Windjammer on Oasis 2nd formal night - crab legs -

I have four young adults that do not like lobster lol. My DH and I love lobster. On all of our cruises we have eaten all but one Meal in MDR. We are thinking about checking out the Windjammer for the Ocean Drive buffet for the second formal night. I have read that it offers Crab Legs and Shrimp. Everyone loves crab legs and shrimp..so can anyone tell me if they have eaten at the Windjammer on Oasis on the second formal night? Biggest question is how are the crab legs (hopefully served warm with butter) and are there a variety of types of shrimp such as fried, cocktail, scampi, etc. any limit on the crab legs? Can we get seconds lol?

Also, we need to know if we still need to dress up since it is a formal night? Just don't want to dress down if everyone else will still be more formal.

Thanks!

Windjammer is always casual.

Another question about dinner at Windjammer.

I read somewhere that at dinner, it is a sit down restaurant type deal with a menu. Is this correct? I haven't sailed RCCL in a while.

Always a buffet, but quieter at dinner. Never heard of crab legs being available.

Agreed on both points. :)

The Windjammer has many of same items as the MDR, a nice salad bar, carving station, and many other items, but I have never seen lobster, crab claws or shrimp.

I enjoy the atmosphere of dinner in the WJ! it's very relaxing, I can sit by the window while eating. I don't feel rushed and I can get exactly what I want. I'm not a seafood fan, so I have no knowledge of its offerings. but I can say that dinner is very informal

I have had crab legs in the buffet on Princess.

I think that trihawks may be thinking of that.

I, and others, have reported some rare sightings of lobster, however. ;)

There are shrimp in some of the preparations. I have not seen large cocktail shrimp, though.

The sit down part some people refer to is drinks. Some evenings the staff will refill drinks.

We did that last November on Oasis as we didn't feel like dressing up. They had a seafood theme night and had all kinds of shrimp dishes along with king crab legs and even lobster thermidor. If you were not a seafood lover they other selections as well. All served buffet style. No menus.

I believe I saw that the windjammer has the theme of Ocean Drive which was crab legs and shrimp plus other items. I saw this on a menu that was posted here on CC within the last 6 weeks.

Tomorrow is our second formal night on Oasis and we plan to scout out the WJ. I'll let you know if we see any crab legs, Alaskan or otherwise. If we see them we will also be eating them so our report may be a bit late tomorrow night.

Thank you so much!!! I love lobster but a milling to give in to crab legs if they have them.

Any idea if they do this on Freedom too? I would gladly trade lobster for crab legs.

A very popular review mentioned that Oasis had snowcrab legs and shrimp in the WJ on the 2nd night - in fact, I put it on my "tips" list for our cruise in Dec.

I'm wondering if anyone recently on Independence could verify if they have the crab legs on formal night? We are going this Oct and would love that.

None on Indy in March.

Oooohh, this sounds good!

If anyone can just check the WIndjammer the second formal night to see if they indeed have crab legs and shrimp or not. And please let us know! Thanks

I just got off Oasis on Saturday - they did indeed have crab legs on second formal night as well as mussels.

I also just got off the Oasis 😢 and we went to the Windjammer for a "snack" of crab legs, shrimp, and mussels on the 2nd formal night. I don't like buffets since I find people rather gross at them (sorry I have ocd), so my parents should've been suspicious when I suggested going there. Then we went to get changed for formal night in the MDR. It was lobster and prime rib night. Our waiter gave me both 😁, boy did I love him.

Just to note, there was a chef giving out the seafood and there was only one type of shrimp, but my aunt did find calimari. You could get seconds but I found the crab salty and with a lack of butter didn't desire anymore. Apparently, there was another seafood night I think the first formal night according to some in our group. Always keep an eye on the cruise compass and go check it out.

All this talk of the 2nd Formal night has me wondering about what they have on the First Formal night. Going on the Oasis in a few weeks. We really never go to the buffet at night but I have to say we might just try it this time. Less to pack.

Anyone know what they serve on the first formal night?

Thanks.

First formal night they had lobster tails - lamb chops and some sort of beef at the carving station.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to check this out for us. We were just wanting to have crab legs if possible since only 2 of the 6 like lobster. And, not having to dress up one night would be less to pack lol. Thank you!!!
