dh464 Posted September 2, 2015 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2015 So where does everyone like to eat their first meal on the breeze and what do you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2excursion Posted September 2, 2015 #2 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Definitely the pasta bar in the Cucina del Capitano spot, one deck above the aft buffet. It's free for lunch. As the cruise goes on, more & more people will find out about it, and it'll get busier. On a checklist that they hand you, you choose your pasta, your sauce, & whatever you want included in it.

CocoCandy Posted September 2, 2015 #3 Share Posted September 2, 2015 So where does everyone like to eat their first meal on the breeze and what do you get. I had beef kabobs, raita ( yogurt sauce), basmati rice, tandoori chicken, and some lentil curry ( daal) with freshly baked naan bread from the Indian Tandoor Grill on Lido. It was fantastic and satisfied a craving I had for months for good Indian food, which is hard to come by in South Florida. I am shocked more people don't eat at Tandoor Grill because it is so delicious! I also enjoyed a slice of cheesecake and a slice of lemon meringue pie from the dessert station on Lido, both excellent :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhslb46 Posted September 2, 2015 #4 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I find the first day is usually the best time to get the wok. After the first day, the lines and wait times are way too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTravelista Posted September 2, 2015 #5 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Agree with the Mongolian Wok and Tandoor. My faves. Those are first. Then a few hours later I'll get a Guy's Burger lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PortSideCruzan Posted September 2, 2015 #6 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Hi Dh464 :) On embarkation day aboard the Breeze my wife & I like to enjoy the complementary Captain's Pasta Bar at the Cucina del Capitano Italian restaurant, YUM! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banks822 Posted September 2, 2015 #7 Share Posted September 2, 2015 My DH always gets his favorite, Guy's burger, and I get a shrimp burrito then we meet at a table somewhere by a window. But, I do agree with some others here. The pasta bar is great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise-Crazy Posted September 2, 2015 #8 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Guy's Burgers. Just my traditional cheeseburger when I first board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ObstructedView2 Posted September 2, 2015 #10 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Another vote here for Cucina del Capitano! After all of the time planning a cruise & the money invested, I'm not in such a hurry to run directly for a burger & pickles once I board. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okgirl Posted September 2, 2015 #11 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Hi Dh464 :) On embarkation day aboard the Breeze my wife & I like to enjoy the complementary Captain's Pasta Bar at the Cucina del Capitano Italian restaurant, YUM! :) I agree with this, but take it a step further by stopping by the toppings bar at Guy's and get a small bowl of bacon crumbles to transform my pasta into something similar to carbonara.

Froufie Posted September 2, 2015 #12 Share Posted September 2, 2015 If you are looking for a quiet/less crowded environment I would also recommend the Cucina pasta bar - was virtually empty when I stopped by there on the 1st day (and very crowded towards the end of the cruise!)

stargate fan Posted September 2, 2015 #13 Share Posted September 2, 2015 So where does everyone like to eat their first meal on the breeze and what do you get. That's an easy one-Tandoor. In fact, I eat Tandoor for lunch every day. I wish it was available on every ship. Maybe it's more special because it isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dallas52 Posted September 2, 2015 #17 Share Posted September 2, 2015 pasta bar because it will draw a crowd later in the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted September 2, 2015 #18 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Tandori, then Pasta Bar. Both relatively un crowded. Or for the Tandori, outside seating. But I seem to recall that the RF Pub on Deck 5 (not the bar on the Lido) also had food available on sailaway days. Extra charge for food but aside of the first 2-3 people rushing to get that first pour, it would be very uncrowded and straight aft from the atrium entrance when everyone else is scrambling for the elevators. I don't think the Bonsai around the corner is open until closer to dinner time, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeneyedancr89139 Posted September 2, 2015 #19 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I haven't been on the breeze yet but we board on Sunday! I have already told my husband I am going to Blue Iguana but after hearing about the pasta bar I might have to have a 2nd lunch there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k2excursion Posted September 3, 2015 #25 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) I guess we will be hitting the pasta bar or Mongolian Wok! Maybe 2 lunches that day Probably a good plan. Those 2 places are very underrated & under-publicized. But they are so excellent, that they get busier as the cruise goes on. If you don't do 2 lunches, visit the other one on Day 2. On the other hand, Guys burgers & Blue Iguana cantina are very overhyped, & they sit as a front & center attraction. They are still good, but not excellent, so once people have had 1 or 2, many people are pretty much done with those for the cruise. There are some people that will eat nothing but those burgers & burritos for the entire cruise, but that's not typical. That means that Guys & the cantina will get less busy as the cruise goes on. That was my experience on the Breeze. Crazy long lines the first 2 days, stretching all the way to the Red Frog & Blue Iguana bars, & even wrapping around. Then, almost no line ever for the rest of the cruise. The cantina offers more variety than many people realize, so be sure to return there & try some other things. And, they are open for some very good breakfast burritos. Edited September 3, 2015 by k2excursion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
