muselic ( can't spell ) was awesome. It was an oatmeal, nits, fruit mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bama4cruisin Posted September 2, 2013 #6 Share Posted September 2, 2013 The muselic ( can't spell ) was awesome. It was an oatmeal, nits, fruit mix. I know this is available in Blu. Did you find it elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Cruiser 6143 Posted September 2, 2013 #7 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I know this is available in Blu. Did you find it elsewhere? It's also available in the buffet. Same place as the oatmeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCA REP Posted September 2, 2013 #8 Share Posted September 2, 2013 So where am I most likely to find oatmeal that's not the consistency of paste? We have always had excellent oatmeal delivered by room service. Sounds like from the suggestions given so far, you should have no problem locating it!

Hendon427 Posted September 2, 2013 #9 Share Posted September 2, 2013 The Muesilli in Blu is made tableside....I love breakfast in Blu. Can't say if it is pre-prepared in the MDR since we have always sailed in Aqua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glendakayself Posted September 2, 2013 #10 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I've had oatmeal from room service, AquaSpa Cafe, and buffet. It has all been good. The buffet has a larger variety off toppings. I believe on the M-class ships the toppings were with the cereal dispensers in the buffet on our last cruise. There were some limited toppings in the AquaSpa Cafe as well. Enjoy your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always found the muesli in the buffet to be very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAT0303 Posted September 3, 2013 #13 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I had some apple cider oatmeal in the Aqua Spa Café on the Solstice a few weeks ago that was made to order. It was very nice, had chunks of apple in it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need this thread to turn into one discussing where to find hot water on the ship. The water in the cabin faucet is usually hot enough to make oatmeal.)

MEcruzr Posted September 21, 2013 #21 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I can't believe I remembered to do this... but I just got home today from my 14 night Summit cruise. I tried the oatmeal twice for you!!! First time was room service and the second time was at the buffet. All I can say is... DISGUSTING. I couldn't eat either. I added salt. I added sweetener. I added milk. I added brown sugar. I added nuts. They cook it with absolutely no salt. It's bland... like eating wallpaper paste. My mom asked me why I was eating it AGAIN after I tried it once (she saw me gag). I told her it was in the name of research... and a promise I made. LOL So... In MY HUMBLE OPINION... Summit's oatmeal isn't fit for pig swill. I saw plenty of people eating it, so YMMW. I won't try it again for anyone! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
