Dublin_Mike Posted September 27, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Just returned from Palma at 330 but only food option for a late lunch was a small corner in the solarium, the Park Cafe. The line was out the door on to the pool deck. Windjammer closed until dinner. I hadn't realized how far Royal Carribean has fallen in recent years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BND Posted September 27, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) All Vision class are that way and have been. Nothing new. Edited September 27, 2022 by BND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rubyfisch Posted September 27, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 27, 2022 It was the exact same way on Serenade in Europe in 2017. I don't think this is new or particularly surprising. Cafe Latitudes probably had some snack type stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I been on a few on this class and I'd have to disagree. This is our favourite class, ir had been, in the past. There seems to be more late lunch options on other cruise lines.

Well, maybe, I've been spoiled by other lines that keep a portion of their "Windjammer" open off meal times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulsacoker Posted September 27, 2022 #6 Share Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) Curios why you didn't eat at port. Don't believe windjammer has even been open after 3:30 on any ship. Between 3:30 and 5:45 they change over to dinner items Edited September 27, 2022 by Tulsacoker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And was this way on Vision Class in mid-90's, even on Sovereign back in 80's where only late afternoon option was Tea Time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing open after lunch hours is Park Cafe and Cafe Latetudes. WJ has always closed around 3 and MDR isn't open on port days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If food availability at that time is a criterion, sail those lines or other ships in the RCI fleet. The venue operating hours are listed in the RCI app. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just know going in and then you arent surprised. We just are more spoiled now by the newer ships with more options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bunch of us, over 50 posted, got sick sat night 1st week and I didnt use mine that much but she was giving out vouchers. Good tip. They have the new part for the booke coffee but 2 crew couldnt figure out how to put it in. So they brought up the new one and couldnt set it up.

That is very much a YMMV thing and the few times it happened, they didn't bother with a coffee card like yours - just being D and up got you a limited coffee selection at the coffee shop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever we have been on a ship with a broken Diamond club coffee machine they have just swiped our seapass cards. With the coffee card were you still limited to Diamond club coffee options? How would they know you hadn’t purchased a coffee card or do those look different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when I walked up he asked do I want a americano or a latte or a cappuccino..which I guess are the choices upstairs? But then someone said they got a carmel mach or whatever and they made exceptions. Lol. The regular ones if you dont use them up can be used on your next cruise. These are dated so idk. The machine was broke in dec, this is the new replacement broke. I thought it was biker who told me to ask for a coffee voucher so I did and she had them. Maybe wasnt him. Thanking wrong person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably did, but how the coffee machine outage is handled is very ship/sailing dependent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
