nunk Posted March 27, 2017 #101 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Just off the Serenade after 10 days....the windjammer food was perfect! No complaints at all. After many cruises I may even say this one had the best food/service to date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davekathy Posted March 27, 2017 #103 Share Posted March 27, 2017 We are not buffet people so the only time I go to the WJ is to build a cheese plate to have with wine in our cabin. On our last Jewel cruise one evening after we ate in the MDR and between shows we took a ride up to the WJ just to check out what it was like in the evening. We were very impressed with the atmosphere (quiet and the lights turned down) and a lot of good looking selections. We know understand why some consider the WJ in the evening a great place to eat. So much different than breakfast and lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyster Posted March 27, 2017 #104 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I suspect that first time cruisers don't know how difficult it might be to find a table. Ha! I was just thinking of that! The first thing we do is grab our silverware/napkin and drink, grab a table, then go get our food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdrobtx Posted March 27, 2017 #105 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Just recently of Rhapsody and the WJ was GREAT. One of the chefs help me with Indian food one evening. It was delicious. I've gotten to where I go to the WJ two or three nights. The food is hot compared with the semi warm, half cold, same old thing in the MDR. And you can wear shorts.;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One additional thing vets can do to help these people, if the only table available is a table for 8-10 and you are 2 people, sit to one end and invite others to use the rest of the table.

KuffMUp Posted March 27, 2017 #108 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I'm not sure why everyone calls the eggs "fake". They are 98.9% real eggs. The freeze dried ones contain powdered milk, salt, and citric acid. The liquid eggs are 99.9% real eggs with citric acid added. The texture of the dried eggs might make them taste funny. The liquid eggs I use at work taste exactly like eggs. As for Indian dishes, we did a B2B. The first week, there were a few Indian dishes such as curries. The second week, there were a lot of Indians on board and a whole bunch of Indian dishes in the WJ, most of which I couldn't pronounce. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingWeddingGirl Posted March 27, 2017 #109 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I have to eat gluten-free so we actually prefer the WJ to the main dining room because I can pick and choose what I want without a lot of fanfare and back and fourth with a waiter. We also didn't have a desire to spend hours every night in the dining room. The only complaint I would have with the WJ on Grandeur was that there were no gluten free dessert offerings short of melted jello. When my fiancé complained, they brought me out Udi's chocolate chip cookies :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNCheryl Posted March 27, 2017 #110 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Cruised Allure in January. We had breakfast in Windjammer twice. Once would have been enough for me, but DH wanted to try again. The thing they represented as an "omlet" was a horrible square of eggs with no meat visible. The bacon was greasy and not crisp. Of course there were plenty of healthy items: fruit, granola, etc. But I am on a cruise, I want good stuff. By the way, it was only slightly worse than Johnny Rockets. Stick to MDR for breakfast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHouseFootball Posted March 28, 2017 #111 Share Posted March 28, 2017 We have always found the food in WJ to be good and with all the options there you are bound to find something you enjoy. Is it a 5 star meal? No but it is a very good buffet. And their fries are amazing. Crunchy and a great taste. Haha one of the things I look forward to are Royals French fries!

At least on Freedom in 2015 and Oasis in 2016 they were horrible and not worth getting. I was pleased to see real scrambled eggs on Majesty last fall.
