Havin'fun Posted October 28, 2013 #176 Share Posted October 28, 2013 My favorite, all over the ship, is Coconut Ranger Cookies. I adore those circles of love and have been known to secret some off the ship at the end of the voyage. SSSSHHHH, don't tell please. Just came off a 7 night cruise on Explorer 10 days ago - no Ranger cookies to be found anywhere until night 5 in the Cafe Promenade. I think they finally got tired of me asking for them. I took a dozen back up to the room! :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havin'fun Posted October 28, 2013 #177 Share Posted October 28, 2013 What I like best about WJ is being able to try things I would never order in a restaurant for fear of not liking something then having to pay for it! There I can try several small tastes of different items and go back for he one I like the best. I would never had tried Indian if not for the WJ!

A2Mich Posted October 29, 2013 #180 Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) Funny experience on a Western Med cruise: our high-school graduate daughter and I were going thru the WJ line and came across a big tray of green goo. There wasn't a sign to identify it.. That reminds me of Vegas Vacation where Clark and Cousin Eddie were at the crappy buffet and the server asked them "do you want yellow or blue?" As he was showing them these pans of colored.....umm....whatever it was... I'm sure us Americans eat a lot of things that seem strange to foreigners, just as they eat various things that Americans would find questionable.

Rala Posted October 29, 2013 #183 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Shepherds Pie should be made with minced lamb and cottage pie with minced beef. Otherwise they are just the same. Glad I read the whole thread as I was just about to post what you did. Shepherd's Pie or Cottage Pie...both are yummy. Here in the USA we tend to see cottage pie labeled as shepherd's pie more often than not... but nobody seems to care!!!;):D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rala Posted October 29, 2013 #184 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Ketchup, horseradish, poured over a block of cream cheese….BOOM! Rosie just got better. but I love my mayo…. :D Rosie would be spectacular if you mixed in a generous handful of baby shrimp. Delicious spread on crackers. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usckatieh Posted October 29, 2013 #185 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I love that the WJ on the Oasis had fried rice for breakfast. I get bored with regular breakfast offerings and it was sooo yummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimnbigd Posted October 30, 2013 #187 Share Posted October 30, 2013 The Mariner of the Seas had Chicken a la King for lunch one day (mid week). It was so good I had thirds. I don't recall this on other ships -- just the Mariner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreadpirate3 Posted October 30, 2013 #188 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I only ate in Windjammer twice during our cruise over the weekend. I did not know until after coming back home that there is a chocolate fountain in the evenings! Apparently, wasabi coated marshmallows aren't that great dipped in chocolate, but they had many items for dipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Tam Posted October 30, 2013 #189 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I love that the WJ on the Oasis had fried rice for breakfast. I get bored with regular breakfast offerings and it was sooo yummy. I agree. Found myself eating fried rice and vegetables for breakfast every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolesrule Posted October 30, 2013 #190 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I much prefer the turkey sausage at breakfast to the brown 'n serve style pork sausage. Really tasty. Cannot agree with this. I found the turkey sausage to be dry and tasteless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted October 30, 2013 #191 Share Posted October 30, 2013 ...I did not know until after coming back home that there is a chocolate fountain in the evenings!... That sounds intriguing but it's not on every ship. We ate in the WJ almost every evening on our last 3 cruises and never saw this once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxziebel Posted October 30, 2013 #192 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Not only the coconut cookies, but also the oatmeal raisin cookies! Usually only out for one or two nights. Always think about taking the tray back to the room... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordito Posted November 8, 2013 #193 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Are any other unusual breakfast items available at the WJ? Steak and eggs, or chilaquiles would be nice!!!!! Herb :confused::confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionna Posted November 8, 2013 #194 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I have a question... i had heard once that what they have in the MDR is in WJ for the dinner entrees? Also, I'm not a very big person, but i love to eat... has anyone ever gone to the MDR and then afterward go to the WJ? We have always gone to the MDR, we enjoy the atmosphere and having the same waiter everynight. Thanks for the input! My husband loves to do that... we'll eat in the MDR, then an hour or so later head to the windjammer. lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRANNYOFSIX Posted November 9, 2013 #198 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Not sure if anyone has posted this or not (sorry if it has already been mentioned) but the selection of international cheese in the WJ in the evening is amazing!!! Also the ice cream (not from the machines) that the waiters in the WJ serve is really yummy too........:):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc24cruiser Posted November 9, 2013 #199 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I have not read through the whole thread but this is what I found good..... Breakfast - the pancakes, strawberry goo (can't remember the proper name!) and whipped cream was AMAZING! I missed my English style bacon because I do not like crispy bacon, they did have some soft bacon but I think it had been cooked with peppers and onion from memory. I loved all their rice dishes (it's my soft spot) so the Chicken a la king and the stroganoffs were yummy :) Wasn't keen on many of the desserts...I don't know if I just missed al the good ones but whenever I went up there was just different dishes of goo in different colours :confused: Honey stung chicken - was really excited to try this after so many glowing reviews about it but both times I had it the chicken was dry. Will give it another go, hopefully it will be third time lucky :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
