No breakfast at JR on Adventure.  Only on Oasis class ships.

 

Included dining options: Main Dining Room, Windjammer (buffet), Cafe Promenade.

 

Peek-a-boo bridge.  Ice rink.

Johnny Rocket lunch/dinner was $12.95 on Mariner last weekend

That is appalling.

I would have to say our (included) breakfast at Rockets on Oasis was probably my least favorite meal aboard ship. It wasn't terrible, but the whole operation and seating seemed a little awkward and uncomfortable somehow, and I had better breakfasts in the Windjammer. So no loss to us that this option is not offered on Adventure. I can't say you are missing out on some amazing experience.

JR used to be included but teenagers took over and they had to start charging. They keep raising and raising the prices but apparently its still not scarring away the teens.

My impression was that the people assigned to work at JR really did not want to work there.

They only use JR as a "free" breakfast venue on the HUGE ships that don't have adequate space for breakfast.  So, it's not available on your ship.  All of the breakfast food is basically the same, no matter where you get it.

Yep, it's getting ridiculous.

JR's does have smothered and covered potatoes

 That is unique

 

Order it with twice the veg, half the potatoes,  and an egg on top

I would hope that they're not scarring teens -- scars are for life!

With that spelling snark out of the way, I have NEVER seen JR's full on any ship I've been on (and I've been on a few!).

Not anymore.  Last time I saw JR busy was on the last day of the cruise (sea day) back when all C&A members had a free coupon for JR.

I remember when it was free (except for beverages) to everyone. Of course, we had to try it. It was around 2:00 on a port day and waited in line for nearly an hour. It was NOT worth the wait and only went back maybe once or twice even with the C&A coupon. Used to give them away. Definitely would never pay $12.95 for it.

We were on Harmony last week and tried JR for breakfast. They made a decent omelette and experience was nice enough early morning.  One disappointment was that they offered chili as an omelette ingredient and instead of true chili they served chili peppers! Not the same. Better option was Mini Bites on Deck 15.

That part was clear in our minds.

Is it a la carte on Anthem? I'm wondering if I can get away with a minimal order of, say, onion rings so I can get a milkshake with the beverage package.

[John&LaLa]

You can just go in and get a milkshake

That's good to hear. I've been told by other people that I need to make a purchase to get a shake on the bev package.

That requirement seems to vary.  Please report back.

Agree completely. They did seem to have just about the worst food service job and it was not a very fun venue for us or them.

Both my parents, my wife and I are sailing on the Indy at the end of this month around the Med, we have sailed on her before but not been the JR. I will try it this time and as we have the drinks package, will see if the milkshakes are included.
