CSBM Posted February 21, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 21, 2010 We are currently schedule to said on Liberty next March (2011). This will be our very first cruise. As I look over the ship pictures and diagrams I am a little confused. Is Jade a separate eating area or is it apart of WJ? Also just confirming that the pizza, salads, and sandwiches from the cafe on the promenade are free. Thanks for the help! CSBM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSBM Jade is part of the Windjammer. There is no additional charge for any foods in the Cafe' Promenade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetlaggedTraveler Posted February 21, 2010 #3 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Just to add a bit here. Jade offers great sushi rolls and other Asian food during dinner. They also set up the tables with linen during dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBM Posted February 21, 2010 Author #4 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Does anyone have any pictures of the layout of WJ/Jade? Thanks so much CSBM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanfromatlanta Posted February 21, 2010 #5 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Does anyone have any pictures of the layout of WJ/Jade?Thanks so much CSBM The deck plans are an inaccurate representation of the Windjammer. As you enter the Windjammer, there is a small bar and seating area. http://travel.webshots.com/photo/2512816280037122791ERvyEf http://travel.webshots.com/photo/2632318450096246620WTjsOK As you pass that area, you will get to the serving line for Jade just as any other buffet. Jade is just another serving line in the Windjammer buffet. http://travel.webshots.com/photo/2979853550058105257HzMEdM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare silentbob007 Posted February 21, 2010 #6 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Food items are free from the cafe on the promenade. Only upcharges are ice cream and served coffee-drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawaiibound24 Posted February 21, 2010 #7 Share Posted February 21, 2010 What about for the Monarch? Is the Jade separate or part of the WJ? Extra cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Jade a separate eating area or is it apart of WJ?Also just confirming that the pizza, salads, and sandwiches from the cafe on the promenade are free. Thanks for the help! CSBM A description of the whole buffet might answer your Jade/Windjammer question best: When you enter the buffet area the first thing you see is the Plaza Bar. There's only one Plaza Bar, whereas there are two of most other things in the bufffet. It's dead-center in front of the entrance, and it serves sodas and alcohol -- for-charge drinks. The center area (behind the bar) is the kitchen. If you go to the right, you'll see the Jade buffet serving area . . . if you go to the left, you'll see an identical Jade buffet serving area. There's really no official dividing line where Jade ends and Windjammer begins, but the two of them wind around the kitchen area and at some point Jade becomes Windjammer. Just as there are two Jades -- one to the left, one to the right -- there are two Windjammer serving areas -- one to the left, one to the right. Desserts, breads, fruits and other things are found on freestanding serving islands towards the back of the serving lines. No-charge drinks -- tea, lemonade, water, and a few other things -- are found at several drink stations on each side of the huge room. Tables are arranged all around the edges, providing a good view of the water or the islands. Promenade: Pizza, salads, sandwiches, fruit, cookies -- perhaps a few other items -- are all no-charge in the Promenade serving venues (you can't really say free, but you can say included with your ticket). The Promenade Cafe DOES scoot right up next to a bar and the Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream shop -- places that DO charge for their wares -- but most all the food in the Promenade is no charge.

kapcruiser Posted February 21, 2010 #9 Share Posted February 21, 2010 How are the sandwiches? Last year we were on Majesty- they had a sandwich shop- didn't care for any of the sandwiches. They did have a small salad bar that was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did have a small salad bar that was good.The Promenade Cafe is a favorite of my family's. The sandwiches are all TINY and YUMMY. They always have the same little ham and swiss croissants (must be their "best seller" --I know my husband never eats anything else), and in addition they have 2-4 other options. The selection changes daily, but everything we had was really good. You know that a sandwich always tastes better when someone else makes it for you!

depplep Posted February 22, 2010 #11 Share Posted February 22, 2010 The ham and cheese croissants are not to be missed! I could eat these all day everday and not ever go into another dining venue! No comparison to any food on Majesty. However, I do like the cheese panninis on Majesty in the Compass Deli as long as you cover them in Tabasco.

bluegirlum Posted February 23, 2010 #16 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Don't expect the sushi to be gourmet in Jade. It's good, but not great. Have a great time on Liberty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you that, as a sushi lover, I found it to be terrible. :o And the options were limited. Only a few rolls to choose from, among other mediocre Asian dishes (Chinese, Thai, Indian, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
