Yes, when they increased the price a while back, they began including sodas with the meal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The waitresses on roller skates were really fun and we enjoyed the milkshakes and onion rings with lunch. Always a fun lunch and worth the $. I’m not sure if it’s different now. But it’s a great memory 😀 I will admit that my memory has occasionally been compared (unfavorably) to a block of Swiss cheese, but I have NEVER seen the wait staff on roller skates. Not on any ship. It just doesn't seem likely, either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see it though. Edited August 8, 2021 by later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsADQ Posted August 8, 2021 #30 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I wouldn't mind the Johnny Rockets cover charge so much if it didn't feel like extortion. On ships with no Johnny Rockets, I can ask for and receive a veggie burger in the buffet. On ships that DO have a Johnny Rockets, they say "Sorry, you have to go to Johnny Rockets for that." And on the Independence last January, I think the cover was 9.95+gratuity. Which, if I want a burger, leaves me choosing between dining alone or 9.95+ multiplied by however many people I'm with. When I go there by choice, it's a fun spot with good music and a great view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been on many ships with JR's and never felt forced/threatened to go there....Oh wait maybe by my kids 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beshears Posted August 8, 2021 Author #32 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Thank you for letting me know what brand of "soda" they serve. I can drink it if necessary, but I think I will be drinking MORE water this time. 🙂 I will say the "pictures" of the shakes/sodas DO look very inviting! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frito58 Posted August 8, 2021 #33 Share Posted August 8, 2021 We love to go later in the evening and be the only ones there , one night they got me to dance their routine with them , it was a blast . They like to have fun when it’s only a few people. The food is secondary to me but it’s normally great . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bz Posted April 17 #34 Share Posted April 17 embarcation day lunch possibility? I hate to bring up an old topic, but I'm wondering if we can go there for lunch when we get on the ship, thus avoiding the Windjammer. Does anyone know what the cover charge is these days?

The app (set to current sailing) should list all of the venues which are open along with possibly the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't sound bad, that is especially if a person is going to eat very much. This will seem trivial, but it was said the soda came with the cover charge. What was the brand? Just curious. 🙂 The cover charge on Mariner is currently $14.99, drinks not included. Sherri🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dad son team Posted April 17 #37 Share Posted April 17 For the $15 bucks at JR I'd rather spend a few more and go to Chops for lunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaretealexander Posted April 17 #38 Share Posted April 17 Food not as good in days gone by. Service was mediocre as well. Just another cash cow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
