Royal Caribbean Windjammer Buffet Dinner Tour (4K)

- Опубліковано 10 січ 2022
- Check out what food to expect at the Windjammer buffet aboard the Royal Caribbean Odyssey of the Seas cruise ship! We are finally back cruising and are happy to present this comprehensive tour of the popular Windjammer Marketplace café, including what has changes Royal Caribbean implemented versus what we experienced before the shutdown due to the global pandemic. All of the food you see in the video are INCLUDED at no extra charge with your cruise fare.
We were impressed by the selection- there was something for everyone, including vegetarian/vegan, gluten-free offerings, and even a kid's corner as well featuring burgers, hot dogs & fries (adults are welcome to take food from there too). There was even fried chicken & waffles one night. It was the Royal Comeback indeed.
Some of our favorite foods from the dinner buffet included:
* Jerk Chicken
* Roti Station
* Various Indian Curries
* Italian Meatballs
* Osso Buco
* Chestnut Truffle Risotto
* Churros Station
* Crepes Station
* Donuts Station
* Garlic Shrimp (too bad only 1 night)
* An unique dessert named "Brookie" (Combination of Brownie & Cookie)
* All the fruits & veggies, including Goldenberries & Dragonfruit on select nights
Shoutout to the hard-working crew members who serve the food, plus all the chefs/cooks behind the scenes as well! This was from our late December 2021 cruise aboard the Odyssey of the Seas during a 8 day Caribbean Christmas cruise. Check out our playlist of videos from the cruise for more:

I have missed you. I love watching your wife taste the food. She is all about the food and experience not about her nails and showing off. I will never go on a cruise cause I am elderly and deathly afraid of water (big water...childhood trauma). Lol. Happy cruising. Be safe.
Thank you so much! She appreciates your comments 😊. Take care and stay safe!
The lady's descriptions are clear, direct, and very helpful!
Thank you so much! 😊
First video of the new year and was great! The most comprehensive food cruise hotel channel out there! And what I really appreciate is you taking the time and labeling the various food that's out there thank you for all that you do!🎉🌈💙🌎
Thank you very much- we really appreciate it! 😊 It is quite a bit of work but we're always happy to hear that it is helpful! 🙂
Thank you for the huge amount of time you spent photographing and editing.
It's our pleasure- thank so much for the comment! 😊
Thank you for your hard work compiling the photos of dishes and thier corresponding titles in this video. The food looks good. I will be going on one of these Royal cruises soon. 👍😉
It's our pleasure- thanks for your comment! 😊 Have a wonderful cruise!
You guys have the best descriptions for food, very clear and not rushed!
Awesome- thank you so much! 😊
I wish I could experience living at least 6 months in a cruise ship. Not so much to experience oceanic travel but the privilege of a leisurely cruise ship lifestyle.
Royal Caribbean knows how to do food RIGHT. Cruised with Princess for the first time back in September, and the food was horrible in every venue. Everyone aboard was complaining. I’m staying loyal to Royal. Great video!!!
Thank you very much! 😊 Yeah hopefully the dip you saw in Princess food quality is temporary, but yeah the Royal Caribbean buffet was still quite good!
Excellent Video!
Thank you! Cheers! 🙂
Wow that’s a lot of good food and their endless of choices of desserts are all looking so pretty delicious! Thank you for putting so much work into naming the dishes which is so helpful and awesome. I always love how your videos give everyone a chance to see each dish on the buffets. Thanks again and please keep bring more of these great videos.💕👍👍👍
Thank you! Yeah it is a lot of food, and they try to put out different ones nightly too which is great. Thanks for watching & commenting as always! 😊
Good to see the buffet is open again for dinner! The variety of food is just amazing! 🥰🥰🥰
Yes it was- thanks for watching & commenting! 🙂
Thank you for such a informative video. So much food the choices seem endless.
Our pleasure! Their selection was excellent- something for everyone. Thanks for the comment! 😊
Great Video LOVED the soothing music
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment! 😊
Thank you for all the work you put into your videos. I appreciate you going the extra mile to do the tastings and give an honest review. Thank you. I'm cruising vicariously through your videos as I'm unable to be vaccinated so who knows if or when ill cruise again. Thank you again😊
You're very welcome- thank you so much for watching & commenting! 😊 Hopefully cruise lines will relax the requirements sooner than later!
Thank you so much. Your video helped my husband and I plan our cruise. Great mix of talking and just showing us the food. It all looked amazing. Nice editing!
Thank you so much! Very happy to hear that it's helpful! 😊
Wow, thank you very much for the effort to put this video together. I'm a longtime Norwegian cruiser but thanks to this video I'm going to have to try Royal based on the food alone!
Our pleasure! Yes Royal had some nice selections! We like NCL too and look forward to cruising with them again in the future.
Amazing video as always. Can’t believe I missed this one. Though haven’t been on RC (yet!), definitely on the bucket list.
David, your still food photography is incredible. Truly drooly (is that a word?). And I love the music bed you selected.
Joanna is lovely as ever. Brooke “Choose both!” lol.
Thanks again for a half hour of joy on a not great day. Hope to bump into you on a ship someday. Be well!
Brad- thank you so much for the kind comments as always! 😊 Glad you enjoyed the video. Take care and hope you have a great day!
An excellent tutorial, I especially enjoy the walk by, then your own thoughts on the various preparations available,.Bravo&Blessings from S&T

Wao that was such an informative and fun video to watch! I felt like I was transported to the cruise! Thanks a lot for this wonderful video
👍
Thank you so much- glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Good afternoon Joann & David, so great to see you back on the sea. Also that self-serve buffets are slowly appearing again. When we were on Celebrity Millennium in November, the crew were serving which was OK with us. The food in both the Oceanview Cafe and the MDR were creative, plentiful and very tasty. The only entrée Jill did not like was a beef with way too much gorgonzola melted cheese on it. We did try escargot, baked Alaska, Waldorf salad, beef bourguinon, and squid (eeew). We're looking forward to our June 2022 Celebrity Summit 10 night cruise to Bermuda. Let's see what the virus throws our way next. Hi from Bob and Jill in Connecticut
Hi Bob & Jill! Thanks for sharing your experience on the Celebrity Millennium. The Oceanview buffet there sounds even better than what we've just experienced on the Odyssey! We definitely didn't get escargot at the buffet 😋. We remember the Summit well- great ship and crew- you guys will will have a great time!
Amazingly filmed. Thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it- thank you so much for the comment! 😊
The lemonade ❤
wow, the desserts look amazing, i would like to try them all
Some good desserts there for sure 😋
Nice video. Great food review, it all looked so good. Thanks and take care.
Thank you very much for watching & commenting! 😊 Take care!
The food on cruise 🚢 ships are amazing. I really miss that the most.
Agree 100%! 😋
No BS. Just simple enjoyable vdo. Congrats
Glad you enjoyed it- appreciate the comment! 🙂
My goodness. Its all so good.
They had some good food there!
Thank you so much for your video. I have a Gluten, egg, and lactose allergy. This helps greatly !
You're very welcome- glad it was helpful! Thanks for taking the time to comment 😊
Nice video. Looks like a lot of good food.
Lots of tasty offerings for sure- thanks for the comment! 🙂
thank you for showing there is vegetarian and vegan food options. My wife and I are going on are first cruise in a few week she been nervous since she is vegetarian.
Happy to hear it- thanks for the comment! 🙂 Have an amazing time on your first cruise- it's going to be so much fun! 🥳
Wow thats a lot of food 😊😊🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Plenty of choices for sure!
Yeah!🥳🎊 You are back on the cruise ships! We recently did a back to back on Oasis. I wasn’t brave enough to try the goat curry though.😱
Thanks- we're really happy to be back cruising for sure! Was the Windjammer buffet food on the Oasis similar to what was in the video?
@@TravelTouristVideos We did eat there much we like the Solarium Bistro. Saw the goat on the menu outside though. What did it taste like?
It was a little gamey, but the curry flavor was good 🙂
Try it. Goat curry is a staple dish in the Caribbean. Sadly too many use mutton, not goat.
Thorough 👍
Thanks! 🙂
excellent video. Done year ago. Now you can serve yourself but buffets probably the same. Deciding to eat ocassionally at buffets are nice ...lunch at buffets ...this time 11/4-11/11th we have grand suite, normally I eat by myself breakfast husband sleeps late but being in GS I can order breakfast and eat myself before we leave for excursion or other days.
Thanks! Grand Suite sounds really luxurious- have a wonderful cruise! 🙂
Looks good
It was- thanks for the comment!
This is wonderful, thank you. Was there a good selection for lunch as well? We tend to enjoy the MDR for dinner but always Windjammer for lunch! Thank you!
You're very welcome- thanks for the comment! There was a pretty good selection for lunch too! We'll be doing a lunch video in the next week so stay tuned!
Wow, Windjammer looking good! A lot of unique dishes. Were the unique items in the MDR the same night too?
They did a good job having slight variations here and there so. We'll be doing a MDR food video so stay tuned!
Always try the soup.
I was going to do the traditional dining but the buffet looks too delicious :)
If you have the early seating, you can, if you're not full already, go to the buffet afterwards and see if anything looks interesting 🙂
Im curious to know if the menu for Windjammer/MDR is very different for RC ships sailing from Australia to South Pacific? Your video is lovely. ❤
Thank you! 😊 It should be pretty similar though they will feature regional specialties here and there.
I assume you've eaten often at the MDR and other restaurants so that eating at Windjammer every night wasn't a problem. I'll be on this ship in April and appreciate the video.
You're very welcome- have an amazing cruise on the Odyssey!
I think you've changed my mind about getting the dining package everything looks great. Does the main dining room keep the same food theme as the buffet? This is my first RC.
I don't think there was much of a theme going on, but they do rotate the food so there is variety. Be sure to check out our main dining room videos from this cruise too! Dinner: ua-cam.com/video/OlE2g7t05W4/v-deo.html Lunch (only available on sea days): ua-cam.com/video/x2gjxiT8ul0/v-deo.html
very awesome am DANIEL , from venezuela
Thank you! 😊
Great share! I wonder if guests able to get the juice at the windjammer to be filled to our own tumbler? It would be nice to chill at the balcony while sipping the fresh juice. 😊
Thanks! 🙂 You sure can! Though for sanitary reasons they won't let you use your own bottle to refill- you would have to use a new glass every time, and then pour it into your tumbler.
@@TravelTouristVideos thanks for the reply! More reasons for not buying the bev package! 🤣
Yumyum
😋
Good video, what time did you go for dinner as the buffet looks empty, or was this a limited capacity cruise?
I have just booked my first royal caribbean cruise, seeing the food makes me think I am not leaving the buffet.
Thank you! That was at around 7 PM to 7:30 PM. This was over Christmas a couple months ago, so yeah not quite full capacity yet, but still quite a few guests.
Wow.......🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 🍷
💯😋
I love all of your shirts! Where do you get them? (The ones with the holes in them) 💕
Hi Chanara! Sorry for my late response. Those are Athleta Oxygen tops long sleeves. They are super comfortable and light weight tops.😊
Thanx alot for sharing. Cant wait to go in May. Did you need to take a covid test before entering the ship?
You're very welcome- have a great cruise! Yes you do need to show a negative test result for COVID 2 days before boarding. It could change in May but probably not, but Royal will keep you updated on the protocols.
@@TravelTouristVideos ok thank you very much!
wow looks good makes me hungry lol lov eit tho
Thank you! 🙂
I like your commentary ... but I LOVE your earrings !! 😆 lol
😊 thank you!!
5:40 omg that ice cream. Why is nobody taking lemon and the mint one... bruh. Its the best
Wow, your son is all grown up.
He's growing very fast- eats plenty 😁
Hey Joe Jerkoff IT’S CURRY GOAT
Shout out to the handsome man at the back, my son🤩
We thank him and all the other crew members for their wonderful service!
Delicius deserts 🥰
Yes! And they have a big selection too! 😋
@@TravelTouristVideos since it's a buffet... well.. there's no rules on how many you can take 😊😊
No need to know why I say that 😂
Yup take as much of favorite foods for sure! 😋
@@TravelTouristVideos
Yeeee so I will snap my fv desserts ... and food.. and mby take on those 2kg I need lol.. 😔😂
Sailed the Odyssey of the Seas on Dec 18, 2022. I found the Windjammers food selection and quality isn't the same. I'm guessing cut backs due to Covid is the reason.
We have to agree to a certain degree. We noticed there wasn't anything fancy at the buffet unlike our past Royal cruises, and this is pretty much their newest ship. But overall the variety was still quite good and enjoyable.
were the vegan items labeled or did you ask? planning an RC cruise next month!
They were labeled. Have an amazing cruise!
I've watched a couple of your videos so far, and I've come to notice something, so I gotta ask, does your wife eat any with her hands? 😂 I totally get eating a steak, chicken, and etc. With a fork & knife but a meat patty, and butter chicken +roti, she has crossed a line 😭 , but no hate thought honestly, i just found it funny and surprising.
Yeah we prefer not to touch food with our hands, so when it comes to finger food it could seem a bit odd 😁
Everything looks amazing. I would have enjoyed hearing you talk about some of them instead of the music....
Do you remember the hours of the buffet? How late does it stay open in the evening
It is open from 6 to 9 PM 🙂
No doubt rcc have the best buffet of any cruise line
If you could only eat at Windjammer vs MDR for dinner, which would you choose?
Would have to pick MDR since they typically have better food there. It's usually a good idea to get to the MDR 5 to 10 minutes before opening for the fastest service.
Proper Chips in the Fish and Chips I am impressed but not with paying for the Tea and Coffee that is free on the P&O ships at the Buffett Horizon restaurant but you do pay for the Costa Coffee at various venues on the ships
The regular tea and coffee are free but yes the premium ones like espresso/latte cost extra. Thanks for the comment!
When did you sail and was it open at night again. Just clarifying
This was just from a few weeks ago- it was during Christmas
The desserts on our RC cruise in the buffet were awful but fantastic in the main dining room.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Are the drinks tea cofee and fruit juice free
They sure are, except at the bar where if they are selling freshly-squeezed juices and premium coffee
Do you ever eat in the Main Dining Room? If so, what type of food do they offer?
Yes- every night. Stay tuned for a video on the main dining room food 🙂
wow! if I take this cruise I'd become in Dr. Now patient! I'd eat 24 hours a day!
Lol lot's of food options for sure! 😋
A lot of Vegan stuff 👍👍👍🇹🇹🇹🇹
We liked how the vegan foods were clearly labeled!
Hi! I'm new to your channel
Thank you very much for subbing! 🙂
is it allowed get food from buffet and eat in room instead of dining area? still anxious of the possibility getting covid. it will be my first time on a cruise
Absolutely- you can bring the food from buffet back to your cabin. I once brought the dessert back to my cabin from the main dining bc I really wanted my favorite dessert but was too full at the time, and would like to eat it later. 🤣 They were ok with it. Also, You can wear a mask if you enter be a crowded room if that make you feel more comfortable regarding covid. I have been on a few cruises already and it’s all good.🙂
Absolutely- not just the buffet but any other restaurant as well. Have a great time! 🙂
Thank you!!
When will there be the LifeBoats? I misssssssssssss them so much 😭😭😭
I'll see what I can do in the next few days 🙂
@@TravelTouristVideos I'm curious 🥰🥰
It's been 2 hours... and its 00.38..... 12. January 2022.. and I can still not sleep.. cuz headache 😭 :p
I gained 25 pounds just watching your video
Lots of good eats! 😋
Never really like watching people eat other then that good video
I'm sorry, I'm from Argentina, and the fact that you eat a Churro with a fork is hilarious to me, in my country chroo are street food, I eated with my hand in a corner, jajaja
Easier to get a small bite that way and someone else can share it 😁
Rhapsody of the seas buffet desayuno
Aquí está nuestro video de desayuno buffet de Royal Caribbean: ua-cam.com/video/0-5HT6mxk7Y/v-deo.html
Go for the Wonder of the Seas
Yeah hopefully in the next year or so
Im first 🙋🏼♀️
Yes you are! 😊
@@TravelTouristVideos always.. as long as the videos doesnt come when I sleep (at night) 😂😂 or if youtube doesnt notificate me...
Example: when you reply to my comments.. bruh.. that's why I on any reason only answer like... days after....
I only get when ppl like or make that heart 😂😂🤦♀️🤦♀️ but whyyyyyyy ....
When I'm lucky.. I answer 2sec after you reply.. cuz I'm on 🥰
Who is that in the video at 18:00?
It's us trying out the food 🙂
@@TravelTouristVideos ohh haha. When I saw the person in mask at 18:00 I didn't know if they were someone you were cruising with or maybe a stranger you had to share your table with....
Which leads me to ask if going on a cruise do we have to share a table with strangers?
Lol that's our son- he goes to every cruise with us. You definitely don't have to share a table. At the buffet you can sit at whichever empty table you'd like. For Royal Caribbean main dining room, you'd specify the table size when you're booking the cruise, and for dinner you will have an assigned table you go to every night. You can always ask to change your table if you don't like the location.
@@TravelTouristVideos oh ok good to know. My parents are Asian and they don't speak much English. Wouldn't it to awkward for others or my parents so if my family did go I think sitting with just my family is fine.
Jewellery should be plain and simple unless you are competing with the Jones's.
love your videos but you need a better camera to focus
Thanks! Yeah we're aware about the focus breathing issues here- we've addressed it with a new camera in the newest videos.
Take away the Vegan and the Indian dishes, and the menu looks pretty bare. I used to work for RC and left just before the cuts hurt the brand too much. That was a good decision,
Yeah we did notice some cutbacks, but overall the selection was still pretty good. Are you working with a different line now?
How old is your son now?
He's 11 now!
@@TravelTouristVideos uhhhh hes getting older and older :D. Mby I can learn him my rules about lifeboats :D
He likes ships & lifeboats too!
@@TravelTouristVideos
Oh god... he should learn my rules 👍
MBY I CAN HEEHEEHEHEEHEHEHHE 😊😊
La brule no se ve bien
0:28 who didnt wash hands before eating at a restaurant 😳🥺
Atleast... .... nvm
(Ok.. I always disinfected my hands... u know what I mean XD) 😂😂
Yes in the past you can just use sanitizer, but now they make sure you wash your hands before entering the buffet.
@@TravelTouristVideos good job
Most of the meats looked very dry.
Poor shaky cam video combined with a lot of stills = not a lot of views. Sorry :(
No Blue Cheese. Aweeee hell no
I'd be super pissed if almost everything at my dinner was all Indian food for basically the entire trip.
in my opinion, too much indian food, they should do korean bbq or even a ramen station. be much better
Hate seeing food wasted. Just to get a plate and have one or two bites to say that you tried it is not very appealing. At least divide up the plate with your spouse or partner.
We do share 🙂
Wonderful but please don’t talk with food in your mouth
Honestly that was the most basic buffet I've ever seen
Where's the ...fried chicken/fish...meat loaf... roast beef...frog/crab legs.... sweet potato....green beans???? The chili looks hideous. Toss it overboard.....get a new chef and menu.
Not for me until they do away with the ridiculous mask and other related nonsense. At the least, revise to make them optional.
It's the weight loss cruise. You grab a big plate of delicious food, discover its virtually impossible to eat through a mask, attendants remove your full plate and boom...you didn't ingest a single calorie!
