| While all of the cruise lines cling to the traditional approach
to dining, there is a new wave sweeping the industry. Referred
to as personal choice or freestyle cruising, it's become a popular
alternative to shipboard dining. Now passengers can dine where,
when and with whom they want in a variety of dining rooms. This
new Personal Choice Dining option is for those who want to enjoy
a romantic dinner for two in the evening one night and join
a group of new found friends for dinner the next
Breakfast Your Way
Whether you opt for continental breakfast delivered to your
stateroom, or choose to try the buffet in the café or enjoy
à la carte in the dining room, you'll get your day off to
a delightful start. Breakfast buffets includes fresh fruits,
hot and cold cereal, eggs, bacon, sausage, muffins, toast,
juices and coffee. The dining room serves everything from
lox and bagels to pancakes and Eggs Benedict.
Join Us For Lunch
Five-course luncheons in the dining room with different pastas
every day and a variety of delightful entrees are irresistible.
If you can't tear yourself away from the pool, the luscious
buffets in the café is just as appealing. You'll find fresh
fruits and salads, pasta, a variety of hot entrees, grilled
hamburgers, a freshly baked pizza, and desserts and beverages.
Afternoon Tea
Some cruises offer a wonderful afternoon tradition. This is
one time you won't mind going through British customs-the
time-honored custom of afternoon tea with finger sandwiches,
pastries, scones and white-glove service. It's the perfect
interlude between sunning and swimming out on deck and a star-studded
evening at sea. Enjoy your choice of a wide selection of premium
teas-from Earl Grey to your favorite herbal infusion. And
of course there's coffee if you prefer. The choice is up to
you.
Dinner Is A Gala Affair
In addition to the alternative dining options, there are always
two seatings for dinner. You may even be treated to a select
theme nights featuring famous cuisines from around the world,
including French and Italian. Relax while you dine on such
delights as lobster and caviar, filet mignon and flavored
soufflés. Some ships feature steak houses offering a variety
of options..
Pizza Pizazz
Most ships now offer full-service pizzerias on all ships offering
fresh and made-to-order gourmet pies. You won't find a more
delicious or authentic pizza this side of Italy. Enjoy!
Alternative Dining
Due to the high popularity and limited seating, we recommend
making reservations at your earliest convenience. Generally,
a small per person service charge applies for the most formal
and gourmet dining.
24 Hour Dining
After a fabulous evening of shows, casino action and dancing,
order a sumptious snack from room service - need a better
way to wind up the day?
Smoke-Free Dining
To enhance your dining experience, most lines have established
a smoke-free dining policy.
