Are shrimps making a comeback- windjammer?

[mcatmcat]

Hello

 

I was in the freedom of the seas and for my surprise I saw shrimps every single night at the windjammer. The last time I saw shrimps cocktails every single night was 5-6 yrs old. I was wondering if shrimps are back fleet wide or if I was lucky in that

sailing.

I remember in my first 2 cruises aboard the RCCL Nordic Empress in 1996, at lunch in the Windjammer. I was able to try the King Crab Legs

 

I've never seen them again

They had hot/cold shrimp on the seafood buffet in Windjammer on Majesty night before drydock.

on the last night of my EN cruise in January, they had peel and eat shrimp. I didn't look at the hot bar to see if they had deep fried shrimp. I had already eaten an early dinner at MTD and I had gone to WJ looking for dessert. The shrimp ended up being my dessert!

Princess has lobster on the buffet, why not Royal?

Lobster has been reported in the buffet from time to time.

Lobster has been reported in the buffet from time to time.

I'd love to see that. 😊

On Enchantment last October there was shrimp everywhere in the Windjammer. And sushi too. Maybe it was because it was the last night. I am sure glad we did not go in the main dining room that night.

They literally had “buckets” with lobster tails last year on Navigator. It was awesome! [emoji6]

The Freedom had lobster on the last night buffet at windjammer on both our last BTB cruises in Nov./Dec. They were split in half and served on large trays on rear serving area . First time I have ever seen lobster on night Buffet was on Oasis in Nov. in windjammer and had trays of lobster and steam shrimp. Bob

How can you find out ahead of time what is being offered for dinner in WJ? I'd rather just do the WJ and get my food immediately if they have premium stuff like Prime Rub and Lobster. Multiply that by 100 if it's Formal Night in the MDR. My wife hates formal night and suffers through it so I can eat the premium stuff that we thought we could only get in the MDR.

The large shrimp bowl was on both our Harmony cruise in May and Oasis in late fall.

I don't think there is a way other than to do a loop through and see what is on offer. Perhaps you could do that before getting ready for dinner to avoid the formal night prep?

Definitely. Just about anything to avoid all that hoopla.

I find the shrimp to be tasteless -- I think they are mostly farm raised from Thailand, Vietnam, Korea, or China. Certainly not my go-to item on board.

They had a sign in Windjammer on Majesty advertising the Seafood Buffet. Can't remember if it was the same day or day before. That is how we learned about it.

We saw lobster tail on the buffet on a fall B2B oasis cruise. We also sailed the oasis in December and January and had it on the January cruise but not the December cruise. In December I asked the Windjammer manager about lobster, and he told me they never serve it in the windjammer. Of course it was there the following week.

 

We also do see cold shrimp in the windjammer.

Liberty had lobster on the last night. The windjammer has really improved over the last 18 months. We have seen crab claws on night 5 and 6 with peel and eat shrimp. And of course the lobster, it has been one of those hidden secrets.

We had shrimp or prawns as we call it on Australia Day on the ovation.

The worst seafood I’ve had,cheap frozen supermarket product probably from a third world country.

No very impressed.

There was no lobster in WJ on Oasis for our Feb 4, 2018. Cocktail shrimp was only served one night in WJ.
