Where else to go to eat on boarding day other than windjammer?

Windjammer is the recommended place.

Get in line and wait....

Park Cafe should be open around noon.

If you are among the first on, the WJ is not busy. We boarded Serenade around 11:10 am and actually had to wait for WJ to open at 11:30. The front doors were closed but since we knew the ship we went up a deck and came down the outside stairs, sat at a nice outside table, and waited comfortably. It was not busy until an hour later.

The WJ on Radiance-class ships is the perfect size and honestly, the only time we found it to be madness was on departure morning (as usual and as expected). :)

Park Café may be open, but for us it just didn't fit the bill. We only ate there twice and that was for snacks, not meals.

Enjoy your cruise.

I'm a die hard first on board wind jammer...

There's nothing like it that says, Hey, I'm on a Cruise!

Love the craziness........

The crazier the better in my opinion.

Giddy up!

Robinola, your post just made my night. Talk about looking at the bright side of things! Instead of complaining about the lines, it's kind of fun to imagine it as the first rodeo of the trip...much more exciting. :D

ROFLOL!! Winning!

Eat a late breakfast, and skip the feeding frenzy altogether!

Which ship will you be on?

When boarding the Allure, we went to Solarium Bistro for our first lunch. Yummy!

serenade.

Well, on Serenade embarkation, you have free lunch options at Windjammer or Park Cafe.

Or you can pay for lunch at Rita's Cantina.

Enjoy your cruise.

since we are talking wind jammer. is it wrong to skip someone later on the buffet line if you dont want anything in the line say hotdogs and hamburgers towards the front. but you only want some fries at the end and no one is there yet?

Harooni,

There are different sections: soups, salads, pasta, etc.

It is ok to go to whichever section you like, in no particular order. However, it is best to queue patiently within a particular section.

Enjoy your meals.

We opt of a lat breakfast/early lunch shore side prior to boarding. A Bon voyage treat before we officially start our vaca.

If there's a continuous line to the item you want, then I wouldn't butt in. However, it's typical for there to be breaks in the line.

yes i agree, there was a long break as she was taking her time, but i guess annoyed that i "cut" her at the end. it was day 1 so i didnt say anything but sorry as to enjoy my time and technically i did cut in i guess.

Not a big deal. Looks like you got one of those people who are constantly searching for ways to be offended.

That's the way I am, but when we started cruising with a friend, she could easily be distracted by the shiny things Royal puts in the way. On Jewel in 2012 we were among the first 20 on board, but there was a table outside the WJ to sign up for spa services and it had too many distractions! I should have left them behind!
