Windjammer food

Just curious as to what is the protocol for the dirty dishes? Do you return them to WJ' date=' call the room service number or leave them in your room until your next steward visit? Our upcoming will be our first and would like to know what the polite thing to do is.[/quote']

 

Just leave them in your room. They will magically disappear.

We haven't done it before, but I am betting it gets done a lot next time around because we will have our 9 year old with us. I personally don't like them outside rooms in the hall, but that is one of those "to each their own".

I think I would do this before leaving it outside my door. Unless I don't want to be disturbed.

[Mark-Sheffield]

To be honest we have left dishes outside our room on occasions as well as leaving them for thr steward to remove. I suppose outside your room they do get removed quicker due to staff walking past.

Some ships have a kick in at your door. We have put stuff out if it is not in the way. Usually we find it is easy to leave it on the desk or coffee table.

 

It is great to be able to take food or drinks where ever you want, but I couldn't believe people leaving glass at the edge of a whirlpool. It is usually not hard to walk to a table or bench somewhere.

 

Safety should always be considered.

We just got back off Anthem of the Seas yesterday. I was stopped coming out of the Windjammer and told I could not take my Lemonade out of the restaurant. This was after eating dinner there. The crew member said that it was now their policy that food and drink was not to be taken out of the windjammer.

I think this is just in the evenings as I saw people taking food and drink out during the day.

I don`t know if this is a new policy or just a overzelous employee. ;)

That's a blow! At the end of each evening hubby is despatched to get glasses of milk and cookies to enjoy while we watch a movie in our cabin. It's always a lovely end to the day ☺

They might be quietly trying to start what Norwegian did. They tried to stop people from taking food out of the restaurants to get them to pay a fee for room service. It backfired. Let RCI try that stuff and see what happens.

I would take it on deck for the movies by the pool, since they don't provide popcorn, but the Aquatheatre is stadium style seating, isn't it?

 

For what little its worth, we sat in the aquatheater one night watching a movie and when the bartender took our order, we asked if there was popcorn available and he brought us some.

I knew I liked the Oasis class ships for a reason. It will be a couple of years before I can sail on one, I think.

We never put them in the hall your room steward will pick them up.

 

Last cruise, we kept finding trays of dirty dishes and related trash just outside our door. This kept happening day after day. Finally, somewhere around Day 4 on our cruise we happened to be coming up the hallway at just the precise moment when our neighbor was putting HIS dirty tray outside our door. We watched him leave his cabin, walk to our door, sit the tray on the floor just outside our door, then walked back to his cabin! When we got to the cabin, I picked up his tray, carried it back down to his cabin, knocked on the door, and when he answered, I handed it to him and said "here, I think you dropped this by our door."

 

Never found another tray outside our cabin. ;)

Good for you!

 

Some people are just plain tacky.

It is done everyday, no problems. A lot of people carry food out to eat on the pool deck.

 

I see people bringing food outside to the pool area all the time. Can't see any reason why taking it to your room would be an issue. Its not something I would do but can't imagine why it would be an issue for others.

The only time we were prvented from taking food out on deck was on a cruise out of California, due to some state law. During the period when we were withing some specific distance from land, we could not have food outside.

 

 

California has VERY strict rules about bringing fruit in and out of the state-- but whether the food is on deck or in the windjammer, it's still ON the ship. I'm a little surprised to hear that it's an issue.

Who knows, the rules could have changed. Our experience was on Mariner back in 2009 & 2010.

That's ludicrous.

I have been told no to brining food into the vcl of othe bars at night. I sometimes want to grab the game sushi for a late night snack with others so instead I just leave it in the room for later. Way back when on the jewel I was even offered a tray to help carry back to my room.

"vcl"? What' s that?

I think it's what you may catch if you don't use the hand sanitizer when you enter the windjammer.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Duh!!!

 

And I spent all that time on the dance floor there the last time I was on EOS.

 

Them not allowing food there seems fairly reasonable. There are plenty of other places onboard to eat.

[Rala]

You can take food or drink anywhere including casino and any show.

we know you "can", but just because you can, doesn't mean you should. I would not want to be seated at a show next to someone chowing down on a big plate of spaghetti and meatballs or whatever, would you?:eek::D;)

We leave them in the room. Or if we are coming out of the room and see our steward, we go back and give the dishes to him.
