beaumontbhoy Posted January 15, 2010 #3 Share Posted January 15, 2010 when does it generally get busy in the morning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted January 15, 2010 #4 Share Posted January 15, 2010 when does it generally get busy in the morning? If it is a port day the Windjammer starts getting busy right after 7AM on sea days people tend to sleep later and it may be after 8 before a lot of people start to show up.

cb at sea Posted January 16, 2010 #8 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Even tho the dining room opens later, it's worth the wait....same foods as in WJ, but THEY serve YOU! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepless Posted January 16, 2010 #9 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Even tho the dining room opens later, it's worth the wait....same foods as in WJ, but THEY serve YOU! Actually, there are more options in the Windjammer; some choices are not available in the Dining Room that you may get in the Windjammer. CB is right, however, in that you are served in the Dining Room as the Windjammer is a buffet. DH and I prefer the Windjammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless having THEM serve YOU is what floats your boat the dining room is hardly worth he wait. On second thought, it is worth the wait. It decreases the crown that us Windjammer lovers have to put up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandm Posted January 16, 2010 #11 Share Posted January 16, 2010 We actually are just off the December 19th sailing on the Navigator. I was very disappointed that the Windjammer doors did not open until 7:00on port days and 7:30 on seas days. You could not even get in for coffee or juice before those times. The doors were closed and there was an employee standing guard. I have never seen the doors closed like that before. I run early mornings and I have always been able to get in to get a drink of water or juice at 6 or 6:30 but not this past cruise. It was closed up tight!

Rare silentbob007 Posted January 16, 2010 #14 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Sometimes the schedule of the WJ differs with the ship's schedule ... an earlier arrival can mean an earlier opening in the morning. They almost always have at least a continental breakfast (early bird coffee) out by 6 or 6:30 AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I find the same situation on my upcoming Independence adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about Navigator but RCI ships I've been on generally have a tray or two of pastries (i.e Continental breakfast) put out at the 24x7 beverage station just outside the Windjammer by 6:30 am.

CB is right, however, in that you are served in the Dining Room as the Windjammer is a buffet. DH and I prefer the Windjammer.The dining room does have some options that Windjammer doesn't have. For example, if you want Eggs Benedict, you'll have to go to the dining room. Also, pancakes and waffles are a good bit better in the dining room (those things don't do well sitting in a warming pan). However, if you like scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast, you'll likely prefer the Windjammer -- you'll get exactly what you want with plenty of choices. And if you want an omlet, you'll do better in Windjammer where you can walk up, say what you want, and watch it cooked in front of you. We tend to do half-and-half on cruises. Half of our breakfasts in Windjammer, half our breakfasts in the dining room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antsp Posted January 16, 2010 #20 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Its all the odd hours it closes during the day, I remember getting back on the ship about 3pm and the bi=uffet was closed........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffie Posted January 16, 2010 #21 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Its all the odd hours it closes during the day, I remember getting back on the ship about 3pm and the bi=uffet was closed........... I know that they close the Windjammer when they are changing setups from one meal to the next. Figuring out when this happens is a mystery to us cruisers. Maybe that was what you encountered? Seems like a weird time of the day for that to occur, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted January 16, 2010 #22 Share Posted January 16, 2010 The open hours of all the eating establishments will be posted in the Cruise Compass. There will always be something available. The situation on Navigator (post #11) is the first I've ever heard of this sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandm Posted January 16, 2010 #23 Share Posted January 16, 2010 This was the first time I've encountered the doors closed and no coffee, juice or continental breakfast available before 7:30. I was really disappointed. Coffee was available on the 5th floor in the Promanade cafe but juice was the fresh squeezed kind that cost an extra $3.95. There were several things that were "missing" or "different" on this past cruise that left us disappointed. We are on the Independence in March and hope things will be be as we've come to expect on Royal Caribbean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
