PropsR4boats Posted May 19, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Done 3 crises the last year, Ovation, Brilliance and just on Explorer now.... I've noticed a huge increase in the taste and quality of the food in the Windjammer. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted May 19, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 19, 2017 It was never that bad to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted May 19, 2017 #3 Share Posted May 19, 2017 While it can vary by ship...we usually eat most dinners in the WJ....We find it to be much quieter than the main dining room's and after many cruises with RCI it's just now where we prefer to be most evenings.

twincheryl Posted May 19, 2017 #5 Share Posted May 19, 2017 We are also on Explorer now and have eaten all meals in WJ except one dinner at Giovanni's. I always find plenty to eat. Lots of choices... many ethnic choices if one decides to venture out. Also have never seen an entire "island" devoted to gluten free foods. DH has commented that the meats have been better as well.

391hpa Posted May 19, 2017 #7 Share Posted May 19, 2017 While we've always been pleased with the food served in the Windjammer, we found the food especially good on our April cruise on the Anthem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie FF Posted May 19, 2017 #8 Share Posted May 19, 2017 On our recent B2B on Ex I did notice, and commented to DH, that the food had improved. Ex is the only ship I have been on recently that still has my favourite desert, Key Lime Pie Aussie Frequent Floaters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCC3 Posted May 19, 2017 #9 Share Posted May 19, 2017 We had never done dinner in the WJ until our January cruise. I was very surprised. The service was good and attentive. The sushi and Indian food was tasty, and the carving station was good. I enjoyed the ice cream station with toppings, as I'm not a fan of the MDR gelatin-y, soggy desserts. Overall, we really enjoyed it, and would go back. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted May 19, 2017 #10 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Desserts need improvement badly. We actually like the desserts in Windjammer better than those in the MDR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnjen Posted May 19, 2017 #12 Share Posted May 19, 2017 We have never had an issue with WJ. On Anthem last year we LOVED breakfast at WJ because of the eating outside aft...what an amazing breakfast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare vacationlover_mn Posted May 19, 2017 #13 Share Posted May 19, 2017 On HOS, we really liked the variety at breakfast :). Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed a huge increase in the taste and quality of the food in the Windjammer. Thoughts? We were on the SOS last month. The food in the windjammer was really good. The dessert were amazing.

poncho1973 Posted May 19, 2017 #15 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I find complaining about the WJ to be like going to Golden Corral and complaining it is cheap buffet food. It is what it is. Accept it and it will be fine. You go there and you know what it is. Don't pretend it is more and your needs will be met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reallyitsmema Posted May 19, 2017 #16 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Windjammer really depends on the ship. We are on allure and haven't been impressed with the wj at all. We usually go there for dinner at least half the cruise but not this cruise. We have found mdr to be much better. Radiance class has had the best wj dinners in our experience. Anthem wj wasn't too bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare skyking Posted May 19, 2017 #17 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Currently on Oasis and I could not agree more, the food in the windjammer has been great. And last night they had lobster in the windjammer as well, it was great, and the Mongolian is always good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlindog22 Posted May 19, 2017 #19 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I have not noticed that! Windjammer continues to disappoint...especially during lunch. We found on our last cruise that the menu in the Windjammer was the same everyday. It was not good at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BNBR Posted May 19, 2017 #20 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Currently on Oasis and I could not agree more, the food in the windjammer has been great. And last night they had lobster in the windjammer as well, it was great, and the Mongolian is always good. Even last year my experience on Oasis in Windjammer was similar. The quality of the food was very good for a buffet. Then on my Carnival cruise after, their buffet was a disaster, inedible. Really shows how much better Royal does with the buffet.

I remember three years ago on Oasis the windjammer was terrible, much much better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMESCC Posted May 19, 2017 #22 Share Posted May 19, 2017 It's funny you mention this because we did NCL last fall and thought the buffet was immensely better than RCCL and thought Royal had slipped in the buffet area. Now we are booked on Anthem and will be curious to see how the Windjammer improved or stayed the same. Royal Caribbean is our preferred cruise line afterall.

impatientlywaiting Posted May 19, 2017 #23 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Until our last two cruises, we ate all our meals in the WJ. We now eat dinner in the MDR and breakfast & lunch in the WJ. I particularly love the made-to-order egg bar in the WJ. They always make my eggs just the way I like them and I get them hot out of the skillet!

somerandomidiot Posted May 19, 2017 #24 Share Posted May 19, 2017 There has definitely been a huge improvement in the food quality in the Windjammer on the Anthem this year vs last year. Now they just need to clean up those disgusting hand washing stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc320 Posted May 19, 2017 #25 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I was on the Brilliance last Feb. & thought the food in the WJ had really gone downhill....happy to hear things have improved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
