landsear Posted August 10, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Hi everyone! I am considering booking the Allure for next fall. I've been on 3 Carnival cruises before this, my first time on another cruise line. I am researching the food options now. How does the Windjammer compare to the Lido? Is there something like the Mongolian Wok? What options are available typically there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyD Posted August 10, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Having cruised both Royal and Carnival, I would say the biggest difference is the setup. Royal ships are much more user friendly in terms of passenger flow because of the stations of food, rather than just a buffet line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yj2cute Posted August 10, 2015 #3 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I think it depends on the ship, but overall I would say I highly prefer WJ over Carnival's Lido. The Lido on Carnival Splendor was hideous, without exaggeration. While on the Breeze it wasn't as bad, but still not very good. And I'm not including the Pizza and Guy's Burgers in the Lido, just the inside buffet lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTruthCanHurt Posted August 10, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 10, 2015 while I think the RCCL food was slightly ( only slightly) better. I will say that in my experience. with the exception of the Allure. It was much easier finding a seat on carnival than it was on Rccl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted August 10, 2015 #5 Share Posted August 10, 2015 When we were on Oasis a couple of years ago, there was an Asian station every day. But not made to order, if that is what CC offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman-2 Posted August 10, 2015 #6 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I would go with the Windjammer for variety... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteukmcr Posted August 10, 2015 #7 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Very impressed by the lido offering on Carnival Valor. Much more free seating with it being on two floors. I found things I can't get on RCI such as Fish n chips, freshly made burritos, freshly made pizzas, and the freshly grilled burgers knock spots of RCI's appalling excuse for a burger in the WJ which usually sits for ages in a greasy tray under a heat lamp.
