CRUZCOOL Posted September 28, 2010 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2010 My DH asked last night if the windjammer will be crowded for dinner. I tried to explain to him that probably not since there are so many places to eat on the ship. We do not go to the MDR and put don't want to wait in line at the free places to eat for dinner. Also, explained that the cost of Johnny Rockets is worth it for dinner one night, the sushi place offers take out, we have chops reservations for one night, and that there is always room service. Can anyone who sailed recently tell us if the windjammer was crowded for dinner? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipLondon Posted September 28, 2010 #2 Share Posted September 28, 2010 That all depends on cruise by cruise basis, and at what time you wanted to dine. The Windjammer on The Oasis is really large, and in general I would say no it is not crowded in the evenings. Enjoy your cruise:) Can anyone who sailed recently tell us if the windjammer was crowded for dinner? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobiecat01 Posted September 28, 2010 #3 Share Posted September 28, 2010 We have eaten in the Windjammer for dinner at least once per cruise and have never encountered the areea to be more than 1/4 full. On our last cruise -Oasis 4/17/2010, the Windjammer was nearly empty. We attributed that to the sheer number of other places to eat aboard the Oasis. Overall we never felt that our Oasis cruise was crowded except for the parades in the Royal Promenade. Enjoy your cruise! ----------------------------- Sea ya!

Thanks Agree with Chip London it all depends on cruise by cruise basis, at what time you wanted to dine and port of call. The Windjammer on the Oasis is really large, and in general I would say no it is not crowded in the evenings or early mornings. Being first or last during serving times is the best time to show up.

slyster Posted September 28, 2010 #6 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I'm glad you asked the question...and I'm even more glad I read through threads before repeating the same question when I can. I have heard the Windjammer is really crowded during breakfast and lunch so I wondered about dinner. Thanks for asking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted September 28, 2010 #7 Share Posted September 28, 2010 It totally depends on the passenger mix....on one cruise, you may have alot of folks who LOVE buffets...on the next...few will partake of a buffet dinner....each sailing is totally different!

LisaT91403 Posted September 28, 2010 #8 Share Posted September 28, 2010 The Windjammer on The Oasis is really large Really? I had heard that it was rather small on Oasis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALSEAU Posted October 6, 2010 #9 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Really? I had heard that it was rather small on Oasis. I have never sailed a Freedom Class ship so I don't know how big the Windjammer is on them and what folks expect the Oasis to be since the passenger size is so much larger. But on the ships I have sailed the Oasis Windjammer is much larger. Also there are so many other options to eat on this ship. It was Thursday before we ate in the Windjammer. We were not avoiding it we just kept finding ourselves eating someplace else that was conveient when we were hungry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogimax Posted October 6, 2010 #10 Share Posted October 6, 2010 We just got off Oasis and did not eat one meal in the Windjammer! Proud of it too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sct12345 Posted October 7, 2010 #11 Share Posted October 7, 2010 i think i ate breakfast in windjammer 3 times. i wouldn't have gone there at all. I was a big fan of Park Cafe for breakfast (lunch too) but the rest of the family loves a good buffet. Windjammer very crowded for breakfast and lunch. Worse for breakfast though. Problem is people finish and just continue to sit in the seats and BS. They would periodically make announcements to ask people to move on with their day when they are done so others could find a seat. BTW there is no omelet station as it would take forever to accommodate the orders. My wife and daughter went to windjammer for one dinner and said it was not crowded at all. Basically same food as in the MDR for dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimnbigd Posted October 7, 2010 #12 Share Posted October 7, 2010 What? No MDR at night? Sacrilege! :p I'm sure the least crowded meal in the Winjammer is evening, since most passengers will eat in the MDR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUZCOOL Posted October 7, 2010 Author #13 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Thanks for all the responses. We like to eat in the Windjammer b/c of the selection and casual dining. We don't like to dress up and like to eat when we feel like it. My DH loves to wear his basketball shorts all day long. I am looking forward to the windjammer as it is a fun place to eat.

loman Posted October 7, 2010 #14 Share Posted October 7, 2010 We ate in the windjammer ( last week ) twice for dinner , we didnt do formal nights this cruise , and it was maybe half full . There are screens on the ship in various locations that you can check to see what the degree of occupancy is in all of the restuarants and you can also check this right from your tv in your cabin. Food was decent too. It is very full after 9 am for breakfast , we ended up finding a table first and then one of us would go get our food while the other held the table. The windjammer is very big on this ship . Dining room is good for lunch , you can have your own salad made which was very good and was never packed.
