Was it something you already knew you liked, or was it something new you tried while in your cruise? Do you have a favorite food theme night? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FionaMG 663 Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 The curries and, for dessert, the hot bread pudding. Yum. ashonthesea 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Roullade desserts, which I couldn't really find on Harmony last trip, or small "chocolate sensation" desserts. I must also vote for a made-to-order omelette at breakfast. ashonthesea 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WAAAYTOOO 11,103 Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Boy I’m gonna hear about this one....but I actually like the hamburgers in the WJ. When I’m just looking for a “bite” I usually grab one. While they don’t look all that appealing (I’ll concede that), they taste pretty good.

MelKaps 142 Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 As a picky eater....I love the cookies: chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, mudslide, etc. I also like the omelette station. On Adventure of the Seas last December, we received a pager so I wasn't waiting around for my omelette and was able to eat other food in the meantime. Also, their pasta is pretty good. I think it is because of all the olive oil. Their chicken burgers/sandwiches were really good, but I only found it during dinner time. Lastly, I love their french fries and their vegetables. I do have to say though, the buffets on Celebrity Cruises are far superior to Royal Caribbean. Royal Caribbean has almost the same food every single day as opposed to Celebrity where they change it up, but still have all the staples. ashonthesea 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you're really lucky, there might be enough folks of Indian descent on your sailing to get ONE item that changes daily. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kittysoul 170 Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 I am intrigued now about all of the comments about how great the Indian food is onboard ..... something i never would have even thought of... i guess I will have to try it! lol RWDW1204 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SPS 452 Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 I can't remember what they are called, but, every time I go into the Windjammer, I like to get these thin crispy chips that they have available. Fresh made and not potato or corn. I think they may even be apart of the "Gluten Free Corner". Anyone know/remember what these are? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If they are over by the hot food section they may be papadum which are typically made with lentil or rice flour and can be gluten-free. SPS and ashonthesea 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you go and do WJ reconnaissance every night, @Matt , you will notice that WJ has a different theme every night, this is also carried out some what during the day also, but I'm not the master, Matt is. My last cruise everyone on the Anthem GC was doing a reconnaissance for Mongolian night for a certain individual @Lovetocruise2002. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pezgirl 41 Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 I really only liked the Indian items and then I would also make a chili/cheese hot dog sometimes. The fried chicken was not very good at all. ashonthesea 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fairlynew 339 Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 I’m not a buffet fan in general but I was intrigued by a mention of French night on someone’s blog. I really like French cuisine. Is this a “ regular “ menu in the windjammer? If so, is it listed in the cruise compass? Also, I’ve seen mention of a chocolate night-who doesn’t love that? Is that listed in the compass? As always, Thanks!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bokx2 7 Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 I generally go to the MDR or specialty dining for dinner and lunch. WJ is usually for breakfast for me and I love the made to order eggs. From observation, a lot of the galley staff are south asian (primarily of Indian and Pakistani) decent, hence the amount and quality of the Indian food - curries and papadum.
