sayvan Posted March 10, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Just boarded the Vision of the Seas and the line up to get into the Windjammer is backed up outside past the pool on deck 9. I’ve never seen anything like that before in all my cruises. Music on outside deck is great tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We grab a quick bite somewhere else…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdnewby Posted March 10, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 10, 2023 same here, on oasis last year it was crazy, just grabbed some quesadillas and chips at el loco, took it back to pool to watch kids play until we could get into rooms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rubyfisch Posted March 10, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Honestly, waiting until about 20 to 30 minutes after the rooms open also tends to greatly reduce the crowds ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything has a cause and effect. We’ve been cruising since mid January and this is our 5th ship during that time so a little hiccup is probably good for my weight… enjoy your cruise! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schlimazel_traveler Posted March 10, 2023 #11 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Does Vision still have an awkwardly-placed buffet station just inside the main doors, causing people serving themselves to block access for other people just trying to walk into the room? Both Grandeur and Enchantment figured out how to avoid that in an identical space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely just a reaction to quickly overcome something about the health inspection - I would hope they sort whatever the issue was and resume normal flatware. We had a similar "WJ delay" on Allure several weeks back after some needed cleaning and inspections due to previous Noro cases. Maybe 15 minutes, but I do suspect the line grew behind us and snaked out the hallway/decks. By 1pm, Solarium Bistro opened on time and took much of the load off WJ. No other notable delays the rest of the cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with the Windjammer Day 1 is that some people "set up camp" and plan to sit and relax until the captain announces that they've opened the staterooms. 5 hours ago, time4u2go said: Did they pass? Well, they stayed open, right? Seriously, I've never noted a health inspection score in any of the online restaurants -- do they have them like American restaurants do?
