Yellowlily Posted July 8, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Talk to me about Coastal Kitchen. Haven’t found too much info, mainly menus. We are Sky Class Suite guests on the Oasis with 2 kids. Have read food is amazing. How child friendly are the meals? How would you compare to a nice dinner at Chops or Giovanni’s? Can you have embarkation lunch there? Any pics, advice would help. Thanks!

lovelife Posted July 9, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Coastal Kitchen is a more relaxed atmosphere. There have always been some children in there when we dined and it looked like they were served food that children often prefer. Not up to Giovanni's fare IMO but really good. We have had many horrible experiences in Chops so I'll pass on that comparison. We were just on Allure for two weeks and never stepped foot in the MDR. We ate all dinners in CK except the one in Giovanni's and had almost all breakfasts there. It was heavenly not getting caught up in the sometimes chaotic MDR.

Rare John&LaLa Posted July 9, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) CK is best at breakfast and lunch. Breakfast menu is std and doesn't change. Poached eggs with farro are really good Lunch has more variety on Oasis than Allure. Tomato soup, wrapped dates, salmon, chicken sandwich and margarita pizza are some of our faves. Enjoy Edited July 9, 2018 by John&LaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissMiss USA Posted July 9, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I have a 6 year old and they have always been great with her. That said....if she is hangry or tired, we kindly ask if they can bring out a fruit plate fairly fast. They have yummy kid food that she loves! No worries!

Shacky316 Posted July 9, 2018 #9 Share Posted July 9, 2018 You will be happy. Coastal on Oasis is a lot better than the disaster on Harmony. (I have been on both boats twice.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not sure why Harmony's Coastal Kitchen is a disaster compared to Oasis. We have considered upgrading our cabin for our Harmony reservation, but if there is a huge issue, we might reconsider.

I will have been on Oasis, Allure, and Harmony over the course of 7-8 months. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will upgrade our Harmony cabin after our Oasis cruise if we decide Coastal Kitchen, suite lounge and other suite class benefits are worth it. We are fine with 3 drinks on our sea pass each night, though on our recent Alaska cruise, me used the diamond lounge more than we have in the past, though it was very crowded on some nights, with the overflow area full too. I haven't looked into many Harmony threads yet, since the cruise is still far off. What I have read doesn't give me any hint to what the "disaster" is on Harmony.

Well, September 29 may be a quiet week on Oasis with Presidents Cruise going on 180 miles south. Regardless, you should enjoy the GS perks on Oasis. Pretty sure Harmony comes to PC soon after you sail her Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BHappy2Day Posted July 9, 2018 #22 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Coastal Kitchen is a wonderfully quiet and relaxing alternative to the MDR. Everything about it is light and airy and tranquil. The breakfast menu is loaded with healthy options. I think the evening menu is much closer to MDR than the specialty restaurants, but still good.

setsail Posted July 10, 2018 #25 Share Posted July 10, 2018 That's why I'd like to know what the CK "disaster" is on Harmony. We almost always sail from Port Canaveral and we are loosing Oasis and getting Harmondy. We thought the food in the evening was just average on par with the mdr. Breakfast and lunch was still great. The service was still above average with a very friendly staff. But, I can't speak for every cruise, chefs change, staff change etc. We also used the diamond club almost every night, much more comfortable furniture, more waiters, better pours and also a very friendly staff. We did not witness a disaster, but certainly below O/A on the evening food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
