Rare LMaxwell Posted November 3, 2014 #26 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I can live with a la carte food prices and no gratuity considering there is no table service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADflyer Posted November 3, 2014 Author #27 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I have a beverage package and was charged $2.50 + $1.50 with an auto gratuity of $.60 for a total of $4.60 with the drink not even posted. I saved the printed receipt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charger2008 Posted November 3, 2014 #28 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Quantum of the Seas Johnny Rocket's Menu Prices I see they have also done away with their tuna sandwich and veggie burger. For those of us who don't eat meat (except for fish), this is very disappointing :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charger2008 Posted November 3, 2014 #29 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Also, part of the charm of JR on the other ships is being served, having the waiters dance, everyone saying "HELLO" and "GOODBYE" upon entering and leaving the restaurant. I know that some may think that trivial but it is what we liked about going there, along with the food, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Tyler Posted November 3, 2014 #30 Share Posted November 3, 2014 And no ketchup smiley faces either! I'd miss the sundae most of all...so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave85 Posted November 3, 2014 #31 Share Posted November 3, 2014 So you can pay $2.50 for a hot dog or go to the sea plex and get one for free? Sent from my iPhone using Forums I agree, I don't see the point now that it is no longer sit down service. There's probably some operational reason RCI had to make the change to counter service on Quantum, but I highly doubt this altered concept will be successful.

Dameon Posted November 3, 2014 #32 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Will a 15% gratuity be mandatory since it is now counter service and not table service? I won't pay a gratuity for McDonald's style service. Good point Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app C'mon, best fries are those thick steak fries you get in MDR with the sliders! There will be a wait if everything is made fresh to order, which is fine with me. Made to order food is fresh and should take a few minutes. Just being honest here but this menu isn't very distinctive from the pool side grill on Princess, Guy's on Carnival (which people rave about) or the Dive In on HAL; it may not even have as many options as Carnival and HAL; all of those lines include this type of food in their fares. Once in a while I want JR's, so we go and sit and pay for it, understanding there is a gratuity for the service. If they just hand me a burger across the bar...that's not service. In fact I think it would be the first time Royal charges a gratuity for counter service foods (or do they already for Ben and Jerrys?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharktums Posted November 3, 2014 #35 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Seems like I'm in the minority here but I kind of like this idea! The idea that we can grab something 'to go' and transport and eat it easily somewhere else is kind of cool. As others have said it's a good 'fries' option also. Bummer about breakfast though...

Steak fries can be good, but it takes an hour investment and a change of clothes to get them. ;) Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomarfan5 Posted November 4, 2014 #39 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I'm pretty disappointed with this change as we enjoy the singing and dancing and the ketchup smiley faces even though I don't use it. If they didn't have my favorite Route 66 I probably wouldn't even bother. But on the bright side I'll get my Route 66 and then head over to the Windjammer to get the fries there that I LOVE.

Stich17 Posted November 5, 2014 #43 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Disappointed with the change. It's now lost all its charm. Looking like a 50's diner, singing waiters, smilely ketchup faces etc made it an nice lunctime experience. Why would I go there now and pay? Will just grab something in the wind jammer or other place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

podgeandrodge Posted November 7, 2014 #47 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Actually the fries on the Adventure were fantastic - hot and very tasty. Hoping the same will be found on the Quantum next year. Had fries in windjammer yesterday, and rated them better than Johnny rocketts, they were fresh and hot, (note - skinny fries not thicker fries like rocketts). Also, had a great minute steak in windjammer yesterday, v.good quality for windjammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of us who don't eat meat (except for fish), this is very disappointing :( Exactly what I noticed. I'm a vegetarian and I loved the Johnny Rockets experience knowing that I could have a burger and fries along with my travelling companions. I loved JR on the Indy, if it ain't broke don't fix it! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
