loman Posted May 12, 2020 #3 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Didn't somebody mention something about setting up cooking stations in the windjammer , where you cook up your own food ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillHoo Posted May 12, 2020 #7 Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) The answer is ROBOTS! And Voice activated Automated Dispensers. Mashed potatoes dispensed from a hose nozzle. Eggs dropping from a chute. Steaks moving on a conveyer. Everyone gets a set of bio-degradeable, disposable gloves that dissolve when they get blown overboard into the salt water. Tables have dividers making them into mini-booths. They get sprayed down and wiped after use. Or maybe separated by paper curtains that get changed out. The whole Windjammer becomes one big cafeteria line. RCL will take lunch ladies out of retirement! THIS IS THE FUTURE! Keep the line moving and all will be well.

sun_lovin!1 Posted May 12, 2020 #8 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I thought I had read that the food in the buffets would be served by a server at each station. Seems like the most logical way to handle it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mek Posted May 12, 2020 #12 Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) No more meals served anywhere on the ship - I heard all balconies were going come equipped with a grill. Those in OV's and insides will have a fridge and have to eat cold cuts. Edited May 12, 2020 by mek 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to include the automat, but you would have to press a button and pull open a door. Who knows whether the prior person licked the door handle! A conveyor would be less touchy with everything in a blister pack box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillHoo Posted May 12, 2020 #20 Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) I went to the one in NYC (Automat) before they closed it up, I think around 1999 or 2000. Did not see anything I wanted to eat. Other than that, it was depicted in a few Bugs Bunny cartoons Edited May 12, 2020 by BillHoo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
