Food time in the Legend of the Seas

No way anyone can forget about the food once you're on a cruise, especially when you in the cruise from the Royal Caribbean. Just a couple of things to note on the ship as it may not be that obvious for the first timers.

There are only 2 places where you can go for food. One is the Windjammer cafe which provide meals in the buffet style, and Romeo & Juliet Restaurant which provides meals in an À la carte style. Food wise, I felt that Romeo & Juliet restaurant provides slightly better food than Windjammer cafe which is usually the case if you compare buffet and À la carte meals, but in terms of variety, Windjammer cafe wins it hands down, mostly because it is a buffet. Note that Windjammer cafe sometimes provide snacks during tea breaks. I've never visited it though during that time.

Couple of things to note of the above 2 eating areas. You can dress casually at any time if you're going to the Windjammer cafe for your meals but for Romeo & Juliet restaurant, you'll have to take note of the "dressing of the day" which will be mentioned in your Cruise Compass. However, at no time will you be allowed into the Romeo & Juliet restaurant in your bare feet, shorts or tank tops during dinner, even though it's "casual day". Guys, do note that smart casual equates to shirt and tie, and pants. Formal equates to those dressing that you see for Emmy awards (e.g. Tuxedos). :)

For snacks, there are also 2 places that are open during certain timings. One is the Pizzas, Burgers and Hot Dogs at the Solarium, and the other is Ben & Jerry's Cafe Latte-tudes at Deck 6. I've not tried the former but it seemed that at certain times, it provides free snacks. Snacks however at Ben & Jerry's is chargeable. However, this is the place where I think provides food quite cheaply. A medium cup with 2 scoops of ice-cream only costs USD3.74, inclusive of service charge. A soya latte costs also the same. Personally, I think its cheap.

If you're thirsty at any point in time, you can go to the Thirst Quenchers right outside the Windjammer Cafe for a drink, or the water point inside the Solarium, right outside the Gym. FOC of course.

Now... Pictures time of the yummy food I ate on board the Legend of the Seas. :)
