May we all stay so slim after eating all of the delicious food you have tested and reviewed for us. Thank you for helping us to make decisions on what and where to eat on our cruise. Enjoy!
The food really looks good at the Windjammer. Thank you guys for helping us to know what to look for on all of these cruise ships. I appreciate you guys. Enjoy. Amen
All the food looks wonderful! Have never been on a cruise, being in such close proximity to so many people, the noise, the crowds, the kids!!! Not for me but loved your video!
Thank you very much! 😊 Yeah cruises can pretty crowded in some areas, but just about every ship we've been there are spots you'll discover that are more serene and not crowded at all. So hope you get to try it one day!
Thank you so much for your excellent reviews! New subscriber here. Your explanations are very clear and concise, and extremely helpful! Again, many thanks!
So happy I just finished my dinner when I came across your video tonight! I usually get so hungry watching you guys 😂😂😂😂 As always, thanks for sharing 😋😋😋🛳️🛳️
I was on Symphony of the sea last month on a Transatlantic cruise. I watch your videos dreaming of my next cruise. where can you try Indian dishes, get steak, roast beef and salmon. Not going to find that at Golden Coral with the leave RCL provides.
Thank you for sharing. We are on the same ship next august. Havent done a cruise in many years. Love RC buffets. The desserts looked awesome. But unfortunately i cant have them. Its going to kill me lol Hubby cant wait for the bread rolls RCL has the best rolls.
Our pleasure- thanks for the comment! 😊 Hopefully you'll be able to enjoy some sugar-free offerings. You guys picked a great cruise- lots of good food & entertainment await!
@@TravelTouristVideos Cant wait. We have another cruise before our RCCL one which goes to the med. Our other one is on Holland America around Spain. We have never been on Holland America so should be interesting. Going to Europe from Aus you have to make it worth while.
I want one of everything from Italian Night!! Starting with the focaccia and ending with cannoli. 🤣 I was sooo disappointed with the corn dog. ☹️ I fully trust Joann’s judgement so won’t be putting one of THOSE on my plate. Again, thanks for a very nice food tour!
It looks like a Korean corn dog which is very different than an American corn dog. Your videos are wonderful you and your wife do a great job describing the food.
I know right? Especially since there are lot of good food at the main dining room as well. At the buffet it helps to take little bit of a few items to try, and then get more if they're really good 🙂
Hello David and Joan...Nice Video. When is your next cruise from Galveston. Harmony of the seas on Dec 17th will be a great cruise, we love cruises 1 week before Christmas we have been on Independence, Liberty, Allure and Adventure one week before christmas GOOD TIMES
Hi Asif & Maria- thanks! Not sure yet- we usually book last minute, but Harmony looks like a great pick for a holiday cruise from Galveston for sure. There will be the new Carnival & NCL ships too.
Hello guys and I really enjoy your videos. Comparing this Buffet with the one on Cunard it doesn’t compare. Even though I’m not a prime rib person, I would have had the prime rib rather than a lot of the fried food. And they did have some good salads but I’m not wowed. Aloha and happy sailing
Aloha! Yup agree with you that though Royal may have slightly better selection, Cunard has the higher quality buffet food for sure. Thank you very much for the comment! 😊
Hey, woman, according to our schedule, after all your meal tasting spree youy should have exploded long time ago! And it would have been the most interesting part of the program!
We have cruised RCC long long ago. Most recently cruised on NCL at several different destinations. Seems the larger ships on NCL has more food variety. We are headed for HAL (Koningsdam) in Summer. In your opinion, what line has the best buffet food for options and quality?
Yes you're right- we also saw more variety on the larger NCL ships vs the smaller ones. As far as quality goes at the buffet, HAL has the edge over other cruise lines. Would love to hear what you think after your Koningsdam cruise!
We tried Disney about 10 years ago- really good food at the MDR. But the service too so long there that we never even had a chance to try out the buffet for dinner before it closed. We hope to cruise with them again, hopefully in the next two years!
@@TravelTouristVideos We cruised several of the med NCL ships in past years then the Joy in 2019. That had many more choices in the buffet. Last cruise was NCL Jewel and buffet was nothing very good. Looking forward to trying the HAL cruise. Many thanks!
Crab cake is listed in the description for the Welcome Aboard theme buffet on the daily schedule ("From buttermilk fried chicken to Maryland-style crab cakes..."), but we didn't see it. Have an wonderful cruise on the Harmony! If you get the chance let us know after your cruise if you saw crab cake. 🙂
Love the buffets on RCCL. I am on the same ship in August next year. I was looking at all the desserts. Yum. Key Lime Pie is my fav. Dont get it in Australia. Your going on a diet now, i will be on one when on board. Lol Just been diagnosed with diabetes. None of those delicous sweets for me Waah lol
I have a question for you lovely folks. Suppose we pay for an excursion but it is raining and we can’t take it. Will Carnival reimburse us for the excursion?
Hi Angela! Cruise lines will refund refunding the money if THEY cancel the excursion due to extremely bad weather or some other reason. Though many are a go despite rain, so make sure you find out the cancellation policy for the specific excursion, which is typically 48 hours. That's one of the reasons why for Caribbean cruises, we usually don't book excursions with the cruise lines, plus it's usually cheaper to get the same excursion once you get off the ship.
Yes actually- it was really good. But of course ultimately it depends on the individual masseuse. On embarkation day, most cruise ships will offer a free spa tour, during which they may offer to give you a sample massage. So you can book base on that as well.
@@TravelTouristVideos thanks for the reply. i hope to go on a cruise soon as i have never been on one yet. i have been wanting to go solo for the longest time. your videos help me decide. thanks for the help.
Yes if you plan on drinking more than 4 or 5 specialty coffees, teas, sodas, or freshly squeezed juices every day. If the ship has Johnny Rockets, then milkshakes are included as well.
I was on 2 Royal cruises last year including Christmas. I've decided to no longer cruise with Royal because of the food taste in the buffet and dining room. People I work with agree, they told me I was correct when they went on their Spring cruise and complained to Guess Services. If a dining experience don't matter to you without having to pay extra cruise on Royal. In the Main dining room I ordered a Filet from the Steakhouse and it wasn't the Quality I expected for an extra $20.00 BTW..I've been on 14 cruises, Disney and Carnival, 3 Royal...no more!
I’ll be honest. Nothing here really wows me - HOWEVER, that being said - salmon, prime rib, porchetta, strip loin, and pork ribs win me over every time. I think I could find enough things to keep me happy here. I’ve got a more adventurous palate, so I’m a little fussy about buffets. I feel like they offer a bit too many lunch foods for dinner, at least at the beginning, and way too many common dishes. Things like Bolognese and chicken parmigiana seem way too ho-hum to me. And “presentation is everything,” so they say. But I’m not fooled. You can make ham and fruit kababs look as amazing as you want, but I’m not fooled. It’s still fruit and meat, so what? 🤷♂️ 😂
Miami Florida good USA very easy no like no problem hahahaha matitindi agent ng mga yan cruise ship Pag kumain ur not passenger go to crew mess hahaha sisismangot Mr Wong crazy hahaha
Crew members will come around and change those out periodically. But yeah it's not the most sanitary, though most of the time there's a host at the front of the buffet who will direct guests to wash their hands first before entry.
@TravelTouristVideos Norwegian has the best food, followed by P&O for me. Carnival and Royal Caribbean have been the worst. I just went on RC Quantum of the Seas out of Brisbane. Food was shocking.
The food on the mega cruise ships only look good,if you have been a cruiser back in the 60's,70's and 80's..you will know the difference..The NY strip served is not real beef...the quality of meats ,fruits and vegetables is of the lowest quality..I was on The Independence of the seas in December and ended up eating at the paid restaurants..Breakfast is the only decent food served...
Yeah the foods were definitely better, even from just a few years ago. But the staff usually does a nice job of making some tasty dishes from the less expensive ingredients.
May we all stay so slim after eating all of the delicious food you have tested and reviewed for us. Thank you for helping us to make decisions on what and where to eat on our cruise. Enjoy!

Our pleasure- there was a lot of good food for sure! 😋 Thanks for the comment Katrina!
I enjoy your videos, the closeups of the food, the detailed descriptions, and your review upon tasting. I am enjoying vicariously with you!
Thank you very much- we really appreciate it! 😊
Thank you very much- we really appreciate it! 😊
I like her food reviews because she is actually honest about what is good or bad
Thank you very much! 😊
Great video. Can’t wait to see Part 2. The reviews by your wife are most helpful.

Great!!!. Got an idea of what to expect. Thanks for the video!!

Very well filmed. All the food looks so wonderful.
Thank you so much! 😊

Thank you very much! 😊 Sorry I forget- which ship did we meet you on?
Another great video. That food looked really good.

Looked delicious. Thanks for the review.
Quite a few tasty offerings for sure- thanks for the comment! 😊
We are Diamond level cruisers on RCI. We have never had anything but wonderful food and service.
💯
All the nights looked yummy!!! Thanks for sharing 😋😋😋
Yeah they had quite a few tasty dishes every night! 😋 Thank you very much for the comment! 🙂
I was on Symphony of the sea last month on a Transatlantic cruise. I watch your videos dreaming of my next cruise. where can you try Indian dishes, get steak, roast beef and salmon. Not going to find that at Golden Coral with the leave RCL provides.
Exactly! It's a good selection of well-prepared food for different tastes. We always look forward to the buffet on a cruise as well.
I agree with you Joann. I don’t enjoy salmon when it’s overcooked.
They did a good job on that salmon 😋
You guys amazing just love watching your videos! 😍😍😍
Thank you so much- we really appreciate it Susan! 🥰

Thank you very much for the comment Sally! 😊 Yes the Italian night looked good- wish we had more room to try but got too full from the main dining 😁
Looks Healthy Tasty
Agree 💯!
Nice Video David and Joan.
Thanks Asif & Maria! 😊
I'm so excited that me and my family are going on this boat in December 2023
Bahamas
It's going to be so much fun- have a great time! 🙂
It looks like a Korean corn dog which is very different than an American corn dog. Your videos are wonderful you and your wife do a great job describing the food.
Didn't realize it was a Korean corn dog- how interesting! Thank you so much for the comment- we really appreciate it! 😊
Thank you for this😊
You're very welcome! 😊
So much food! How do you decide on what to get first?! I do agree though overcooked fish is not so great.
I know right? Especially since there are lot of good food at the main dining room as well. At the buffet it helps to take little bit of a few items to try, and then get more if they're really good 🙂
I think the food would be a highlight for me tbh.
They had quite a few tasty dishes 😋
I wish these cruises came to NZ
Hello David and Joan...Nice Video. When is your next cruise from Galveston. Harmony of the seas on Dec 17th will be a great cruise, we love cruises 1 week before Christmas
we have been on Independence, Liberty, Allure and Adventure one week before christmas GOOD TIMES
Hi Asif & Maria- thanks! Not sure yet- we usually book last minute, but Harmony looks like a great pick for a holiday cruise from Galveston for sure. There will be the new Carnival & NCL ships too.
I can't entirely explain why, but I have 100% confidence in every one of your wife's individual dish reviews! She comes off as very credible.
Thank you very much- she's happy to hear that! 😊
Terrific Video ! Thank You ! Host Very Polite !
Our pleasure! Thanks for the comment! ☺️
You make cruising so decadent
Thank you! 😊
Hello guys and I really enjoy your videos. Comparing this Buffet with the one on Cunard it doesn’t compare. Even though I’m not a prime rib person, I would have had the prime rib rather than a lot of the fried food. And they did have some good salads but I’m not wowed. Aloha and happy sailing
Aloha! Yup agree with you that though Royal may have slightly better selection, Cunard has the higher quality buffet food for sure. Thank you very much for the comment! 😊
Yummy
😋
Good !!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Watching this while sitting at the Carnival Vista Buffet starving to death after 6 days.
Sorry to hear that! Yes, Royal has a better buffet for sure than Carnival, though hopefully you're enjoying Carnival's tasty casual eateries.

I'd HOPE that for instance if I wanted a bake potato HOT? Do they have a micro-wave in there reach?
If the baked potato is not hot enough, let the crew member behind the counter know and they will be happy to heat it up more for you no prob
Maybe I missed it, but do they have crabcakes at the Windjammer on Welcome Aboard night? We are sailing Harmony of the Seas next month!
Crab cake is listed in the description for the Welcome Aboard theme buffet on the daily schedule ("From buttermilk fried chicken to Maryland-style crab cakes..."), but we didn't see it. Have an wonderful cruise on the Harmony! If you get the chance let us know after your cruise if you saw crab cake. 🙂
Where is the bread pudding and banana pudding? No matter how many fancy-smancy desserts there are, it is not a buffet without bread/banana pudding😐
OK I'm boarding the very same ship in February. The diet starts now.
Way to plan ahead lol- a lot of good food await!
Love the buffets on RCCL. I am on the same ship in August next year. I was looking at all the desserts. Yum. Key Lime Pie is my fav. Dont get it in Australia.

Guys, do you thing the refreshing drink package is worth for the price?
Yes if you plan on drinking more than 4 or 5 specialty coffees, teas, sodas, or freshly squeezed juices every day. If the ship has Johnny Rockets, then milkshakes are included as well.
The eggplant parmesan looks delicious. Did you try it?
It looked really good, though we were too full to try it since we already ate a lot at the main dining for that night 🙂
🕊🌎🕊🕊sharing🫂thankYOU
I am so excited for all of the Indian Food! I feel like thats where I will gravitate to nightly.
They had a at least two different curries every night- we enjoyed them here and there as well!
Too much Indian food, not my cup of tea!
I would go on a cruise 🛳 just for the food. Forget the itinerary. The buffet is too important.
The food is a huge part! 😋
How often do you guys cruise?
A couple times a year- how about you?
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💪🏽😋😋

May bibig sa tiyan hahahaha joke USA all credit cruise now pay later kaso d nag dadala allowance card hahaha
Why are Indian dishes so popular on cruise ships?
Veggie curry is a popular dish for vegetarians, plus on some ships (like this one), the head chef is Indian 🙂
Thanks. Looks good but not the best.
Ooohhh all The salmonella ❤ anything with a sneeze guard over it is truly appetizing

You've gotta try it though- it's good 😋
These food buffet videos are what my spouse calls my food porn…
😁
Everything has gone to hell in this world even the cruises this food looks like it’s food for the crew!
Thousands of people all using the same tongs and spoons! 🤢
Crew members will come around and change those out periodically. But yeah it's not the most sanitary, though most of the time there's a host at the front of the buffet who will direct guests to wash their hands first before entry.
Worst food I have eaten on any cruise in my life.
Sorry to hear that- what ship was it? Which cruise did you have the best food?
@TravelTouristVideos Norwegian has the best food, followed by P&O for me. Carnival and Royal Caribbean have been the worst. I just went on RC Quantum of the Seas out of Brisbane. Food was shocking.
Some of these items are nothing but low grade dog food.
But some are teals high grade.
WOW, I wouldn't eat about 80% of what you showed in this video! Gross!!!

How was the food in the titanic? Lol
Wow. I've heard that as well. Are costs to blame? Maybe the actual intent is to drive passengers to the pay restaurants.
