Feature · Food
We ate our way through the ship. Here are all the restaurants — with the emphasis on the ones we actually tried.
For Haven guests only. A calmer atmosphere, more personal service and gourmet plates. We had sesame-crusted tuna, marinated pork, truffle risotto, surf & turf with lobster and béarnaise, ravioli and beautifully presented desserts. If you are staying in the Haven, make sure you use Restaurant Haven too.
★★★★★
Our first evening on board. Handsomely decorated, with the feel of a proper restaurant. A lasagne with plenty of layers, spaghetti carbonara, steak with ravioli, soup and a tiramisu that was really, really good.
★★★★☆
Sponsored by Veuve Clicquot. Slogan: “Sip, Savor, Sail”. French bistro décor. French onion soup, arancini, pork chop with pepper sauce, sole meunière. Dessert: chocolate mousse with raspberries.
★★★★☆
Meat carved at the table from large skewers. Picanha, filet mignon, parmesan-crusted chicken. A big salad bar, beans, rice and Pão de Queijo. Dessert: Coconut Flan. The most entertaining restaurant on the ship.
★★★★☆
A classic American diner, partly outdoors. Burgers served on metal trays, diner-style. Not spectacular, but fun — very cruise-ship American.
★★★☆☆
A huge selection, constantly replenished, and brilliant with children in particular. Not gourmet, but it works well and was far better than I had expected.
★★★★☆
A modern tapas-style concept. Sushi rolls, Pork Belly Bao, Kimchi Fried Rice. Dessert: green tea mousse and molten chocolate cake.
The chef cooks on the grill in front of you. Chicken Yaki Udon, seafood, New York Strip, Green Tea Cake.
A classic American steakhouse. Ribeye, Filet Mignon, Surf & Turf, truffle mash.
Fish and seafood. Ahi Tuna Tower, whole cold-water lobster, Cioppino, Key Lime Pie.
Gambas al Ajillo, bacon-wrapped dates, manchego and Jamón Serrano.
Irish pub vibes with pizza, burgers and fish & chips around the clock.
