The Roast Beef Sandwich Cult

[cruisegal415]

Had it on the Oasis in 2010, it was to die for. Had it on the Allure in 2015, it was meh. The quality of the roast beef had declined and the rolls weren't as good either. So sad.

Same here, on Oasis in 2010 and Allure in 2012, they were great.:D On Serenade this past February, I almost needed a chainsaw to take a bite out of the roll....terrible :(

Is the new gravy thing a permanent change?

 

I sure hope not

Just had them today on the Allure and they were great. Brought back memories from Grandeur last year.

Have we decided, is there a place to get roast beef sandwiches on the refurbished Jewel? I'd like to try one.

 

Not sure about since dry dock but pre dry dock were in solarium Cafe on a sea day. I am also nt a big fan either, would eat it again but wouldn't search it out.

I found they were excellent on our Allure TA last October. Never ate in the Windjammer - preferred the sandwiches in the Park Cafe.

Absolutely agree. Roast beef in Windjammer was not that great at all. The Kumelweck sandwich in the Park Cafe was all that and the bag of chips it came with.

Was on Oasis on January and it was the 1st time to try one, and yes, my wife and I love them. Definitely the best sandwich on the ship, on any ship we've been on. We were very disappointed that the Park Cafe was closed by 5pm.

 

Roll, au jus on both sides, 2 slices of yummy roast beef and swath of horse radish. The Best!

 

I guess its different strokes for different folks.

I thought I had read that the Solarium Café was gone post refurb on the Jewel. Its now a pizzeria?

I don't think anything was done to the food venue in the Solarium on Jewel. It always did serve pizza slices.

I think it's like any meat. Sometimes you'll get a tough cut but in most cases it's pretty good. Not a member of the cult but usually have a couple every cruise.

I also was excited to try this awesome roast beef sandwich that everyone was raving about - I tried it on three different ships - definitely not impressed and won't bother again.

Count me in the underwhelmed group as well. I'd read so much about this "famous" RCI sandwich that it was my choice for lunch when we embarked on the Anthem TA. I found the sandwich to be dry (even with the horseradish mayo) and mostly bread.

 

A few days later, I gave it another try -- I asked for additional meat and asked for the horseradish to be spread on both piece of bread. That made it okay, but nothing special.

 

Fool me once... well, you know how that goes. :)

 

It's just a roast beef sandwich, folks.

Well, I think you have to remember that like everything the more it is hyped, the more likely it is to be disappointing. It's easy to have unrealistic expectations. Might be some of that, but also some quality drop. Tried it once on Splendour in 2010 and it was pretty fab! We'll see if we come across it on Harmony in August and give it another try. I really liked it, but I wouldn't go out of my way.

On Allure in April the first time I tried it I was not impressed, Beef was tough (sliced too thick) Tried a couple more times and got a very good one. I liked the salads in Park Café. Even with a line it moves fast. :D

[pandaball]

I can't say I'm a huge fan of the roast beef, but I do quite enjoy the panini at Park Cafe. I missed them while I was on Freedom.

ugh !

[Queen of Oakville]

can any recent Oasis guests comment on gravy vs. jus?

[Davidlmc]

Is the Roast Beef sandwich available on Voyager Class ships?

Not reliably, but you may find it from time to time in or outside Cafe Promenade.

[cb at sea]

Love roast beef sandwiches with mustard...not horseradish OR mayo! And, it must be thin-sliced...not slabs....

[Isaboo]

Maybe it's running the coarse of the "Honey Stung Chicken" that used to be the talk.....

 

 

I miss the honey stung chicken! What they have by that name now is not the same thing.

[ckrobyn]

I enjoyed the Kummelweck sandwich an hour ago on the Allure [emoji41]

I am going to have try this in October just to see what's up with it. I will get though sometime during the week, it don't have to be the 1st day.

However people use to crave Honey Stung Chicken and it had a cult following on embarkation day in the Windjammer, but I thought Honey Stung Chicken was very highly overrated!
