Mark_UK Posted June 28, 2013 #2 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I love the Park Cafe for breakfast and lunch. The English muffins (egg, bacon and cheese!) are a great way to start the day and for lunch you get a good choice of made to order salad or things like the roast beef sandwich. Also much less busy than the windjammer! Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted June 28, 2013 #3 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Johnny Rockets for breakfast is a nice way to get made to order eggs, and no extra charge either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxoocruiser Posted June 28, 2013 #6 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Breakfast - MDR - Less congested and more relaxing. Also for the eggs benedict Lunch on Sea Days - Less congested and more relaxing. The Tutti Salad bar with the mounds of shrimp is delicious Lunch on Port Days - Park Café for the Roast Beef sandwich Snack - Promenade Café. Also the Park Café as that's the only place on the ship to get potato chips Dinner - MDR - Contrary what others have posted on the CC Forums I enjoy the food selection and service .

BBowCruiser Posted June 28, 2013 #7 Share Posted June 28, 2013 We liked the Wipe Out Cafe for afternoon snacks and breakfast, made to order omelets and much less busy than the Windjammer. For lunch, Park Cafe. We loved the roast beef sandwiches, salads, and fruit cups. Late night snacks, Sorrento's and Promenade Cafe. We never tried any of the specialty restaurants.

southern cruising couple Posted June 28, 2013 #8 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I loved breakfast at the Solarium restaurant and lunch at Park Cafe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakesmom04 Posted June 28, 2013 #9 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Park Place for lunch...was by far our favorite. For a quick bite, Dog House. Wipeout Café for a frozen yogurt. Didn't eat in any specialty dining....MDR was great in our opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shipshape sam Posted June 28, 2013 #10 Share Posted June 28, 2013 We liked: 1) the park place cafe for lunch on embarkation day 2) Chef's Table for a special dinner. It costs, but for us, it was fun and worth in. The wine flowed and we met some others that we continue to be friends with. 3) Samba's. We liked the the food and just taking our time to eat 4) DW loves room service on balcony More than one. If I had to pick one, it would be Samba's. We went twice on our sailing.

venicia Posted June 28, 2013 #11 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Park Café for breakfast or lunch, all the food there was fantastic Johnny Rockets for breakfast Enjoyed the Dog House for a really good hot dog dinner: Chops, this was our favorite restaurant liked Giovannia's(I know that is spelled wrong), food was good but would not do it again we are in the minority here, but we did not like 150 Central and will not go back there again dining room had good dinners and great service went to the Windjammer 2 times and always had good food and never had a problem finding a table, as a matter of fact when we approached the entrance, we were escorted to a table.

We too struggled with 150 Central. Expensive wine pairing and a little more formal/stuffy than we liked. Did try one hot dog, but it was in passing and ate while walking somewhere?! Our MDR experience was not good. We ate there once and at a table for two. Tables were so close together, we got to see waiters backside as they served diners next to us. Also, we were so close to them we basically felt like we were sitting together. Okay if that is what you wanted or expected. We were looking for a dinner for 2, not potentially 6 with 2 others on each side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donder1 Posted July 2, 2013 Author #16 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Thanks for posting to by query. Can't wait for our Allure experience. BTW, a bit off topic but does one have to make reservations beforehand/online for the big shows onboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BillOh Posted July 2, 2013 #17 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Hi, we are excited about an upcoming sailing on the Allure. I am dizzy with all the dining choices. What do you like and why? After twice, I don't have an absolute favorite and glad to have a week to try them all and a couple of a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should make all the reservations you can in advance for Allure, especially the comedy show. There is a line at the venue for people who don't have reservations. They allow this line to enter the venue about 10 minutes before the show starts. However, you will get the best seats by having advance reservations.

macruisefan Posted July 2, 2013 #19 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Breakfast: Room Service on the Balcony Lunch: Park Cafe, Giovanni's Dinner: 150 Central Park, Chef's Table. Nothing else is in the same category as these two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenew Posted July 2, 2013 #20 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Hi, we are excited about an upcoming sailing on the Allure. I am dizzy with all the dining choices. What do you like and why? The park place cafe for a light breakfast and lunch was our favourite The Chef's Table is awesome for that special dinner. It may look expensive, but the food is excellent and you get a reasonable amount of wine included in the price (Champagne on entry, and 5 different with the meal). Also included is a chef's apron and a RCI recipe book. You get to meet others who enjoy good food. This has a maximum of 14 settings. If you do go, look at the light shades above the table. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C0nfett1 Posted July 2, 2013 #21 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I really loved the Solarium for breakfast and lunch. Not only did it have healthier and more flavorful options, but the views and ambiance were amazing! There is a little stream that goes through the floor which I loved. And we had breakfast there the morning when we were in St. Thomas and seeing the island as we were eating was breathtaking! We did not try any restaurants that you had to pay a fee for, but we never really felt like we were missing out. I suppose that depends on your personality though. The MDR for dinner suited us just fine. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildcatfish Posted July 2, 2013 #23 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Really enjoyed the Solarium Bistro for breakfast. Relaxing, with great views, and the best fresh fruit (mango, papaya, pineapple, etc.). Lots of choices for lunch! While we enjoyed the food at all locations, we were most relaxed at the Windjammer! There is more seating at the Windjammer than any other location, and we enjoyed the view. Other places i.e. Park Café are nice, but have limited seating. I guess the key is to try to have lunch either before or after the midday rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
