Do all Royal Caribbean ships have a Windjammer?

Available across the Royal Caribbean fleet, Windjammer is the cruise line's main self-serve buffet offering. Additional buffet-style options vary by ship, an example is Solarium Bistro or Park Cafe.



Yes, the Windjammer Marketplace (often just called "The Windjammer") is a signature feature and is found on every single ship in the Royal Caribbean International fleet. It serves as the primary complimentary, buffet-style dining venue for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. While the name and specific "nautical" decor may vary slightly—older ships might call it the Windjammer Café while newer ones like Icon of the Seas use the Windjammer Marketplace branding—the concept remains identical fleet-wide. It offers a massive variety of global cuisines, from "Build-Your-Own" omelet stations in the morning to rotating themed dinners like "Indian Night" or "Mexican Night." While newer ships have added many other "free" casual options like Sorrento's Pizza or the El Loco Fresh taco bar to help spread out the crowds, the Windjammer remains the heart of the ship's dining experience, providing a laid-back, "no-reservations-required" environment where guests can eat as much as they like with a view of the ocean.
