Lovetocruise2002 Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Anyone have pics of what El Loco offers for lunch (specifically on embarkation day)? Debating between there and CK.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 I'd probably go with CK even though CK lunch isn't my favorite meal there. Miami is super hot these days and if for no other reason than to stay in the A/C I'd probably go #teamCK Once the ship is at sea and there is a breeze El Loco Fresh may be cooler than the surface of the sun.

twangster Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 As far as pics, from the Symphony TA: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/boards/index.php?/topic/9684-symphony-ots-live-transatlantic-oct-28-2018-coming-to-america/&do=findComment&comment=89937 I can't imagine they have a different day one offering. The soft tacos are the real star of El Loco Fresh which I also found to be true on Navigator. I didn't like the Quesadillas as much.

By the time the cruise is over snow will have returned to Canada and the igloo lifecycle can repeat.

AshleyDillo Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 The toppings bar is pretty on point at El Loco Fresh...too bad on our sailing they didn't seem to know what tortilla chips were and didn't have them available. Pretty sure that was just an anomaly. If I was bored with CK lunches I would go there. Actually I would piggy it up and do both more than likely WAAAYTOOO, Cruzinfun, Lovetocruise2002 and 2 others 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You missed it last week when the group was on the look out for Mongolian Night in the WJ for Hubby.

jagnew Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 I found the El Loco Fresh offerings on Navigator to be pretty similar to the new offerings in the restaurants on CocoCay. It was definitely worth skipping the WJ hassle. Cruzinfun and Lovetocruise2002 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had a dollar for every time I've said, "I can't wait to travel in October when I retire," or "We will have to wait to do that once I retire." ie.

Of course I remember when I used to run the half marathon in January and we had crowd 3 and 4 levels... No longer! I really would like to go to the food and wine festival...

WannaCruise Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 El Loco Fresh is a great place for lunch. Even their plan quesadillas were really yummy....and that chocolate dessert . It's nice too since it's not far from the Windjammer so for one of our days, there was nothing that interested our DS so he grabbed food from Windjammer and the rest of us grabbed from El Loco.

Thanks Not a ton tbh. I do not eat chicken or beef and so had cheese quesadilla. They had made up burritos but these were both meat. But they also had nachos and I think if remembering correctly , make your own tacos so those could be veggie too. What I had though, was really good, and excited that Navigator include an El Loco Fresh (which we'll be on next month) mom2mybugs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
