ridgecrest Posted June 29, 2018 #26 Share Posted June 29, 2018 DW and I were on the ship with you. We too had a very positive dining experience. On the formal nights, we elected to eat in the Windjammer (didn't feel like changing out of my shorts and tee.) where we enjoyed the variety and relaxed atmosphere. Only ate at one specialty dining venue, Chops. I too had the 9 oz fillet which was cooked to perfection. Having sailed Royal ships 14 times, we were a little disappointed at the reduced variety offered in the MDR and we made that known on our after cruise survey. We did however, like the new MDR change of ordering appetizer, entree, and dessert at the same time. Enjoyed your review. Thanks for sharing.

Mouseearsusa Posted June 29, 2018 Author #27 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Hi, Thank you so much! :D I just am not sure about your wife's 'Turf' of the Surf n Turf dinner selection. Maybe it's just shadows, but the steak looks like it's formed by combining other cuts. I don't know of a better way to describe what I see. ???? Bobbi I actually don't know what cut of steak that was, but she said it was tender and delicious medium rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MDR menus were a little short on choices, but since we never ate from the previous menus, I guess we weren't missing anything. We enjoyed all the food except WJ, even the pizza was decent at 11pm. Glad you had a good cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanatravel Posted June 30, 2018 #33 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Off the food subject, I've read about these items but didn't really see pics so for any first time cruisers here they are. I use a cpap machine and brought a 10 ft extension cord ( no surge protector) I heard there was was an outlet near the head board so a little investigating as for the coolers/ fridge not being cold enough, ours kept everything very cold. the showers are small, yes they are. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Thanks for all of your food pictures and further comments about the extension cord for the CPAP. We have not cruise the Oasis class previously and will in February. I've put in the order for the distilled water and cord. From your photo, I believe the plug is under the head board of the bed wall. Shower is average for a ship; hope it has a slider not curtain.

firerunner Posted July 2, 2018 #35 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Our first RCI cruise was fabulous, the only food complaints were Windjammer and the MDR breakfast. We ate the buffet on the first day lunch, and that was the last time we stepped in there. It was pretty bad. The MDR breakfast food seemed to be sitting too long. We ate every breakfast in the Solarium bistro. Smaller batches equaled fresher food. Pic of us from CP 150[ATTACH]424385[/ATTACH] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Why was the Windjammer bad?

Mouseearsusa Posted July 2, 2018 Author #43 Share Posted July 2, 2018 What was the cost for lunch at Izumi? Did you need reservations? Everything is A la carte for lunch. We ate dinner there the night before, and our server asked if we wanted to come back for lunch the next day. He penned us in for noon. The restaurant was not to crowded, but I would recommend a reservation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
