MADflyer Posted June 12, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) A new a la carte venue appears on the updated RCI 'Dining Options by Ship' chart, the Kung-Fu Panda Noodle shop. This venue is shown existing or coming to all Oasis, Freedom and Voyager Class ships. Is this a new venue? Has anyone heard or experienced this venue? http://www.royalcaribbean.com/statichtmlpage.do?pagename=brochure_dining_guide_options It appears you have to go forward one page from that link.

MADflyer Posted June 12, 2015 Author #2 Share Posted June 12, 2015 They have also added Kung Fu Panda Noodle Shop to Majesty. So, it appears to be present on all ships that also have a Johnny Rockets except Anthem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecruisin Posted June 12, 2015 #3 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I'd love to know more about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfcathorse Posted June 12, 2015 #4 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I knew they were adding a Noodle shop on Quantum as an Izumi wouldn't fly in China but I had not heard they were adding it to more ships. And on Majesty, the Compass Deli at night is Cocina's Cantina, it was excellent so I hope they didn't stop that and put in the noodle shop instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare steamboats Posted June 12, 2015 #5 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I doubt they would add it on the Majesty as she´s leaving the fleet. Funny thing is, that Kung-Fu Panda noodle shop is showing up in this interactive list but not when you click on pdf. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISEBOY305 Posted June 12, 2015 #6 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Kung Fu Noodle has been added to Quantum. I have not heard of it being added to any other ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am wondering if it is just some sort of 'kiosk' venue that could be added to an existing venue or only offer 'to go' offerings. It does show the single $ symbol, indicating lower cost a la carte and is in the company of Ben and Jerry's, Cups and Scoops, the Ice Cream Parlor, Johnny Rockets, Michaels Genuine Pub, Rita's Cantina and Starbucks.

CRUISEBOY305 Posted June 12, 2015 #8 Share Posted June 12, 2015 it is possible that it will be added to other ships but Majesty??? Doubt that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigar King Posted June 12, 2015 #9 Share Posted June 12, 2015 This seems like a nice addition. I'm looking forward to giving it a whirl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADflyer Posted June 12, 2015 Author #10 Share Posted June 12, 2015 it is possible that it will be added to other ships but Majesty??? Doubt that. I would not see it as a high cost addition. It would seem noodles would be very high profit margin even at a minimal cost. While Majesty does leave RCI and it would be odd to add new venues at this point, she does transfer to RCL owned Pullmantur and even the recent dry dock only benefits them in the long run. Here you can see how the just kept the Schooner Bar and changed the name to the 'Bar Fragata' (Frigate Bar) https://www.pullmantur.es/barco/monarch/bares-y-restaurantes/bar-fragata.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knots4crewzing Posted June 12, 2015 #13 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Sounds Great!! Nice new addition. Hope the Freedom will have it in October. Or at least the Anthem in June of 2016. Looking forward to trying this new venue:D Liz:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken at the beach Posted June 12, 2015 #15 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Interesting that the venues available now show Jewel! Grandeur and explorer as not having the coke Freestyle machines. They also do not have a $ sign beside them. Harmony us also listed as having all 4 DD restaurants and not just the 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merion_Mom Posted June 13, 2015 #19 Share Posted June 13, 2015 The venue that Kung Fu Panda Noodle Shop is replacing on the Quantum of the Seas is Johnny Rockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct about Harmony not having Silk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen of Oakville Posted June 15, 2015 #21 Share Posted June 15, 2015 The PDF version has not been updated with Ovation or Harmony as well.

I noticed the $ symbol too. Not a fan of this. I love the idea of a noodle restaurant - but you'd think they could include it in the included fare. I recall there being a noodle station on Carnival dream - you picked your noodles, veggies, proteins, and they stir-fried it all for you. It's no different than the pasta stations they have on most ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denatravels Posted August 14, 2015 #22 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Can anyone update on this if it has been seen anywhere other than on Quantum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted August 14, 2015 #23 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Can anyone update on this if it has been seen anywhere other than on Quantum? No one has reported any Noodle Sightings. :D But at least we can update this thread to say: Majesty is NOT leaving the fleet! ;) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisingpluto Posted August 26, 2015 #25 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) does anyone have a link to the menu? curious to see what's on it. i'm not sure if i'd pay for this, but it looks like it would be a nice option to have. hopefully they'll expand to some other ships.
