Should I cancel FNDR FOR Coastal Kitchen Fillet?

[Pittsburgh Mike]

We are in a Suite for 8-20-17 Oasis sailing and have reserved FNDR. It seems Coastal Kitchen has the fillet only on the first night. Should I cancel FNDR and take advantage of Coastal fillet? Looking for advice from seasoned RCI cruisers!

Good question.

 

How much of a filet-mignon-lover are you?

 

*I* would eat in CK the first night. You will have to choose for yourself. ;) Free still beats $15.

A good fillet beats $15 every time. Given a few thumbs up on CK fillet I will be cancelling FNDR in a heartbeat.

The first night Filet in the CK is the best meal of the week. Comparable to a "real" steakhouse.

If you want the filet with no upcharge then yes. It would be my luck that for some reason they would change the menus around. We always make resi's after boarding.

 

Side note, the other steak they have at other times is not very good. I don't think royal is using prime anywhere on the ship, so a filet is just that, a filet, most likely choice meat.

Go for Coastal the first night. I will be there on Oasis Sept 24th. Bob

I would be running to CK the first night!

We go to Coastal Kitchen every night. Except when we go to Wonderland or return from a late excursion.

 

CK is terrific.

Eat in the CK..... you will enjoy.

My daughter and husband loved the filet the first night. Another night we went to coastal kitchen and had checked the tv menu ahead and it read filet again, so my daughter wanted to go there (I think this was night 5). Unfortunately the tv menu shown was not correct, but our waiter happily found her a filet anyway.

If you are in a GS do you need to make a reservation for CK?

I don't think it's absolutely necessary, but highly recommended if you want to show up at peak time, 6:30pm to 7:30pm.

Mine is another vote for the first night filet in CK. Had filet later in Chops and found CK to be much better and it was already included in my cruise fare.

We made reservations for 8 PM and it was not crowded then but I will still make reservations.

My daughter and I both had CK filet first night and thought it was good. Other steaks not so good

On our cruise, they were actually full for 630. We ate at the Samba and the Concierge was glad we cancelled as he had a waiting list for our 630 time.

We almost always eat in Coastal Kitchen the first night because of the filet. As far as quality, we are always happy...however, neither of us are demanding. You should also eat in CK on the second formal night because the lobster is good...we like their recipe.

 

We will be on board with you.

 

Lunch (probably a buffet) is good the first day in CK. It makes for a calm beginning of the cruise.

The votes are in and I have cancelled FNDR and will go with CK! Thanks to everyone who supplied input. Hope to see you in CK Gil and Gail.

We also like lunch everyday in CK. Just don't care for the Windjammer on Oasis class ships. Harmony wasn't quite as bad as it was a tad larger.

We usually do FNDR in Chops, but I'm willing to try CK filet! We are not so fussy so I'm sure to take the advice of this board.

 

So there will be lunch in CK on Embarkation Day, it seems. Other Boards I've read, folks weren't sure.

 

Do the suites open prior to 1:00?

 

Thank you all.

Yes yes. Filet at ck on first nite. I found ck food excellent all nites. Yummy on the veal chop also.

Suites do not open any earlier, (not sure if Star class gets their genie to get them past or not), but the whole floor is still locked up.

Lunch was served from a menu at the Coastal Kitchen on our 3 Oasis cruise this year on embarkation day.
