Thetrail Posted September 26, 2017 #101 Share Posted September 26, 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? Honestly have never had a problem with windjammer food on any RCL ship. Always something there that I like and several items that I really like!....(y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMESCC Posted September 26, 2017 #102 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I'm looking forward to trying Windjammer on our cruise this week. I never had a problem with the food, just the crowdedness and sometimes rude people in there. Sent from my Pixel using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinyork Posted September 26, 2017 #103 Share Posted September 26, 2017 We are just off Indy. The windjammer was vastly improved from our previous RCI Cruises. Breakfast had everything you could want, lunch was amazing. In 14 days we had giant Shrimp every other day and lobster 4 times for lunch. The huge joints of lamb and beef were lovely. We were travelling with others so had dinner in the MDR but our trips through the windjammer before dinner looked very good.

nyllrap Posted September 26, 2017 #104 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I was on the 0asis in early September. The WJ was excellent, including desserts. Sent from my iPod touch using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aubreyc1988 Posted September 26, 2017 #105 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I think everything but the desserts have improved in the Windjammer. Idk why, I think the desserts are just OK in the windjammer and prefer the desserts in the Cafe Promenade or in the MDR over WJ desserts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No name calling. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. For us, we have never had a bad meal in the Windjammer (and we have had lots of cruises with RCI). On our last cruise in April on the Oasis, the food and desserts were excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums That's easy to explain the food you remember is from the days of old small ships, few people. Your next party try fixin a meal for 8 then make it for 500 and tell me it taste the same[emoji15]. What's that old saying feed them slop and they will come, you know what the food is going to be but you still come[emoji849] Next cruise look around no one is going hungry[emoji3] Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoundForSea Posted September 27, 2017 #111 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Just off Enchantment. Excellent food. Some was just outstanding like the ribs. Fall off the bone melt in your mouth. I was impressed coming from several years of NCL cruising back to RCI. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schwpaul Posted October 23, 2017 #112 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Okay, I have to resurrect this thread from last month. After a few less than stellar Windjammer experiences, I had high hopes that this thread was accurate. After our 10/7 Jewel cruise, I am happy to report one of the best, if not the best, Windjammer experiences ever. Strip loin, beef brisket, and lamb were available almost every night. There was also a nice rotating selection of other main courses. The desserts were greatly improved from the gelatinous mess that seemed to have become the norm in Windjammer dining. On several nights fresh crepes and waffles were available with ice cream and many toppings. An ice cream cart even wandered the Windjammer and fresh sundaes were made table side on a couple of nights. We liked the experience so much we only made it to the MDR one night of a nine night sailing. Hopefully, these experiences were not just due to European sourcing for this cruise.

Cookiecookie Posted October 23, 2017 #114 Share Posted October 23, 2017 We enjoy the WJ but do think the puddings could be better. Miss the ice cream being served from the huge tub by a member of the crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMESCC Posted October 23, 2017 #115 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I thought the Windjammer on Anthem was great. Food was excellent and great selection but I am not picky at all. The only complaint of the same for all buffets on ships, crowded very bad at times but we always found a place to sit, just took a little time sometimes. Man we just loved Anthem by the way. Can't wait to sail her again. I almost booked another one but we agreed to wait a bit. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArizonaCruzer Posted October 23, 2017 #116 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I just spent two weeks on the Navigator of the Seas and was impressed with the WJ. There is a separate pasta bar, International Bar and burgers/hot dogs. There were plenty of choices in the main line. We didn't experience any lines but we went at off-peak times. I wish the WJ was open later though. Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdrocks Posted October 23, 2017 #117 Share Posted October 23, 2017 We too have never been disappointed in the WJ. On our Anthem cruise in 2016 we really enjoyed the WJ. Really got more tired of the dining menus . On our B2B on Harmony in January this year, went to the WJ when not at Coastal Kitchen or Solarium. Did the dining room only a couple times as the service was painfully slow. Just couldn't take the slowness of it. Even got a little bored with CK. Thought the WJ was very good, with plenty of variety & the desserts were plentiful, even if repetitive. Loved the ice cream bar. Usually have no trouble gaining weight on a cruise, even when going to the gym. LOL !! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare bobmacliberty Posted October 23, 2017 #118 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Was on a Med cruise (Freedom) a few weeks ago and ended up eating dinner in the WJ three different nights. We just didn't feel like dressing for dinner. All 3 nights were excellent experiences...both food quality and service. It was packed each night with a line to get in at 6:30 when it opened. The MDR was probably about 50-75% full when we ate there. I see a lot more WJ dinners on our future cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presentation, taste, great waiters at the door singing and dancing. Shrimp every night, great steaks, deserts. But sometimes I think it is only in the Med that you see that improvement.

Ashland Posted October 3, 2018 #121 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Just off the Freedom a week ago (B2B) and the WJ food was some of the worst we've ever had...So sad because we're actually WJ fans and eat most of our meals there. We're so over the whole MDR/MTD after many years of cruising with RCI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
