ATTIRE

Smart Casual

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

Many of the dishes on the Main Dining Room’s menu rotate each night, which means you could go an entire week without ever repeating a course. Every meal here begins with something delicious from the starters section of the menu — like savoury duck terrine layered with apricot chutney on toasted sourdough bread, a flaky Vidalia onion tart baked with whipped eggs, cream, and smoked bacon, or spiced eggplant and Kalamata olive tartare prepared with red pepper hummus and served on crispy garlic bread. Then, choose from international entrees like Moroccan spiced ahi tuna served over mint couscous, sautéed spinach and tequila peppers with a cool yogurt vinaigrette. Or mojo-marinated bone-in pork loin paired with sweet potatoes, broccoli and a cumin-citrus reduction. Dessert is also worth getting excited about, with options like sweet cream-soaked tres leches, home-style carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, and a light and fluffy Grand Marnier soufflé.

NOTE

Food offerings may differ by ship and sailing.

PRO TIP

The food in the Main Dining Room is complimentary, and you can order as many courses as you like.

ATTIRE

Casual

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

If you’re dropping in with friends for a shareable snack, it doesn’t get better than a double order of Johnny Rockets® famous fries. Ask for them plain or go all out with cheese and bacon on top. As far as burgers go, you can’t go wrong with the Original, served with lettuce, tomatoes, chopped onions, pickles, mustard, relish and mayo. But there’s also the Smoke House, loaded with bacon, onion rings, cheddar cheese, and Smoke House BBQ ranch. And the Spicy Houston, flavoured with jalapeños, pepper jack cheese, and the house Smokin’ Chipotle Ranch sauce.

First things first – ask for an order of the house focaccia, which comes with marinated artichokes, olives and pesto. And don’t miss the antipasti per due, an appetiser big enough for two that comes heaped with Italian salami, prosciutto, marinated anchovies, grilled artichokes, Cambozola cheese and more. There are plenty of tasty options to choose from if you’re a pasta lover, from parpadelle with pancetta in a rich radicchio cream, to taglierini tossed with cherry tomatoes, calamari, bay scallops and pesto. And if you’re craving a hearty Italian-style main course, try the polpette alla romana — tender veal meatballs in a rich tomato-herb sauce — or the costolette d’agnello alle erbe — grilled lamb chops served in a Merlot reduction with baby vegetable caponata and sautéed spinach.

Chops Grille℠

Summary

CLASSIC AMERICAN STEAKHOUSE

For more than a decade, the chefs at Chops Grille have specialised in serving up quality, hand-cut meat. Dinner at this hallmark Royal Caribbean specialty restaurant goes far beyond the typical steakhouse experience, though, with reimagined classics like succulent Maine lobster, gruyere cheese tater tots, white truffle-scented mushroom soup, and of course, expertly prepared prime beef.

ATTIRE

Smart Casual

INSIDER TIP

Open for lunch on sea days only.

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

The best way to begin a meal at Chops Grille is with the charred beef carpaccio, sliced thin and served rare with fresh arugula, Parmesan cheese, and truffle mustard dressing. If you’re a seafood lover, upgrade your menu with one of the restaurant’s chilled seafood towers — each comes with jumbo shrimp, green-lipped mussels, clams, Jonah crab claws, and Maine lobster. As far as entrees go, the tender filet is one of the most popular items on the menu. If nine ounces is a bit too much for you, opt for the smaller 6-ounce petite filet — it packs in just as much flavour as the standard cut. If you’re a traditionalist, complement your meal with an order of steaming Yukon Gold mashed potatoes and creamed spinach, or change things up with Chops’ signature gruyere cheese tater tots and truffled French fries. And don’t forget to save room for a refreshing slice of tart key lime meringue pie or classic New York cheesecake, served with raspberries and lemon confit.

PRO TIP

The chefs at Chops Grille will hand cut, season, and grill each steak to your specifications. When in doubt, don’t be afraid to ask for the chef’s recommendation.

HOW TO RESERVE

Cruise Planner or Onboard

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

The best way to kick off your dining experience at Izumi Hibachi & Sushi is with a few appetisers from the main menu. The shrimp firecracker spring roll is a must-try if you like a little spice — sambal chilli brings the heat while cool cream cheese softens the bite. If you love sushi, you’ll have plenty of rolls to choose from. One of the most imaginative from the signature sushi list spotlights blanched lobster and avocado in a refreshing champagne sauce, all rolled up in a yuzu fruit wrap. And no visit is complete without some selections from the teppanyaki menu, which include chicken breast, beef tenderloin, sea scallops, lobster, NY steak, and tiger shrimp. Whether you opt for the classic or the premier combo teppanyaki experience, you’ll enjoy complimentary starters like vegetable fried rice and green salad with tangy ginger dressing, and your choice of mochi ice cream or crispy sesame balls with red bean and plum sauce for dessert.

PRO TIP

If you’re dining with someone else, mix and match between teppanyaki options and selections from the extensive sushi list. That way, you can each try a little bit of everything.

Fish & Ships℠

Summary

GOLDEN FRIED GOODNESS

Savour delicious fare at Fish & Ships℠, a seaside seafood spot that’s just steps from the pool. No need to hop across the pond for a basket of freshly battered cod and hand cut fries. You can get the British classic comfort food right here, plus crispy calamari, savoury battered sausage, and even a frosty pint of brew.

ATTIRE

Casual

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

The most famous item on the menu at Fish & Ships℠ is hands down the classic Fish & Chips — golden-battered cod fried to perfection and served with mushy peas, just like they do in the UK. Other standouts include the crispy fried calamari — a great option if you’re sharing with friends — and the hearty house lobster roll, served with a side of signature chips. If you’re craving something other than seafood, try the battered sausage — it’s as flavourful as it is filling. And make sure you save space in your tummy for a bite of the restaurant’s famous deep-fried candy bar.

PRO TIP

If you’re just fuelling up on your way to another onboard activity, no problem — ask for your meal to go.

Sorrento's Pizza

Summary

PIZZA WITH MORE PIZZAZZ

There’s nothing more satisfying than a great slice of pizza — and Royal Caribbean has spent years perfecting the recipe at Sorrento’s. Whether you’re into classics, like cheese and Margherita, or specialty pies, like the meat-loaded Carnivore or the pineapple, bacon and BBQ-infused Caribbean Dream, Sorrento’s serves up perfection in every slice.

ATTIRE

Casual

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

There’s no wrong way to do pizza at Sorrento’s — all the pies here are equally delicious. If you’re a traditionalist, go for a slice of classic cheese or Margherita, topped with sweet basil leaves. Want to spice things up? The pepperoni pie brings just the right amount of heat. If you’re craving something a little heartier, try the aptly-named Carnivore, which comes loaded with meat, or a slice of the sweet and smoky BBQ chicken pizza. For something totally out of the ordinary, don’t miss the Caribbean Dream. Sprinkled with bacon, pineapple and BBQ, every bite channels major island vibes.

PRO TIP

Sorrento’s is open late, which makes it one of the best spots for an after-hours bite.

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

Whether your go-to spirit is vodka, gin, tequila, whiskey or rum, you’ll find something delicious to sip on at the Pool Bar. Tequila lovers should definitely try the Royal Citrus Ritatini, made with Avion Silver, Cointreau and fresh lime, or the Smokey Rita — a twist on the classic marg that spotlights Del Maguey Vida Blanco mezcal, triple sec, orange juice and margarita mix. If you’re more into whiskey or bourbon, opt for a classic Manhattan or a Rob Roy, both blended with just the right amount of sweet vermouth. And if you’re in the mood for something ginny, try the blood orange negroni — elevated with a small splash of blood orange, it’ll transport you straight to the storied bars of Florence, where this classic aperitif was born.

PRO TIP

If you don’t want to leave your lounger, an attendant can bring your order to you from the bar.
