Judyrem Posted October 17, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 17, 2019 We had a long tour and were not eating until later that night on Allure. I was craving Buffalo wings and some snackies. Has anyone ordered them? How about the nachos or cheesesteaks? Sometimes I just want bar type food! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are ok, order several plates, they only come with around 5. Get a variety, it costs the same 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare twangster Posted October 17, 2019 #9 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I enjoy wings at home and have found them to be fine on most ships. They aren't as good as you'll get from a good wing place at home but they always work for me. Just like a Chops steak isn't as good as a great steak restaurant at home, so it goes for the wings. However when I have a craving for wings, they do it for me. Crispness varies by ship or maybe cook on duty at the moment. Sometimes they are more moist compared to other times and their idea of hot (spicy) isn't the same as mine. Playmakers hot is very hot. No so with room service wings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care if there is an upcharge, I need hot crispy wings and a pitcher of Stella or Dos Equis. "Sometimes" it's better for ME than gourmet cuisine.😉 My husband often said that I was such a cheap date "at times" LOL. I usually order mine at Taco Mac with three mile island sauce! Edited October 17, 2019 by Judyrem I will call down to roomservice and talk to the "cook". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Buffalo is the only place that knows how to make great wings. No offense, but it doesn't take much skill. ...and it's not like chicken is somehow a local cuisine to Buffalo.

tomservo Posted October 18, 2019 #20 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Has the quality of the food from room service gotten any better as a result of the charge? Or is it just a money grab? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
