Mushroom Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Newbie questions. Going on Harmony (first time with RCL). I understand there are 3 main dining restaurants. One is for fixed time and the other two are for my-time-dining. We signed up for fixed time. If I am interested in visiting the other 2 dining rooms, am I still allowed to go even I didn’t sign up for my-time-dining? Do I need reservation? First night – I have reservation for a show at 7:30 pm and I guess we should arrive at 7 to get good seats. Can I make it if I eat in the main dining room? What about Solarium Bistro? Or would you suggest just go to the buffet? If we don’t want to eat in the main dining room on any given night, do we have to call someone to request that? Thank you!

Not likely, but they all serve the same food, so there's no reason to visit the other two except from a design perspective. Breakfast will be served in one of them as well as lunch on sea days, so that might be a way to see them if those meals, which are open seating, are served there. 2. Are you early seating main dining? If so, it could be tight, but just let your serving know that you need to be done by 7 to make the show. 3. No, but if you're at a table with others, it is helpful to let your server know so that they don't hold up service waiting for you.

BrianAlt Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Also, it's one big dining room with multiple floors. You can wander if you like. Mushroom and DocLC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in the MDR, breakfast all cruise and lunch on sea days are always open seating? Are you still seated by a host or hostess, or do you just go grab a seat?

I prefer the Windjammer for breakfast, but the dining room for lunch. They have dinner very good dishes and an amazing salad bar. In some European itineraries with late departures or over nights in port, dinner will also be open seating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was not impressed with the menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They omlet station is my go to place in the Windjammer. Whatever you do, stay away from the precooked eggs. If you want scrambled eggs, get them at the omlet station. The fried eggs are safe, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get a scramble with omelet ingredients if you want. DocLC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 I love the Main Dining Room for breakfast - far more relaxed than the Windjammer, and serves what I like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floski Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 I think I read that the winjammehr on Oasis doesn't have an omelet station. I hope that's not true, cause big boy loves him a good ham/chz/shroom omelet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there is one in the Wipe Out Cafe, just below on Deck 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
