Oasis lunch

[OnceAMarineAlwaysAMarine]

When you first board Oasis to start your cruise, what venues are open for lunch other than Windjammer?

[DaniDanielle]

Park Cafe, Cafe Promenade, I think Solarium Bistro, El loco fresh should be open

[Ourusualbeach]

Add my favorite Portside BBQ to the list that is open.

We like to go to the Solarium Bistro to avoid the Windjammer crowd.

Park Cafe is a good choice too.

We always start a cruise at the Windjammer.

As do we.

 

Like to board early when it’s not crowded and head to the Windjammer kind of a tradition with us.

Our go to on all of the ships is Sorrentos.  The pizza isn't bad and it has never been crowded.  We have gone to the WJ and found it to be packed.

That used to be our tradition too but the Oasis class ships are really crowded up there so we broke off our tradition for that class. We still like the Windjammer first on other classes.

We never did that. We like Sorrento's so maybe we'll do that next time.

We mainly cruise on “ o “ class and are normally checked in onboard by 11.30 to 12.00 head straight to the Windjammer and never find it crowded then.

 

We are then normally out on deck or exploring within the hour.

Is it called a kummelweck simply because it is on a salty kummelweck roll?  I understand it includes slices of Roast Beef but everyone talks about it sooooo highly?  What else is on it? 

[RogerDodger247]

Yes, that is the reason for the name.  It's the roll and beef plus your choice of au jus, horseradish, mustard, or a mustard ragu (?).

I was on Oasis in June and tried it on two different days and the beef wasn't great.  I enjoyed the Park Cafe soup more.  But I have had them in the past and they were excellent.  So your luck may vary depending on the beef.  Doesn't hurt to try and there are other options at the Cafe if it's not a good day.

Whatever you want on it.  They slice meat per order, I always ask for thin slices with horseradish on each side of the bun and a little au jus.

It’s fine to bring your carryon with you, we always have ours and go to one of the specialty restaurants. I think they open around noon, check the app to

make sure.
