nrunnion Posted August 26, 2004 #1 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Are you allowed to take food out of the WJ to eat by the pool or in your room? nr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaumD Posted August 26, 2004 #2 Share Posted August 26, 2004 There are no food police in the WJ. Ok to take food out. They may give you a hard time about taking glass by the pool as broken glass is rough on all those barefoot swimmers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjg41 Posted August 26, 2004 #3 Share Posted August 26, 2004 The answer is simple------Yes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruisehappymn Posted August 26, 2004 #4 Share Posted August 26, 2004 It's one of those unfortunate things..You can take it anywhere and I do...that's why I always gain weight on cruises. Sometimes I think I should have my jaw wired before boarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dndcruise Posted August 26, 2004 #5 Share Posted August 26, 2004 On the Vision last year, I would go get my wife breakfast and take it to the room. I did not make alot of friends with the rest of the men on the ship, when on the elevator the wifes would ask their husbands why they would not do that for them.

KellyJean Posted August 26, 2004 #6 Share Posted August 26, 2004 On the Sovereign last September, we filled a plate at the Chocolate buffet one night and took it back to our cabin, they even gave us plastic covers to go on them. Sometimes late at night, we would go get a few bites up in the Windjammer and take the tray back to our cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch Posted August 26, 2004 #7 Share Posted August 26, 2004 For our afternoon snack, we'd always go to the WJ and fix a platter of cold cuts, cheese, veggies, salad dressing, crackers , bread and fruit to have on our balcony with drinks. Great for impromto cocktail parties during sailaways. Stretch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmason Posted August 26, 2004 #8 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Yep, in fact, we usually get lunch and take it out on deck to enjoy by the pool no problem. There are tables and chairs available as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Island Lady Posted August 26, 2004 #9 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Absolutely! For our afternoon snack, we'd always go to the WJ and fix a platter of cold cuts, cheese, veggies, salad dressing, crackers , bread and fruit to have on our balcony with drinks. Great for impromto cocktail parties during sailaways. Stretch - Just wanted you to know that I am not picking on you when I make the following comment. I just decided to use your quote to ask my question. QUESTION: I have often wondered how people can eat cocktail snacks in their room, have afternoon snacks, eat the midnight buffets and the bed time mints before/after having had breakfast, lunch and the huge dinners. I am not downgrading those folks, but just don't understand where they put it! Yes, I am hungry before dinner, but if I ate those snacks, I would not be able to eat my late seating meal. I can't finish the meal as it is anyway and I am not a small person. We are thinking of getting a GS, that comes with fruit every evening. I cannot imagine eating that fruit before dinner. Again, I am just curious.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrislc Posted August 26, 2004 #10 Share Posted August 26, 2004 I've never had a problem on RCI taking food anywhere, but was reprimanded on Princess for having a plate with cheese and grapes in a show lounge (not the main theater). Keep in mind, this is the same lounge they had the welcome back party in and the same lounge in which they served much messier appetizers. I'd also think that a spilled drink would be more of a problem then a dropped grape or dropped piece of cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madforcruising Posted August 26, 2004 #11 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Actually I star this often in the morning and get my breakfast from the Windjammer to have it nice and relaxed on my balcony. Same in the afternoon and sometimes for lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSW Posted August 26, 2004 #12 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Sea Island Lady, Those of us who are or have been fat are envious with your ability to eat rationally! If you could bottle your food orientation, you could cruise for life. Meanwhile, I'll work off some calories schleping food from the WJ to my aft cabin come Dec. Will look for those plastic covers on Rhapsody. CSW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Island Lady Posted August 27, 2004 #13 Share Posted August 27, 2004 It's not about being fat or skinny. It's not about calories either. It's about how you have the room in your stomachs to eat all the food that is offered. I didn't say I was skinny either. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy1118 Posted August 27, 2004 #14 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Sea Island Lady, I'm with you. I'm a major food-a-holic and not even thinking about being skinny but I sometimes get mad that I just can't eat any more when there's so much I want to try. I usually eat breakfast, lunch and dinner and can't seem to stuff anything else down. Not even the bed time chocolates. I was on a Princess cruise in May and was seated at dinner with a man who had eaten breakfast and then both lunch and dinner in both the main dining room and the Horizon Court (Princess's version of the Windjammer) My traveling companions and I just looked at each other in amazement. I can barely stuff down three meals a day and he was on his 5th! He was comparing the prime rib he had in the Horizon Court with what was served in the dining room. :eek: Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happysinglemom Posted August 27, 2004 #15 Share Posted August 27, 2004 I agree with you too Sea Island Lady. Just went on my first cruise, and never could I eat like many others do. Just don't have the room, so to eat that much would make me really uncomfortable. I ate one or 2 boxes of cereal for breakfast with skim milk, maybe a couple of slices of bacon. Skipped lunch on the non-excursion days as I just didn't get hungry on the beach, but I ate on the 2 catamaran excursions that we did - just a small amount though. Dinner- ate in the dining room every night - probably ate half of what I was served. I think I had a cookie from the Promanade cafe every other night. No alcohol (if my choice is food or alcohol - food always wins!) and no midnight buffets. So I completely understand your perspective! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
