Seafood buffet

[GOIN2C]

I remember reading that Royal has a seafood buffet. Could anyone verify and or give any info on this?

Every now and then there are some good seafood choices in the Windjammer buffet, but there is not a "seafood buffet", per se, on RC.

A few ships (like Symphony) have a specialty venue called Hooked that may offer more than the usual variety of seafood related items. You can find the menu in the app.

They were not running their happy hour specials when I was on in March.  Told they stopped them when they stared back up after covid and did not know if they would restart them or not.

Couldn't have been too long ago if it was on Symphony.

I've luckily run into this seafood spread 3 times at least I can remember, maybe more on liberty. 

 

All kinds, shrimp, cold lobster, mussels, those red things, didnt try them, 6 or 7 seafood choices. I missed the lobster the first time, it ran out.

Last year on several sailings last lunch featured more seafood dishes. I think they discontinued it by Christmas.

 

I do not remember ever RCI's seafood buffets like Princess had, which are also discontinued. They literally had Alaskan Crab legs split in halves, lobsters and everything else.

 

But as a seafood lover I am always able to pick several seafood appetizers. Sometimes I skip main dish (and always dessert), but I always eat them.

Those "red things" look like crawfish (the best item of everything you mentioned, if cooked correctly).  I would have taken the whole bowl. 😁

Yes I tried them once and they were really a lot of work to peel. I was happy with the shrimp or shrimp and lobster when I saw the lobster before it was gone. They dont advertise it and easy to miss as its turned toward the grill and I walked by without seeing it. It was where they had salad items usually. 

 

Those crawfish are hard to peel .. they had tons of them no one was taking lol. You could have had a huge bowl to yourself.

lol the one where I missed the lobster you were on that cruise. See how easy it is to miss. Helen came back to the table with a half of a lobster and other stuff and I went up, all gone.

 

Yes the other 2 times were more recent. The first time was the dec 12 liberty. Seen it twice more.

 

Dec 12 was the last day before we got back. The other times when we boarded. No rhyme or reason.

 

See you didnt see it either. Have to be watching the WJ. Lunch time.

im not a huge sea food eater so it'd be easy for me to miss

On Navigator a few years back they advertised Seafood night in the Windjammer.  It was impressive.  One whole side was iced down with fresh seafood, tons of specialty items I had never seen before. It was in the Compass and announced by wait staff in MDR the day before.  It was truly impressive; have not seen a spread like that since the days of the Midnight Buffets.

I ask the big boy chefs if there will be a seafood night in the Windjammer. 
 

I also want to know about “Indian” night.

For my upcoming sailing on Jewel, The Windjammer themes are in the app under Windjammer menu.  It's a 12 night sailing so there is an Indian Night and an IndoChinese Night among the others, but, no Seafood Buffet.

Correct, fish and chips, clams, shrimp and other sea food. Including chowder.
