GMomKassie Posted April 21, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Can anyone tell me about dinner in the Windjammer. We have never done dinner there but were wondering what they serve? Is it worth a try one evening? Going on Anthrm 6/11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted April 21, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Can anyone tell me about dinner in the Windjammer. We have never done dinner there but were wondering what they serve? Is it worth a try one evening? Going on Anthrm 6/11 It's actually surprisingly nice. Queter than lunch and breakfast. They serve a variety of items, different every night, with one or two entrees from the MDR menu that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tserface Posted April 21, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 21, 2016 It's actually quieter than the MDR and the food is decent. There are typically special made to order stations and special desserts. You can also eat faster because there's no waiting for courses. Everyone should at least try it once! Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehfl Posted April 21, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 21, 2016 It's very nice. Make a point to stop by and check out the selection. If you don't think you'd like it you can always eat somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramja96 Posted April 21, 2016 #7 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Shhh...Now everyone will show up ;) HAHA!! My thoughts exactly! We eat in the Windjammer almost every night. I can dress more casual and comfortable, and as others have already said, it's quieter and less crowded than the MDR. Just remember that if you end up eating there primarily during your cruise, it might be a good idea to tip your server at the end of your cruise. We always sit in the same area and get to know our server by the end of our cruise, and they are always so appreciative when we show them our gratitude for the excellent service they've given us.

bouhunter Posted April 21, 2016 #8 Share Posted April 21, 2016 One more vote for it being quiet and nice. Much more relaxing than the brightly lit and regimented atmosphere of MDR. Just our opinion:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitbull1130 Posted April 21, 2016 #9 Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) Actually we've doing 3-5 nights of specialty restaurants and the other nights in the Windjammer for the last 10 cruises. So I agree with the others Quiet and Nice the only down side is no Lobster. Edited April 21, 2016 by Pitbull1130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryano Posted April 21, 2016 #11 Share Posted April 21, 2016 We found that the WJ on Freedom had a much better variety for dinner than the MDR and the food was just as good or better. Im not sure I will go back to the MDR every night on my next RC cruise if at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaimevoyager Posted April 21, 2016 #12 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Definitely enjoy the quiet and the rapidity of having dinner without having to redress! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxoocruiser Posted April 21, 2016 #13 Share Posted April 21, 2016 When not cruising with friends I always prefer to have dinner in the Windjammer. Like the variety it offers and IMO offers more flexibility with time than even MTD. The quiet is very nice and a definite plus. Regardless of the ship I've always found that the Windjammer chef generally tries out some new items not offered on the buffet at least one night of the cruise by walking around with a tray and offering it to the dinners.

SPacificbound Posted April 22, 2016 #14 Share Posted April 22, 2016 We almost always eat at Windjammer. More selection for me (vegetarian) and we don't have to spend time waiting for courses. I eat to live, not live to eat, so definitely not a foodie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovesnow Posted April 22, 2016 #15 Share Posted April 22, 2016 What are the hours for dinner typically in the winemaker? My sister and I are doing a Mediterranean cruise in September and one of the ports is a long tour day. We most likely will be too tired to get all dressed up for dinner that night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltsnh Posted April 22, 2016 #18 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I personally like the Windjammer for dinner... very quiet, excellent service and good selection. Good alternative to the MD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldguysandgalls Posted April 22, 2016 #19 Share Posted April 22, 2016 On one of our cruises (Grandeur of the Seas) we enjoyed the Windjammer so much we had all of our meals there; breakfast, lunch and dinner. For us, it's one of the most enjoyable venues on board ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted April 22, 2016 #20 Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) We found that the WJ on Freedom had a much better variety for dinner than the MDR and the food was just as good or better. Im not sure I will go back to the MDR every night on my next RC cruise if at all. And since they don't have an Izumi on board, you get all you can eat sushi!! ;) :D We also enjoy the WJ for dinner for same reasons as others posted. Quiet, can get a seat at anytime, and much more choices. We mix it up with a few dinners in the MDR, a couple of specialty restaurants, and the rest of the dinners in the WJ. Looking forward to our first experience at CK in January on Oasis. :) Edited April 22, 2016 by island lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules815 Posted April 22, 2016 #23 Share Posted April 22, 2016 We also enjoy having dinner in the Windjammer. It's a completely different experience than going there for breakfast or lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trixie21 Posted April 22, 2016 #24 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Another vote for having dinner at least occasionally in the windjammer. We did it several times on our anthem cruise last year and we are just off ovation where we did the same. Don't miss the frying stations - chicken , pork , steak etc ready to fry to order so perfectly fresh. Quiet in the evenings and the servers are all very attentive. Certainly worth a try!

Langley Cruisers Posted April 22, 2016 #25 Share Posted April 22, 2016 The Windjammer has all you can eat sushi???? Where have I been?! Most WJ I have seen have a small, dedicated area for sushi. Not always available for lunch, but have definitely seen it every dinner. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
