denamo Posted November 28, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Just off of an Allure cruise. There is no longer a menu listed above the ordering area. If you want to order a sandwich, these are all pre-made and then heated. The staff will point you to pre-made sandwiches in the case next to the soups as their "menu". Asked if a sandwich didn't have to include an item and was told no, all pre-made and have to take them as is. 🙄 Wipe Out Cafe now is an El Loco Fresh. Was very good when we ate there for lunch one day after an excursion. Miss they no longer offer breakfast here. Really did enjoy ordering breakfast there and enjoying the ocean views. See these changes as evidence of budget cuts. I know Royal will tell you this is to make service faster, but really think it's all about Royal cutbacks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted November 28, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I was already aware wipe out cafe menu changed to fresh. To me that's a huge plus. I hated wipe out cafe food. We have been wondering why they dont change the name. Sorry to hear the roast beef sandwiches in the cafe are no longer being made to order with the juice over them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loman Posted November 28, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Never cared much for the roast beef sandwich, but i liked the salad bar in the Park Cafe . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ozark_Kid Posted November 28, 2022 #4 Share Posted November 28, 2022 We used to get the roast beef first thing every cruise but the quality has been going down hill. After trying to eat one on Allure last month we decided no more. It was nasty. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the miscommunication....the roast beef is the only one still made to order. It's all of the other ones they previously had listed on the wall menu such as a cuban sandwich. Yes, like the El Loco Fresh menu better also. Edited November 28, 2022 by denamo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went to the CP cafe the 3rd of our October Oasis cruise and they were not ready at 12 PM. It took them some 10 minutes to get the beef out and the related breads and gravy. They did not trim any of the fat on the roast beef and our sandwiches were more fat than beef. Never went back to one of our favorite places for lunch. By the way, this is the 3rd cruise where no chips available in CP cafe. Speaking of cutting corners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mil76 Posted November 28, 2022 #10 Share Posted November 28, 2022 RIP Wipe Out Cafe Breakfast as it was a tradition for me. It was great for grabbing a quick bite on the way to early sessions on the Flowrider without the bedlam of the WJ. The made to order omelettes were a hidden gem. I agree that the post-breakfast offerings in Wipe-out were crap, but El Loco Fresh isn't any better. You basically go from school cafeteria quality cheeseburgers to school cafeteria quality tacos. I haven't been going to Park Cafe for the kummelfat sandwiches for awhile now. Sounds like they are doing their best to ruin the pre-amplification charm of Allure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelblu Posted November 28, 2022 #11 Share Posted November 28, 2022 We sailed Oasis in October, and now since Wipeout Cafe no longer, the only place to get a ready to order omelet is in the MDR. Was able to get freshly made omelets in the WJ on our February Allure sail. Ps. Someone posted that Johnny Rockets no longer offers freshly made omelets.

gdwest Posted November 28, 2022 #14 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I tried the roast beef sandwich on two different occasions on the Serenade last month.. both were horrible. Sad, in the past one of our favorites. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely had chips in Park Cafe on the October 9th sailing of Oasis. Beef was ready when they opened on boarding day too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JamesEM Posted November 29, 2022 #20 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I was on the Symphony for b-3-b in September and I tried a roast beef sandwich each of the 3 weeks and they were consistently bad, bad, Leroy Brown bad. However, the El Loco Fresh was very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
