When it comes to enjoying a drink, Celebrity Summit offers cruisers a variety of bars and lounges. Not sure where to start? Well, we just returned from a family cruise on this ship and have put together our Celebrity Summit Bars Guide with all of the bar menus and drink prices to help you make the difficult decisions.

Celebrity Summit Bars Guide With Menus & Drink Prices

While one of the smaller ships in the Celebrity Cruises fleet, Celebrity Summit does still have many of the staples that repeat cruisers have come to know and love— like the Martini Bar or the Sunset Bar. Featuring signature cocktails, live music, and entertainment throughout the cruise, there are plenty of opportunities to make use of your Celebrity drink package at these bars and lounges.

Drink prices range from $8-11 for beer, $10-17 for wine, and $12-17 for specialty cocktails (though some basic cocktails are included in the Classic Package).

Casino Bar – Deck 4

If you need a beverage to go along with your slot play, then the Casino Bar is your stop. This bar is open whenever the casino is open (which on our port intensive itinerary was usually only in the evenings). This is one of the late night spots on the ship, so don’t be surprised to see some of the night owls grabbing one last drink at this centrally located venue.

Unlike many other casino bars, this one on Celebrity Summit does have a unique drink menu. It also has televisions broadcasting popular sporting events.

Casino Bar Menu

Martini Bar – Deck 4

Possibly the most happening bar onboard any Celebrity cruise ship is the Martini Bar; though, this one did lack some of the character found on newer Celebrity ships. With highly talented bartenders and a large list of specialty martinis, including the popular espresso martinis on tap, you will probably find yourself frequenting this venue. This is definitely one of our favorite Celebrity Summit bars.

During our sailing, the Martini Bar was typically open from 4 PM to late.

Martini Bar Menu

Rendezvous Lounge – Deck 4

The Rendezvous Lounge is located at the entrance of the lower level of the Main Dining Room and Luminae (the restaurant exclusively for suite guests). Thus, it is the perfect spot to grab a pre-dinner cocktail or an after-dinner drink while enjoying the live music or nightly game shows that occur here.

Typically, the Rendezvous Lounge serves drinks from 4 PM on port days or 12 PM on sea days.

Rendezvous Lounge Menu

Cafe al Bacio – Deck 5

Cafe al Bacio is your coffee bar at sea. Serving up signature espresso-based drinks, coffee cocktails, and tasty sweet treats, you can relax and people watch here day or night. There’s occasionally live music here too.

The good news is that specialty coffees/teas are included in both the Classic and Premium beverage packages, and all the pastries are completely free!

Cafe al Bacio is open daily from 6:30 AM to midnight, so you can get your caffeine fix whenever you need it.

Cafe al Bacio Menu

Cellar Masters – Deck 5

For wine lovers, Cellar Masters will be your go-to venue. Offering a wide collection of wines from around the world, the sommeliers at the bar are ready to guide you on your tasting journey. Given its location, Cellar Masters is another perfect spot for a pre-dinner or post-dinner drink. There’s also live music here in the evenings.

Cellar Masters is open most days from 3 PM until midnight.

Cellar Masters Menu

Spa Cafe – Deck 10

Located in the Solarium, the Spa Cafe serves up healthy light bites as an alternative to the buffet for breakfast and lunch. The Spa Cafe is open for breakfast approximately 7-10 AM and lunch from 12-2 PM. It features small plates, smoothies, and fresh pressed juices.

Of note, the Classic drink package does NOT include the smoothies and fresh juices here, but the Premium drink package does.

Spa Cafe Menu

Pool Bar – Deck 10

Located in the center of the action on the pool deck, you can enjoy your favorite frozen cocktail while laying poolside and soaking up the sun. A visit to the Pool Bar will provide a refreshing and thirst-quenching treat during your sea days on Celebrity Summit.

This is one of the early spots to grab a drink as the Pool Bar is generally open from 8 AM to 8 PM daily.

Pool Bar Menu

Sunset Bar – Deck 10

Amazing views coupled with a great specialty cocktail menu, the Sunset Bar is a perfect combination. At this aft-facing venue, cruisers can gaze at the horizon while sipping some drinks. The Sunset Bar is also the perfect place to unwind after a day ashore and enjoy a great sunset view. I guess that is how the venue got its name!

The Sunset Bar is generally open from 6:30 AM to 1 AM daily. So whether you want a morning mimosa or a nightcap, you won’t want to miss out on this bar. It’s also positioned right beyond the Oceanview Cafe, so you could even grab some food and enjoy your meal outdoors.

Sunset Bar Menu

Sky Observation Lounge – Deck 11

The Sky Observation Lounge is a versatile space with floor to ceiling windows that provide great forward-facing views. This entertainment venue comes alive with cruise activities like trivia, game shows, and themed parties. Good thing the Sky Observation Lounge is also home to a specialty cocktail menu with drinks named after the constellations.

Sky Observation Lounge is typically open from around 3 PM until late.

Sky Observation Lounge Menu

Mast Bar – Deck 11

Lastly, overlooking the pool deck is the Mast Bar. This outdoor venue allows you to catch some sun with a cocktail in your hand while still being able to enjoy all of the sights and sounds of the pool deck, without the crowds.

The Mast Bar is usually open from 1 to 7 PM on port days or 10 AM to 7 PM on sea days. The good news is that there are plenty of lounge chairs located on this sundeck, so this is where we spent most of our only sea day.

Food is a big part of cruising, and we know our fellow cruisers are always eager to see what is available at the different restaurants onboard. So, we are back from a family cruise on Celebrity Summit and have put together this Celebrity Summit Restaurants Guide complete with menus and all the details for each venue.

Celebrity Summit Complimentary Restaurants

While one of the smaller ships in the Celebrity Cruises fleet, Celebrity Summit does still feature a variety of dining options that are included in your cruise fare. These include the Cosmopolitan main dining room, the Oceanview Cafe buffet, and a few other casual options.

Additionally, those staying in a suite will have access to the Retreat and its exclusive Restaurant, Luminae (Deck 4). Similarly, if you are staying in an Aqua Class cabin, you have your own exclusive restaurant, Blu (Deck 5). These venues offer distinct and more upscale menu selections than the main dining room.

With diverse offerings, you certainly do not have to pay extra for dining on Celebrity Summit (if you don’t want to). Though, the ship also offers a few specialty restaurants that are worth a try.

Cosmopolitan Restaurant – Decks 4 & 5

Cosmopolitan Restaurant is the main dining room on Celebrity Summit. This restaurant is located on Decks 4 and 5. Cosmopolitan is open for breakfast each morning from around 7:30-9 AM. The venue also serves lunch on sea days (which was only once on our port intensive itinerary) from around 12-1:30 PM.

Cosmopolitan features a 3-course meal every evening of the cruise. Cruisers can choose either the early seating (6 PM) or the late seating (8:30 PM) on Celebrity Summit. Or, if you prefer something a bit more flexible, the cruise line offers Celebrity Select Dining between 5:30 and 9 PM. Cruisers can make Celebrity Select reservations pre-cruise or join the walk-up line for standby guests. 

Regardless of which option you choose, the menu is the same. The menu features some classic dishes every night in addition to featured appetizers, entrees, and desserts that change nightly.

Menus: Breakfast| Lunch | Day 1 Dinner | Day 2 Dinner | Day 3 Dinner | Day 4 Dinner | Day 5 Dinner | Day 6 Dinner | Day 7 Dinner | Kids Menu

Cafe al Bacio – Deck 5

This coffee house located on Deck 5 of Celebrity Summit is a great spot to grab a specialty coffee and a sweet treat any time of day. Open from 6:30 AM to midnight, you can relax, get lost in a good book, or people watch at Cafe al Bacio whenever you want. All pastries are complimentary and change throughout the day.

The specialty coffee and teas are included in Celebrity Cruises Classic and Premium drink packages.

Cafe al Bacio Menu

Spa Cafe – Deck 10

Located in the Solarium, the Spa Cafe serves up healthy light bites as an alternative to the buffet for breakfast and lunch. The Spa Cafe is open for breakfast approximately 7-10 AM and lunch from 12-2 PM. Featuring small plates, smoothies, and fresh pressed juices, this is the perfect spot to grab a quick bite to eat while relaxing on a sea day.

Of note, the Classic drink package does NOT include the smoothies and fresh juices here, but the Premium drink package does.

Spa Cafe Breakfast Menu | Spa Cafe Lunch Menu

Pool Grill – Deck 10

This outdoor, casual venue is a great place to grab some lunch or a midday snack while lounging poolside. Serving up burgers and fries as well as other grill favorites like hot dogs and veggie burgers, the Pool Grill is open daily 11:30 AM-6 PM, weather permitting.

Pool Grill Menu

Oceanview Cafe – Deck 10

If you have sailed on Celebrity Cruises before, then you are very familiar with the Oceanview Cafe. This casual, complimentary buffet is open most of the day. On both sea and port days, the Oceanview Cafe serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 

The Oceanview Cafe serves breakfast 7-11 AM (with some early riser options starting at 6:30 AM) and lunch 12-3 PM daily. For breakfast, you can find your typical selections including fruits, breakfast pastries, cereals, hot menu items such as scrambled eggs, bacon, and sausage, as well as a custom omelet station.

For lunch, you will find a selection of salads, cold cuts and sandwiches, a pasta station, pizza, and other hot dishes which vary each day of the cruise. Lunch themes include Taste of Britain, Taste of Caribbean, Taste of Italy, and the Wonderland buffet featuring seafood selections and a chocolate fondue station.

The Oceanview Cafe also serves dinner nightly from 6-9:30 PM, offering traditional favorites as well as cuisine from around the world with a menu that varies each night. Some themed evenings feature Gourmet Burgers, Taste of Greece, German Sausage Station, Taste of France, Taste of Spain, and more.

Further, the Oceanview Cafe serves late night snacks from 10:30 PM to 1 AM.

As you probably already know, we are not huge fans of buffets, but we do rank Celebrity’s among the best at sea.

Celebrity Summit Specialty Restaurants

While you don’t have to spend money on food while cruising on Celebrity Summit, there are a few upcharge restaurants that might be worth the splurge.

If you plan to dine at any of these restaurants, you should make reservations pre-cruise, as popular dining times and restaurants do fill up quickly.

Tuscan Grille – Deck 3

Celebrity Cruises’ signature Italian steakhouse, Tuscan Grille, offers Italian favorites in a rustic yet sophisticated atmosphere. Open nightly for dinner from 6-9:30 PM, Tuscan Grille will cost you $55 per person to indulge on tasty appetizers, pasta dishes, entrees, and desserts.

This is one of the best Italian restaurants at sea in our opinion; you can’t go wrong with just about anything on the menu. We enjoyed the Short Rib Pappardelle, Chicken Parmesan, House Meatballs, and Limoncello Cheesecake to name a few dishes.

Tuscan Grille Menu | Chef’s Table

Sushi on Five – Deck 5

Sushi on Five serves up sushi and other Japanese specialties nightly for dinner typically from around 3 to 11 PM and on sea days for lunch from noon to 3 PM. Some popular menu options include Kobe Beef Ramen Sliders, Shrimp Tempura, Lobster & Shrimp Wontons, and a variety of sushi rolls. Sushi on Five is a la carte pricing, with most items ranging from $4 to $13 each.

Sushi on Five Menu

Le Petit Chef at Qsine – Deck 11

Le Petit Chef is a digitally enhanced dinner which includes a four-course meal and a “show”. The world-renowned artists of Skullmapping, presented by TableMation, offer this unique 3D experience which expertly pairs tabletop entertainment with an upscale pre-fixe menu.

During this unique experience exclusive to Celebrity Cruises, Le Petit Chef himself will appear on your table to artfully create each course of the menu. This experience has an early seating at 6 PM and a late seating at 8:30 PM. This dining experience is available for an up-charge of $65 per person.

This is a set menu, which is themed to the show. An alternate menu is available, but there isn’t the option for any further substitutions beyond that. During our 7-night cruise, there were two different menus/shows offered— The Magical Cooking Book (first half of the cruise) and Le Menu Extraordinaire (second half of the cruise).

The post Celebrity Summit Restaurants Guide With Menus appeared first on EatSleepCruise.com.

Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, Disney Treasure, offers a variety of bars and lounges for all the adults to enjoy some grown-up beverages. Not sure where to start? Our complete look at all the Disney Treasure bars includes all of the bar menus and drink prices to help you plan your upcoming cruise vacation.

Our Complete Look at All the Disney Treasure Bars With Menus and Drink Prices

When it comes to drinks on Disney Cruise Line, guests can enjoy water, coffee, tea, lemonade, Coca-Cola fountain drinks, some juices, hot chocolate, Vitamin water, iced tea, and milk included in the cruise fare. However, all alcoholic beverages will cost extra.

Unforunately, Disney Cruise Line does not offer traditional drink packages either. So, you may want to budget ahead for a bar tab if you plan on checking out all the signature bars and specialty cocktails on the ship.

Preludes (Deck 3)

Preludes is located on Deck 3 forward on both sides of the Walt Disney Theatre. This will be your closest spot to grab a drink or some popcorn before the nightly entertainment occurring in this venue. You won’t want to miss the shows which include Disney Seas the Adventure, The Tale of Moana, and Beauty and the Beast.

PRO TIP: If you bring your resuable popcorn bucket from the Disney parks, you can get refills at a cheaper price. If purchased outright, popcorn will cost you $4, but it will only cost $1.75 for a refill. If you want to purchase a Disney Treasure reusuable popcorn bucket on the ship, it will cost $9 and $1.75 for subsequent refills.

Skipper Society (Deck 3)

Skipper Society places guests in the middle of a popular Disney Parks attraction, the Jungle Cruise. Guests can board the Ems Empress and settle in for a three-week journey that lasts only 12 minutes. Although, the servers here did not receive a crash course in humor.

Still, we were impressed with the overall theming and references to the famous attraction throughout the venue. Beneath a canopy of jungle foliage, the Skipper Society wears many hats. During the day, there are arts & crafts sessions, trivia, and various other family events. In the evenings, guests can indulge in themed cocktails alongside live music.

Skipper Society Menu

Haunted Mansion Parlor (Deck 3)

Foolish mortals now have a place to enjoy some spirits on Deck 3 of Disney Treasure. The immaculately detailed Haunted Mansion Parlor brings to life yet another Disney Parks iconic attraction. Adorned with early 20th-century furniture and the famous wallpaper, the venue’s eerily nautical vibe pairs well with the deliciously chilling drinks from the specialty cocktail menu.

Be warned, once the clock strikes 13, the parlor comes alive with “mysterious happenings”. These can include singing wall art, a séance with Madame Leota, or other playful spooks on the digital screen behind the bar.

We highly encourage you to grab a drink and enjoy one of the most intricately designed and immersive venues at sea. Just remember, no flash pictures, please, as these spirits are frightfully sensitive to bright lights.

Haunted Mansion Parlor Menu

Scat Cat Lounge (Deck 3)

Infused with the elegance of an old-school jazz club, the Scat Cat Lounge interprets the groovy penthouse performance of “Ev’erybody Wants to be a Cat” from The Aristocats. A paw-printed baby grand piano, various cats adorning the walls, and live music, evoke the same sophistication of the film.

Alongside the decor, the venue’s delicious craft cocktail menu makes this the ideal place for a pre-dinner or post-dinner drink.

Of note, this piano lounge is reoriented when compared to Disney Wish. Now, the bar serves patrons in the Scat Cat Lounge and guests looking for a drink in the Grand Hall.

Scat Cat Lounge Menu

Sarabi (Deck 4)

Centrally located on Deck 4, with balcony seating on Deck 5, Sarabi is a new entertainment venue on Disney Treasure. Named for the lioness matriarch from The Lion King, Sarabi hosts a multitude of activities and entertainment throughout the cruise. This theater transforms from a daytime setting for families into an adult-exclusive space in the evenings. It hosts activities like the Match Your Mate game show, the Silent Disco, and the new interactive Indiana Jones show: Choose Wisely.

There’s even a full bar with signature cocktails. The venue also serves popcorn to enjoy during one of the movies at the nearby theaters.

Sarabi Cocktail Menu

HeiHei Cafe (Deck 4)

Named for Moana’s trusty sidekick, Heihei Café echoes the scalloped seashells and reflective blue waters of the Southern Pacific Isle of Motunui. This cafe on Deck 4 is one of the two main specialty coffee venues on Disney Treasure. It serves coffee, tea, espresso-based drinks, cold brew cocktails, wines, pressed juices, and more throughout the day.

HeiHei Cafe Menu

Hook’s Barbery (Deck 4)

While technically not a bar, Hook’s Barbery onboard Disney Treasure provides a unique and upscale touch. This venue actually includes a whiskey bar for the gents while getting a salon service. Special events and whiskey tastings also occur here.

There is no physical menu, but you can basically create your own smoked old fashioned from the available syrups, spirits, and smoked woods.

Periscope Pub (Deck 5)

Another venue themed after a Disney Parks attraction, the Persiscope Pub is Disney Cruise Line’s first venue inspired by the 1954 film 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. The design of the submarine-style interiors calls upon 19th century steampunk influences with polished metals and industrial touches.

This casual locale is the perfect spot for guests to unwind and watch live sports and news while ordering from a menu of craft brews and light bites. The venue features three signature beers, select cocktails, and irresistible pub fare like potato puffs, chicken wings, German pretzels, and more.

Periscope Pub Menu

Jade Cricket Cafe (Deck 5)

Inspired by Mulan, the Jade Cricket Cafe honors the Fa family’s lucky cricket, Cri-Kee, who is represented by a jade sculpture on the bar top. From the central moon gate to the flowers adorning the walls, symbols of Mulan’s strength, beauty, and heritage fill the café.

On Deck 5, Jade Cricket Cafe serves a similar menu to the HeiHei Cafe one deck below, including espresso-based beverages adorned with a little Disney magic. It’s also a great place to grab some espresso martinis.

Jade Cricket Cafe Menu

The Lookout (Deck 11)

The Lookout Bar is one of the bars on the Deck 11 pool deck. It’s located nearby the Mickey and Friends Festival of Foods quick-service stations.

Much like a typical poolside bar, the Lookout Bar serves a variety of beers and seltzers, wines, and frozen cocktails. It also serves coffee and refreshers. Or, you might want to grab a Drink of the Day here while lounging poolside, which are available at the reduced cost of around $6.50.

Lookout Bar Menu

Pool Bar (Deck 11)

Also located on Deck 11 are two smaller Pool Bars with a limited selection of beer and wine. It is also a spot to purchase a Disney Treasure cooler filled with your favorite beverages. The coolers are $19, or you can get it at a discounted rate of $11 when you take advantage of the cruise line’s “buy 5, get 1 free” promotions.

Marceline Market Café (Deck 11)

The Marceline Market is the buffet on Disney Treasure located aft on Deck 11. This food hall also features its own bar, the Marceline Market Café. Regardless of when you are dining here, all your favorite drinks are sure to be on the menu.

The menu includes espresso-based beverages, wines, beer, and a variety of other cocktails.

Marceline Market Cafe Menu

Wheezy’s Freezies (Deck 12)

Located near the Toy Story Splash Zone, you will find Wheezy’s Freezies. This quick-service station serves up a variety of frosty drinks to enjoy. These include smoothies and dole whip. All items at this spot are an up-charge.

The smoothies range from $8-9 and dole whip is $6.50. You can also add a shot of rum to your dole whip for an additional fee.

Wheezy’s Freezies Menu

The Rose (Deck 12)

The Rose is a chic lounge located at the entrance of the specialty restaurants, Palo Steakhouse and Enchanté. This venue is inspired by the fateful flower at the heart of the Beauty and the Beast film, from which the restaurants are also themed.

With tasteful décor, plush seating, and ocean views, this is the perfect spot to grab a pre-dinner or post-dinner cocktail. The menu features a list of luxurious cocktails, wines, and champagnes.

The Rose Cocktail Menu

Cove Café (Deck 13)

Located within the adult-only Quiet Cove on Deck 13 aft, the Cove Café is an indoor lounge serving gourmet coffees, teas, and specialty drinks throughout the day. This is a quiet spot to escape the heat and the kids for a bit of relaxation.

This was our go-to spot for our daily caffeine fix while on Disney Treasure. We also found ourselves here a few afternoons with our laptops catching up on some work.

Cove Café Menu

Cove Bar (Deck 13)

Also located within the Quiet Cove is the Cove Bar. This bar is an open-air watering hole serving beer, wine, and cocktails. This is the perfect adult-only pool bar while lounging in this area which includes an 18+ sundeck, whirlpool, and an infinity pool.

In addition to more traditional cocktails, this bar serves up freshing pop spritzes.

Cove Bar Menu

Currents (Deck 14)

We realize that families might not be able to escape their kids for too long. So luckily, the Currents Bar features the same menu as the Cove Bar with many adult beverages. Currents is located on Deck 14 overlooking the Toy Story Splash Zone. It is also the closet bar to the secluded Chip and Dale’s Pool.

Currents Cocktail Menu

One of the best new cruise ships for 2025 has just set sail! Disney Treasure, Disney Cruise Line’s 6th ship, is now sailing 7-day Caribbean itineraries. If you have plans to cruise on this new ship, we have put together our complete Disney Treasure restaurants guide with menus so you can see what’s available at all the onboard dining spots.

Complimentary Disney Treasure Restaurants

There are several dining options that are included in your cruise fare with Disney Cruise Line. These include the main dining rooms, the Marceline Market buffet, and some other casual options. With so many great offerings, you certainly do not have to pay extra for dining (if you don’t want to). Though, Disney Treasure also offers a few adult-only specialty restaurants that are worth a try.

Disney’s Rotational Dining Concept

Disney Cruise Line does dining differently. Unlike most other cruise lines, which offer flexible dining options or a fixed dining schedule, this cruise line offers only the latter but with a twist.

All cruisers on Disney Treasure get an assigned dining time, either early dining at 5:45 PM or late dining at 8:15 PM. Guests then follow the same dining team through Disney Treasure’s three main dining rooms. Each main dining room offers a distinct ambiance, vibe, and signature menus. The main dining rooms include: 1923, Worlds of Marvel, and Plaza de Coco.

On a 7-day Disney Treasure sailing, this means you will get to enjoy each of the three restaurants twice with different menus each visit. Guests will dine at one of the dining rooms three times based on their rotation, but the special Pirate Night menu will be served across all three dining rooms this evening. A sample rotation would be 1231231.

You can check the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app once onboard the ship to see your specific restaurant rotation.

Each night’s menu features a variety of appetizers, entrees, and desserts. There’s also a Lighter Notes section which includes a specialty salad, sirloin steak, chicken breast, and salmon.

1923 (Deck 3)

The first of Disney Treasure’s main dining rooms is 1923. Named for the year The Walt Disney Company was founded, 1923 is a celebration of the company. The décor in this venue pays homage to the golden age of animation and its Californian heritage. It includes drawings, props, and other tools of the trade.

This restaurant has two smaller venues, Walt Disney and Roy Disney, located on the portside and starboard sides of the ship respectively. These venues are aptly named for the men behind the Disney magic. Regardless of which restaurant you get assigned, you’ll be served the same menu.

The dinner menus include upscale selections like filet mignon, rack of lamb, and lobster tail.

1923 is also open for breakfast and lunch daily, with the exception of embarkation day lunch which is served in Plaza de Coco. Breakfast is generally from 8 to 9:30 AM, and lunch is from 12 to 1:30 PM. Of note, there is no sit-down lunch available during the ship’s visit to Castaway Cay.

Breakfast Menu | Lunch 1 | Lunch 2 | Lunch 3 | Lunch 4 | Lunch 5 | Lunch 6

Cocktail Menu | Dinner Menu 1 | Dessert 1 | Dinner Menu 2 | Dessert 2 | Kids Menu

Pirate Night Menu | Pirate Kids Menu

Worlds of Marvel (Deck 4)

The second of the complimentary Disney Treasure restaurants is Worlds of Marvel. This restaurant is a Marvel cinematic dining adventure at sea. In Avengers: Quantum Encounter, guests play an interactive role in an Avengers mission. They’ll join Ant-Man and Wasp as they protect Quantum Core technology from a fearsome foe. You may even get a special visit from Spider-Man.

New for Disney Treasure is a second show, Marvel Celebration of Heroes: Groot Remix. This more passive show unfolds on the screens throughout the restaurant as guests eat to the beat of hit songs from throughout the decades that are prominently portrayed in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies.

There is a unique menu that goes along with each show featuring items like a tuna steak, chicken schnitzel, beef wellington, and linguini nero.

Cocktail Menu | Dinner Menu 1 | Dinner Menu 2 | Kids Menu

Plaza de Coco (Deck 5)

Also brand-new on Disney Treasure, Plaza de Coco is the third complimentary main dining room. The story of the Rivera family entertains guests when Miguel and his familia gather in Mariachi Plaza for a colorful, music-filled journey that celebrates family memories. The second dinner, Dia de los Muertos, is when Miguel reunites with his great-great-grandparents.

Noteworthy characters and songs from the Pixar film come to life alongside an array of artful dishes and festive flavors. The menu includes traditional Mexican dishes with a modern touch, such as beef empanadas, chicken enchiladas, pork carnitas, and churros.

With a central stage, communal atmosphere, and vibrant decor, diners are encouraged to sing along with their families during this lively dinner experience.

Cocktail Menu | Dinner Menu 1 | Dinner Menu 2 | Kids Menu

Mickey and Friends Festival of Foods (Deck 11)

Located in the center of all the action on the pool deck is the Mickey and Friends Festival of Foods. These quick-service stations, styled after a seaside boardwalk, are the perfect spot to grab lunch, dinner, or a snack. The Festival of Foods is open most days from around 11 AM until 6 PM, with the grill remaining open until 9 PM.

This open-air eatery features five themed food stalls: Mickey’s Smokestack Barbecue, Donald’s Cantina, Daisy’s Pizza Pies, Goofy’s Grill, and Minnie’s Delights. For BBQ, guests can sample items like brisket, pulled pork, and sausage. At Donald’s Cantina, guests can build their own tacos, bowls, or burritos. And, at Goofy’s Grill, guests can snack on chicken tenders, fries, burgers, and hot dogs.

The Mickey and Friends Festival of Foods includes a sizable seating area nearby for guests to enjoy their meals.

Mickey’s BBQ | Donald’s Cantina | Daisy’s Pizza | Goofy’s Grill | Minnie’s Soft Serve

Marceline Market (Deck 11)

Named for Walt Disney’s early childhood hometown in Missouri, Marceline Market is a stylish food hall inspired by popular marketplaces around the world. Disney Treasure’s take on the typical cruise ship buffet features a number of food stations, a bar, and both indoor and outdoor seating.

The Marceline Market includes a variety of cuisine from American classics, international selections, seafood options, soups and salads, baked goods and desserts, and more. There is even a kids section featuring items like Mickey waffles for breakfast and chicken tenders for lunch.

Be sure to make your way to the back of the venue as this is where the custom omelet station is in the morning and the seafood bar in the afternoon.

Marceline Market is open for breakfast (around 6:30/7 to 10:45 AM) and lunch (around 12 to 2 PM). It is NOT open for dinner like most other cruise line buffets.

Room Service

Room service is available 24 hours a day on Disney Treasure. Further, most room service items are complimentary on Disney Cruise Line for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Breakfast items are available for delivery from 5 to 9:30 AM, and the all-day menu is available outside of breakfast hours. The room service menu includes items like soups, salads, burgers, desserts, as well as continental breakfast items. You can also ask for the off-menu Mickey ice cream bars!

Breakfast Menu | Room Service Menu

Specialty Restaurants on Disney Treasure

While Disney Treasure does offer a number of complimentary dining venues, this new cruise ship also features a few specialty venues. These venues do all have up-charges, are adult-only, and have dress codes.

If you plan to dine at either of the two specialty restaurants, you should make reservations pre-cruise, as popular dining times do fill up quickly.

Palo Steakhouse (Deck 12)

The upscale Palo Steakhouse is located at the aft of the ship. This restaurant is an evolution of the Palo restaurant found on other DCL ships. Now, Palo Steakhouse combines authentic Italian dining with a modern steakhouse.

In a setting inspired by Cogsworth from the Beauty and the Beast film, guests can enjoy an elegant dinner with ocean views as the backdrop. With warm wood tones, shiny metal, and ornate clocks, this venue feels very luxurious.

While dining at Palo Steakhouse, guests can choose the Prezzo Fisso menu or order a la carte. The Prezzo Fisso menu includes Antipasti, Insalata, Il Secondo, and Dolce with more limited options for each category.

There is a $50 per person up-charge for the Prezzo Fisso menu. Palo also serves brunch (on the two sea days and the Grand Cayman day) for $50.

Palo Brunch | Palo Dinner

Enchanté (Deck 12)

Enchanté offers the most luxurious dining experience on Disney Treasure, also located at the aft of deck 12 on the starboard side. This specialty restaurant features a gourmet menu crafted by Michelin-starred Chef Arnaud Lallement. Chef Lallement also helped to create the menu for the French-inspired Remy restaurant on Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy.

With décor inspired by Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast, this venue is romantic and intimate with candlelight, shimmering light fixtures, a soft blue color palette, and metallic embellishments.

Like Palo, guests can choose a prix-fixe menu that includes multiple courses for $135 or pay a la carte. There’s also additional wine, champagne, or zero-proof drink pairing options. Lunch is available at Enchanté on the two sea days as well.

Enchanté Lunch & Dinner

Additonal Up-Charge Venues on Disney Treasure

Periscope Pub (Deck 5)

The Periscope Pub is a nautically themed pub that celebrates Walt Disney’s 1954 film, “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” and the Disney Parks attraction that was open at Walt Disney World from 1971 to 1994. The submarine-style decor calls upon 19th century steampunk influence with polished metals and industrial touches.

With a selection of custom craft brews available exclusively aboard Disney Treasure, along with a few cocktails, this is a great casual spot to relax with friends. Guests can watch live sports events and even grab some irresistible bar bites like potato puffs, chicken wings, and German pretzels at a la carte prices. Prices range from $8 up to $16 for items like fish & chips or a burger.

Periscope Pub Menu

Jumbeaux Sweets (Deck 11)

For all those with a sweet tooth, you will definitely want to check out Jumbeaux Sweets on Disney Treasure. The venue is reminiscent of the popular ice cream parlor, Jumbeaux Café, from Disney’s “Zootopia”.

Surrounded by playful pink interiors, Victorian-style architecture, and a sculpture of Officer Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, guests can indulge in more than 20 flavors of handmade gelato, 16 flavors of ice cream and sorbets, and other specialty treats like the Paw Shortbread Sandwich, an elevated take on Nick Wilde’s pawpcicle.

We’ve just returned from a sailing on MSC Cruises’ new World Class of ships and are back to share all the dining details with you in our complete guide to the MSC World Europa restaurants with menus. Check out all the complimentary and specialty dining options available on the ship, so you can plan where you want to eat during your cruise.

Complimentary MSC World Europa Restaurants

When it comes to complimentary dining, MSC Cruises typically has only a few options that are included in your cruise fare. These include the main dining rooms and the buffet. Until now, there were no alternative casual and complimentary dining spots available. But the World Class has changed this! MSC World Europa now boasts Pizza & Burger nearby Luna Park for additional quick service options, as well as a poolside grill serving similar items.

Of course, guests staying in MSC Yacht Club also have their own private restaurant.

Main Dining Rooms

• La Foglia Restaurant (Deck 5): 5:30 PM, 7:30 PM, 9:30 PM
• Esagono Restaurant (Deck 6): 6:30 PM, 9 PM
• Hexagon Restaurant (Deck 6): 6:30 PM, 9 PM
• Bubbles Restaurant (Deck 6): 6 PM, 8:30 PM, 6 to 10 PM for My Choice guests
• Les Dunes Restaurant (Deck 8): 6:30 to 10 PM for My Choice suite guests

MSC World Europa has five main dining rooms spread across Decks 5, 6, and 8. The restaurants include La Foglia Restaurant, Esagono Restaurant, Hexagon Restaurant, Bubbles Restaurant, and Les Dunes Restaurant. The Les Dunes Restaurant is reserved exclusively for those who are staying in MSC’s Aurea suites. Those who booked into the Aurea Experience have a reserved section in Bubbles.

These Aurea guests get My Choice Dining. This means they can choose a different dining time each night of their cruise. Guests booked in the Bella and Fantastica Experiences will be assigned a dining time and dining room, with Fantastica guests getting priority for requested dining times.

Regardless of whether you have Assigned Dining or My Choice Dining, all five main dining rooms offer the same rotational menu for dinner. These menus do change nightly with a list of “always available” selections. Each night, the menu includes a rotational selection of starters, entrees, and desserts.

The Hexagon Restaurant is also open for breakfast daily from around 7:30 to 9 AM and lunch from 12 to 1:30 PM. On the one sea day, this venue served a brunch instead from 9 AM to 1 PM.

Menus:

Breakfast | Sea Day Brunch | Lunch 1 | Lunch 2 | Lunch 3 | Lunch 4 | Lunch 5 | Lunch 6 | Dinner 1 | Dinner 2 | Dinner 3 | Dinner 4 | Dinner 5 | Dinner 6 | Dinner 7

Pizza & Burger (Deck 6)

New to MSC Cruises is a quick service station serving pizza, burgers, hot dogs, chicken wings, and more. Pizza & Burger is open from 11:30 AM/12 PM to 2 AM serving grab-and-go snack options. The venue features plenty of seating and retro arcade games as well.

We think this is a great new addition to the MSC World Europa restaurants lineup!

Coffee Emporium (Deck 8)

Another great addition is the Coffee Emporium located on the World Promenade. In fact, this may have been our favorite spot on the ship.

While MSC boasts all bars on its ships serve espresso, we’ve found that the bartenders struggle to make specialty coffee drinks. Custom lattes, macchiatos, and the like are certainly not their forte.

But now, the Coffee Emporium solves all this. And, most of the drinks are even included in the MSC drink packages. While you’re grabbing your iced caramel latte, cold brew, or other caffeine fix, you’ll also have some food options available for an upcharge. Similar to a Starbucks on land, the Coffee Emporium serves breakfast pastries, sandwiches, and other small treats throughout the day.

The Coffee Emporium is generally open from 7 AM to 11 PM, so you can grab some espresso martinis in the evenings too.

Coffee Emporium Menu

Il Mercato Buffet (Deck 18) and La Brasserie Buffet (Deck 19)

Given that the World Class is quite a bit larger and carries considerably more passengers than the previous Seaside Class vessels, MSC World Europa has two buffets. Il Mercato and La Brasserie are the two buffets, which are basically stacked on top of each other.

Il Mercato is open daily for breakfast (7 to 11 AM), lunch (12:30 to 4:30 PM), and dinner (6:30 to 10 PM).

La Brasserie is open for breakfast (6:30 to 10 AM) and lunch (12 to 3 PM) only as it becomes a supplemental restaurant for Yacht Club guests in the evenings.

While most of the time you can choose to dine at either, occasionally the staff did direct guests to one or the other based on capacity. Don’t worry though, as the majority of the selections are the same.

At breakfast, guests will find a custom egg and omelet station. Additional menu items include options like scrambled eggs, breakfast meats, pancakes and waffles, and breakfast pastries. Cereal, fruit, and other continental items are available as well. 

Lunch and dinner features a number of different stands with various food offerings. These include a pizza station, a pasta station, a salad bar, select international hot entrees, charcuterie with meats and cheeses, and hamburgers and hot dogs.

MSC World Europa Specialty Restaurants

While you don’t have to spend money on food while cruising on MSC World Europa, there are quite a few upcharge restaurants that might be worth the splurge. If you choose to dine at the available specialty restaurants, you can either pay a la carte, pay a set fee for the limited Dining Experience menu, or purchase a specialty dining package.

If you are considering dining at a few of these venues, you might want to purchase a dining package.

Dining Package prices for our sailing were:

• 2 Dining Experiences (Kaito Sushi and Teppanyaki)- 62 euro
• 3 Dining Experiences (Chef’s Garden Kitchen, Butcher’s Cut, Kaito Sushi)- 125 euro
• 4 Dining Experiences (Chef’s Garden Kitchen, Kaito Teppanyaki, Butcher’s Cut, Hola! Tacos) – 150 euro

It is important to note that the specialty dining packages on MSC Cruises are slightly different than you find on most other cruise lines. Each package includes specific specialty restaurants. Thus, you are not able to customize your restaurant picks. Further, if you are on a dining package, you must order items off the limited Dining Experience menu and can purchase additional items off the full menu at a la carte prices or swap out items for 50% off.

If you plan to dine at any of these MSC World Europa restaurants, you should make reservations as soon as possible, as popular restaurants and dining times do fill up quickly.

Jean Philippe Chocolat & Cafe (Deck 6)

Jean Philippe Chocolat & Cafe is a chocolate lover’s paradise. This venue serves a variety of treats that are available for an upchage. There’s chocolates, gelato, sundaes, crepes, and more that are crafted on board in an open-air kitchen. This venue also serves espresso-based beverages and specialty hot chocolate drinks.

Jean Philippe Chocolat & Cafe is generally open every day from 7:30 AM to midnight. Unfortunately though, none of the food or drinks are included in any dining or drink packages.

Jean Philippe Chocolat & Cafe Menu

Hola Tacos and Cantina (Deck 7)

Hola! Tacos and Cantina serves up Mexican-style street food in a vibrant open setting restaurant, with a nearby bar also serving up some tasty margaritas.

At Hola!, guests can choose an all-you-can-eat option for a set fee of 22.99 euro per person or pay a la carte for each menu item. The menu features a variety of Mexican favorites like guacamole, tacos, enchiladas, burritos, nachos, quesadillas, and more.

This is a great option for a casual lunch or dinner on MSC World Europa. Hola Tacos is open daily from 12 to 10 PM.

Hola Tacos and Cantina Menu

Butcher’s Cut (Deck 7)

The Butcher’s Cut is the signature steakhouse on MSC Cruises ships. This upscale restaurant is one of the best at sea in our opinion, featuring premium cuts of beef alongside various starters, sides, and desserts. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy an elegant night out.

The venue is smaller than it is on Seaside Class ships, but it still features an open kitchen and ample dining room seating.

The Butcher’s Cut is open nightly for dinner from 6:30 to 10:30 PM and for brunch from 12 to 2 PM.

Butcher’s Cut Brunch Menu | Butcher’s Cut Dinner Menu

Kaito Teppanyaki (Deck 7)

Like many cruise lines, MSC ships feature a Japanese hibachi-style restaurant. Kaito Teppanyaki is open nightly for dinner from 6:30 to 10:30 PM with set seatings and for lunch from 12 to 1:30 PM.

This teppanyaki restaurant’s menu features set tasting combinations at varying prices. Each begins with a sushi and sashimi plate, miso soup, teppan salad, and fried rice. There is then a fish portion and a meat portion which varies based on which experience you select. The meal then concludes with a pineapple and ginger ice cream dessert. There is an additional vegetarian and kids menu available.

Once you make your selections, it’s time to sit back and enjoy this interactive dinner show. Watch your chef cook up the meal right in front of you with a little singing and fun along the way.

Kaito Teppanyaki Menu

Kaito Sushi Bar (Deck 7)

Adjacent to Kaito Teppanyaki is Kaito Sushi Bar. Kaito Sushi is open 6:30 to 10:30 PM nightly for dinner and 12 to 2 PM for lunch.

At Kaito Sushi, cruisers can pull up a seat at the bar top to order up various sushi and sashimi options. There are also additional items on the menu like tempura, teriyaki, soup, noodles, and desserts. So, even if you don’t like sushi, you can probably find something on the menu to enjoy. I sampled the soba noodles and chicken teriyaki, while Don enjoyed some namesake selections.

Kaito Sushi Bar Menu

Chef’s Garden Kitchen (Deck 8)

Chef’s Garden Kitchen is a new specialty dining concept for MSC Cruises which debuted on World Europa. However, it will not be featured on World America. Instead, World America will feature the only Eataly Italian restaurant at sea.

At Chef’s Garden Kitchen, the menu infuses fresh ingredients grown in the ship’s first-at-sea hydroponic garden. The dishes are more unique than your typical specialty restaurant selections with an emphasis on seafood along with a few beef options like Wagyu sirloin and short rib.

If you’re looking for a unique dining experience, this is for you. With ocean views, an open kitchen, and a creative menu, it’s perfect to celebrate a special occasion.

Chef’s Garden Kitchen is open nightly for dinner from 6:30 to 10:30 PM.

Chef’s Garden Kitchen Menu

La Pescaderia (Deck 8)

Also new on MSC Cruises is La Pescaderia. This new seafood restaurant is complete with a fresh fish market and a takeout window. Of note, World America will not feature this venue. Instead, the ship will debut the Greek Paxos restaurant.

La Pescaderia is a Mediterranean-inspired venue located on the World Promenade of World Europa. It features both indoor and outdoor seating. Guests can select their fish which complements the other hot and cold mezes on the menu.

La Pescaderia is open nightly for dinner from 6:30 to 10 PM and for lunch from 12 to 2 PM.

The grab-and-go window is open from 12 to 10 PM daily and features items like frito misto for 6 euro or fish & chips for 8 euro.

La Pescaderia Menu

Sweet Temptations (Deck 8)

Also located on the outdoor World Promenade, Sweet Temptations is a gourmet ice cream shop. This venue serves gelato, make-your-own ice cream bars, waffles, crepes, and other sweet treats at a la carte prices.

None of the selections here are included in any dining or drink packages similar to Jean Philippe Chocolat & Cafe.

Sweet Temptations is open daily from 12 to 10:30 PM.

Sweet Temptations Menu

Room Service

Room Service delivery is included with Fantastica and Aurea experiences on breakfast and 24 hour room service orders. Bella Experience guests will be charged 4 euro for delivery. However, you do still need to pay for the menu items ordered regardless of your experience level. Room service is included for Yacht Club guests however.

Continental breakfast items are complimentary, but other items like sandwiches and salads will cost around 5 euro. A pizza menu is also available with prices from 6 to 10 euro. Of note, pizza delivery was only available from 8 PM to 1:30 AM on our European sailing. This is different than our sailing on MSC Seashore in the Caribbean where it was available all day.

The post MSC World Europa Restaurants Guide With Menus appeared first on EatSleepCruise.com.

Disney Cruise Line’s third ship, and first of its class, the Disney Dream, is currently sailing Bahamian itineraries out of Fort Lauderdale. We recently returned from a 4-night sailing on this ship and have put together this Disney Dream Restaurants Guide so you can explore what is available onboard!

Complimentary Disney Dream Restaurants

Several dining options are included in your cruise fare onboard Disney Dream. This includes the three main dining rooms, Cabana’s buffet, and a few other casual dining options. With many options available, there is no need to pay any extra for dining onboard if you don’t want to!

Disney’s Rotational Dining Concept

One of the unique features of all five Disney Cruise Line ships is the exclusive rotational dining concept, which adds an element of variety to your dining experience. When booking their stateroom, guests are assigned a dining time of either early seating (5:45 pm) or late seating (8:15 pm). If your preferred time was not available at the time of booking, there is a waitlist available, as well as a dining help desk on cruise embarkation day that may be able to assist in changing the time.

When it comes time for dinner, guests will rotate each night between the three complimentary main dining venues on Disney Dream. On sailings longer than 3 nights, guests will repeat restaurants. Don’t worry about the repetition, though; the menu and entertainment will be different the second time around.

Not only do the guests rotate between venues, so do the waitstaff and table number. This ensures that the waitstaff really gets to know their guests and preferences during the voyage. Once onboard the ship, guests can check their Disney Cruise Line Navigator app to find their dining rotation, time, and table number.

Animator’s Palate (Deck 3)

Animator’s Palate is one of three complimentary main dining rooms on Disney Dream. This venue showcases storytelling, with decor of paint brushes, character sketches, and models of your most beloved Disney characters, immersing guests into an animation studio.

Undersea Magic is the entertainment provided during your dinner. Finding Nemo characters comes to life on screens via digital animation and puppetry. You may even have a chance to talk to everyone’s favorite dude, Crush!

Unfortunately, on our sailing, we had the secondary menu, so we didn’t get to indulge in the famous black truffle pasta purseittes, but we did enjoy the tuna sashimi and the beef wellington.

Animator’s Palate Dinner Menu

Royal Palace (Deck 3)

The second of three main dining rooms onboard Disney Dream is Royal Palace. With its doors right off the main atrium, guests dine like royalty surrounded by nods to classic Disney princess films such as Beauty and the Beast. Gold hues, giant chandeliers, and murals of your favorite princesses make guests feel like they are in the middle of the story.

This French-inspired menu is the most upscale of the three and, personally, my favorite menu onboard! We dined here on our second night, enjoying the escargot, rack of lamb, French onion soup, and creme brulee.

Unlike Animator’s Palate, no entertainment is provided at this venue.

Royal Palace is open for breakfast and lunch daily for guests who prefer a sit-down dining experience versus the buffet. Breakfast options include standard fares such as omelets, waffles, and eggs. Lunch service in Royal Palace works like dinner service, including three courses of options as well as beverages. However, breakfast and lunch do not have table or staff assignments; instead, they work on a first-come, first-served basis.

Breakfast Menu | Embarkation Day Lunch | Sea Day Lunch | Royal Palace Dinner Menu

Enchanted Garden (Deck 2)

Finally, we’ve reached the last complimentary main dining room onboard Disney Dream – Enchanted Garden. Inspired by the Gardens of Versailles, color-changing glass ceiling lights make guests feel as though they are in an outdoor garden, with a large fountain at the center of the venue (with a little Mickey Mouse, of course).

This menu features lighter fare. We dined here on the first night of our cruise, and we enjoyed the ahi tuna, sea scallops, and sea bass.

We later returned to this restaurant for the cruise line’s signature Pirate Night, which features a unique menu with Caribbean-inspired selections.

Enchanted Garden Dinner Menu | Pirate Night Menu

Flo’s Cafe (Deck 11)

Inspired by Pixar’s Cars, Flo’s Cafe is a food hall-style eatery on the pool deck open for lunch and dinner. Ramone’s Cantina, newly added during Disney Dream’s October 2024 dry dock, join the three previous food stalls. These four stalls within Flo’s Cafe cater to everyone’s needs. All stalls are open during lunch hours, while at least one rotating stall stays open later as a dinner option.

• Luigi’s Pizza – serving classic cheese, pepperoni, and a rotating selection of other pizzas
• Tow Mater’s Grill – serving chicken tenders, hot dogs, burgers, and fries
• NEW Ramone’s Cantina – serving build-your-own tacos and bowls
• Filmore’s Favorites – serving specialty sandwiches, salads, and wraps

NEW: Ramone’s Cantina allows guests to fill tacos and bowls with seasoned beef, chicken, rice, beans, or fajita vegetables. Toppings include guacamole, salsa, sour cream, queso fresco, and Mexican cheese blend. This is very similar to Donald’s Cantina found on Disney Wish.

Luigi’s Pizza | Tow Mater’s Grill | Filmore’s Favorites

Eye Scream (Deck 11)

Everyone’s favorite one-eyed monster, Mike Wazowski from Disney’s Monsters, Inc., is serving up all-you-can-enjoy soft-serve ice cream! Eye Scream always offers vanilla and chocolate, with additional rotating flavors such as strawberry or banana.

Cabanas (Deck 11)

Cabanas is the buffet onboard Disney Dream. The boardwalk decor brings guests to the beach, with surfboards lining the buffet area—they even have five sandcastles representing the five Disney theme park castles! A 30-foot Finding Nemo-inspired tile mosaic lines the buffet entrance from the elevator.

Unlike other cruise line buffets, Cabanas is open for breakfast and lunch but is closed for dinner.

Guests can enjoy standard American breakfast options such as hashbrowns, scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage, waffles, yogurts, and fruits. For lunch, any seafood lover should make their way to the unlimited peel-and-eat shrimp and crab legs, while others can find lunch offerings of salads, burgers, mac and cheese, chicken, and a rotating international cuisine section.

Room Service

One standout feature of Disney Cruise Line is its complimentary room service, which is included in the cruise fare and offered 24 hours a day.

Guests can request coffee, pastries, cereal, and fruits by door hanger for breakfast. The all-day menu includes items such as chicken wings, pizzas, and burgers. Be sure to ask about the off-menu Mickey Ice Cream Bars! Additionally, room service also has Smucker’s Uncrustables off-menu. This has come in handy a few times for our sometimes-picky son.

Room Service Menu

Specialty Restaurants on Disney Dream

While Disney Cruise Line does not offer as many specialty restaurants as other cruise lines, there are some dining venues onboard Disney Dream that you should consider if you are looking for an elevated dining experience.

These venues have an additional charge associated with them, and two require advanced reservations through the Disney Cruise website in advance. For cruisers unable to make reservations before departure, there is a dining desk on embarkation day to check for availability.

Palo (Deck 12)

Palo is one of two adults-only dining venues on Disney Dream. Guests must be 18 years of age or older, and this venue requires advanced reservations. Palo is available for brunch on select days and dinner nightly. Brunch is a set price of $50 per person with an all-you-can-eat menu, while dinner offers cruisers a 4-course prix-fixe menu for $50 per person or an a la carte menu. Additionally, Palo does have a dress code.

Gold, deep reds, and dark wood set the tone for the decor. Large paintings and wine displays cover the walls, and be sure to get the story on the chandelier in the check-in area.

Palo’s menu is inspired by Northern Italian cuisine. Brunch features items such as wood-fired pizzas, elegant egg dishes, and the famous parmesan-crusted chicken breast with risotto. Dinner takes elegance a step further with offerings such as house-made butternut squash agnolotti, calamari, Dover sole, and seared scallops. Be sure to order the chocolate souffle at the beginning of your meal, as it does take a while to cook.

Palo Brunch Menu | Palo Dinner Menu

Remy (Deck 12)

The most luxurious dining experience onboard Disney Dream is Remy. This French-inspired menu was crafted by Scott Hummel, an award-winning chef from Disney World’s Victoria and Albert’s, assisted by 3-star Michelin chef Chef Arnaud.

Remy offers dinner nightly and brunch on longer sailings. Dinner costs $135 per person, and there are two menu experiences to choose from. Each meal begins with a complimentary champagne. Additional wine pairing enhancements are also available. Remy’s menu offerings are a bit more adventurous, including options such as toothfish, langoustines, and wagyu beef.

A 5-course dessert experience is also offered at Remy on select days, costing $65 per person.

Semi-formal to formal dress is required at Remy.

Remy Menu | Remy Dessert Experience Menu

Pub 687 (Deck 4)

Pub 687 is located within the District, being the perfect place to catch a sports game. Cherry wood decor gives English pub vibes, with high-top tables, bar stools, and couches for lounging.

Pub 687 is a popular spot for trivia and crafts and transforms into an adults-only venue after 9 p.m. For an upcharge, a small selection of bar food options, including chicken wings, chips and dips, pretzels, and sliders, is available.

Pub 687 Menu

Vanellope’s Sweets (Deck 11)

For cruisers with a sweet tooth craving that Eye Scream can’t satisfy, look no further than the upcharge venue of Vanellope’s Sweets. Step into the game of Sugar Rush from Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph, where you’ll find specialty gelatos, cookies, cupcakes, and more. Souvenir options and options to create your own sundaes are available as well.

Frozone’s Treats (Deck 11)

Located next to Eye Scream is Frozone’s Treats. Here, one of our favorite superheroes from The Incredibles serves smoothies and the famous Dole Whip dessert for an additional cost.

Atlas Ocean Voyages’ ships offer an array of onboard dining options. No matter where your cruise is headed, the included dining options provide some of the best meals at sea. We should know, as we have sailed with the cruise line twice. So, to help ensure your Atlas Ocean Voyages expedition is smooth sailing, we have compiled this comprehensive Atlas Ocean Voyages restaurant guide.

Not only does this guide include all of the Atlas Ocean Voyages restaurant menus, but we also have the bar and lounge menus. One benefit of sailing with this luxe-adventure brand is that all food, a wide array of spirits, and premium nonalcoholic beverages are also part of the cruise fare.

Bon appetit!

Atlas Ocean Voyages Restaurant Guide

Paula’s Pantry

Located on Deck 4 midship is Paula’s Pantry. This onboard café is typically open from about 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. For coffee lovers, this is your onboard stop for espresso-based drinks and premium teas. The venue also serves freshly made juices and smoothies.

For those wanting a bite to eat, the venue offers a selection of quick grab-and-go light bites. There are breakfast pastries in the morning, like croissants, donuts, and danishes. There are also continental items like yogurt parfaits and fruit. But our clear favorite was the ham and cheese toasty. These warm and gooey handheld breakfast sandwiches were a perfect start to a cold and snowy day in Antarctica! Of course, they tasted just as yummy in the Mediterranean.

In the afternoons, the Paula’s Pantry menu offers some sandwiches and snacks. These items rotate throughout the cruise. Along with finger sandwiches, cruisers can find personal-sized pizzas and mini wraps. Some freshly baked cookies and muffins were also a nice treat after a day of exploring ashore.

Paula’s Pantry Coffee Menu

Breakfast

The main dining room on your Atlas Ocean Voyages ship offers a breakfast buffet each morning. Usually, breakfast is served from around 7:30 AM or 8:00 AM and remains open for two hours.

The buffet includes a scrambled egg special of the day and a wide array of side dishes, including breakfast meats, grilled vegetables, and breakfast potatoes. There are also cereals, fresh fruit, breakfast pastries, and a full European continental breakfast.

In addition, expeditioners can order from a custom breakfast menu. This menu includes made-to-order omelets, eggs benedict, American pancakes, and French toast.

Atlas Ocean Voyages Breakfast Buffet Menu | Atlas Ocean Voyages Breakfast Entree Menu

Lunch

Likewise, the ship’s main dining room serves a lunch buffet. Typically, lunch is served from around 12 pm to 1:30 pm. The lunch buffet had a salad bar, hot entrees, and daily desserts.  There is also a custom Caesar salad bar and a wide selection of baked breads.

Selections typically include a carving station, a pasta dish, and a few international main courses. Some of these options included a suckling pig, herbed chicken breast, vegetable lasagna, braised lamb, or teriyaki chicken.

Sides like white rice or mashed potatoes often accompanied the main courses. 

During our Antarctica cruise, the lunch buffet also featured a custom wok station cooking up a daily special. This ranged from sauteed mussels to shrimp pad tai. However, this was not the case in the Mediterranean.

For dessert, there were several ice cream selections and sweet treats like crème brulee, apple tart tatin, or vanilla eclairs.

Example of Lunch Buffet Menus in Antarctica | Example of the Lunch Buffet Menus in Mediterranean

Afternoon Tea

Every afternoon at 4 pm, tea is served in one of the lounges. When in Antarctica, various teas from around the world complemented small sandwiches and canapes that mainly remained the same. We couldn’t help but sample the macrons and tea cakes while enjoying our “Be Cool” and Darjeeling N⁰37 after a few cold afternoons exploring the white continent.

However, on our Mediterranean cruise, the tea service was different. Guests could help themselves to a similar selection of teas and then order sweet treats from a small menu of desserts.

Atlas Ocean Voyages Antarctica Afternoon Tea Menu | Tea Dessert Menu

Dinner in the Atlas Ocean Voyages Main Dining Room

Dinner on an Atlas Ocean Voyages expedition typically runs for two hours. Depending on the itinerary, dinner started at either 7 or 7:30 PM with the last seating a half-hour before the restaurant closes. The restaurant is open seating.

During our cruise, we dined at a table for two on some occasions. On other nights, we joined a larger table and dined with some newly made friends. From our observations, this was true for most cruisers, with tablemates and sizes changing each night. Though, it is nice that guests have the option to dine alone if they choose.

Regarding the Atlas Ocean Voyages restaurant menus, dinner functions like a traditional cruise. The yacht’s main dining room offers a rotational menu each night with different starters, entrees, and desserts. 

Further, like many cruise lines, there is also an “Always Available” section. This section of the menu remained the same for the entire cruise. This menu included a Caesar salad, tomato soup, and three entrees during our expedition. There were also several traditional side dishes, like truffle French fries, mac and cheese, and sauteed vegetables.

The cruise line also features a plant-based menu with several starters, a main course, and a different dessert each night of the cruise.

There are also regional specialties depending on the itinerary. On our Epicurean Expedition in the Mediterranean, we were treated to dishes like seared Swordfish from a local market in Sicily. There were also freshly made pasta dishes from Master Chef Marcello Zaccaria. Among the irresistible, al dente selections were the Pasta Alla Norma and the Trofie Alla Pesto Genovese.

While there are fewer selections than on mainstream cruise lines, the options were more upscale. Besides the aforementioned options, some of my favorites included the succulent Black Angus Chateaubriand, the Rack of Lamb, the Mongolian Beef, and Hunan Shrimps.

Example of Atlas Antarctica Dinner Menus | Example of Atlas Mediterranean Dinner Menus

Atlas Ocean Voyages 7 Aft Grill

In warmer climates, there’s the 7 Aft Grill on the pool deck of Atlas Ocean Voyages’ ships. For lunch, this al fresco dining spot features pizzas, burgers, and other handhelds freshly made straight off the grill.

Aside from the made-to-order selections off the menu, many of the same items found on that day’s lunch buffet in the main dining room are also found at this venue’s small outdoor buffet. These selections include a salad bar, continental items, fresh fruit, and small desserts.

The venue then becomes the cruise ship’s signature steakhouse in the evenings. During our Mediterranean cruise, the restaurant was open from 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM. With premium cuts of beef, upgraded side dishes, and decadent desserts, it is perfect for an elegant evening out. Among the standout items during our visit were the chef’s cobb salad and the homemade Louisiana crawfish ravioli, as well the ribeye steak.

The venue is complimentary, but reservations are required for dinner. During the cruise, guests can make reservations at Guest Services.

Atlas Ocean Voyages Room Service

The included room service is one thing we love about the Atlas Ocean Voyages dining. Room service is available 24 hours a day. Along with food delivery, cruisers can also order beverages from the bar free of charge. This is in addition to the fully stocked mini bar replenished daily in your stateroom.

When it comes to options, there is a pretty standard breakfast menu offering custom breakfast options that you can enjoy “whenever you wake up”.

My go-to in the morning was the Classic Atlas breakfast, with pastries, a cold cuts and cheese plate, fruit, and egg selection. There were also sides like bagels, hash browns, bacon, and other breakfast accompaniments.   

For the remainder of the day, guests can order from a small menu of lunch-type items. Atlas Ocean Voyages did update the room service menu between our two sailings that were six months apart. The menu now includes a chicken Caesar wrap, a new flatbread, and an impressive 6oz WAGYU beef burger, served with perfectly seasoned fries.

The Explorer’s Table

The Explorer’s Table is a new dining experience coming to Atlas Ocean Voyages. This wasn’t available during our sailings with the expedition line, but it will be offered on polar voyages in The Dome. The Explorer’s Table will present global culinary highlights from Spain, Korea, France, Argentina, and North America. This specialty dinner experience will be available only once each sailng for 10 guests and comes with a price of $179.

Atlas Ocean Voyages Bars and Lounges

All Atlas Ocean Voyages ships have three bars. The Deck 7 pool bar is open in warmer climates. When the weather permits, the bar remains open from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM.

The forward-facing Dome offers excellent views of the bow forward on Deck 7. It was also home to the late-night scene on our cruise.

Finally, there is the Atlas Lounge on Deck 4. This is a popular pre-dinner drink spot with live music. It was also home to a few live music events after dinner and the crew talent show. These were the closest things to “entertainment” in the evenings.

All of the bars feature a variety of included cocktails, with a few specialties distinct to each venue.

While a wide range of spirits are included in the bar menu, some select beverages are an upcharge. This is also true when it comes to the included wine at dinner. The cruise line features several white, red, and rose wines, but cruisers can pay a la carte for other non-included wines to enhance their meals further.

Any cocktail we could think of was included in the cruise fare. So, most cruisers should have no issues with the included beverages. For those with particular tastes, many of the upcharge liquors were between $7 and $12.

Venchi 1878 Bar Menu

Shine Bar (Deck 6)

The Shine Bar is located in the open atrium on Deck 6. This bar is open from 4 PM daily, serving the ship’s standard bar menu. Overlooking all the action of the atrium, this is a great place to grab a drink while enjoying the live music or nightly festivities that occur here.

Of note, there is no bar located in Times Square also on this deck. So, if you are heading there to listen to the live piano music, you might want to grab a drink at the Shine Bar first. There are some servers in the area taking drink orders as well.

Le Cabaret Rouge (Deck 7)

Le Cabaret Rouge is an entertainment space located at the aft of MSC Seashore. This large, yet intimate venue is home to a variety show each evening which highlights several unique acts. It also hosts other activities and parties throughout the week like the popular Glow Party and karaoke. The venue turns into the ship’s nightclub each evening at 11:30 PM as well with a DJ spinning hits until sunrise.

During all this evening fun, you can grab your drinks from the bar in this venue which is open from 5 PM nightly and serves the standard bar menu.

This venue is not used much during the day. So, it can be a nice quiet spot to read, get some work done, or just relax away from the crowds.

Casino Bar (Deck 7)

The MSC Seashore Casino Bar is centrally located in the casino on Deck 7 and is adorned with an artistic representation of the Statue of Liberty. Lady Liberty can be seen from the deck above in Liberty Plaza.

The Casino Bar opens at 10 AM on sea days and later in the afternoon on port days depending on the ship’s time in port.

Champagne & Wine Bar (Deck 7)

The dazzling Champagne & Wine Bar is located off the open atrium on Deck 7. This bar’s menu offers a variety of champagne, prosecco, and other bubbly drinks. Unlike our previous trip on Seascape though, there are no champagne-based cocktails on the menu here.

This bar is open from 5 PM until 1 AM daily and is a great spot to grab a pre-dinner cocktail while enjoying some of the happenings in the atrium.

While many of the bars on MSC Seashore lack theming or unique décor, the Brooklyn Café is an exception. This venue features oversized chairs and tables reminescent of a writer’s room.

The elegant Cocktail Bar in the Chef’s Court on MSC Seashore serves a variety of fun and refreshing drinks.

Perhaps one of the best areas on MSC Seashore is Deck 8 aft. This space features the adults-only Infinity Pool. These two pools offer great wake views and even some in-pool loungers. Conveniently located nearby, there is an outdoor bar and gelato shop as well.

The Sky Bar is generally open 8 AM until 9 PM and serves only beer and wine.

The post Complete Guide to All the MSC Seashore Bars With Menus and Drink Prices appeared first on EatSleepCruise.com.

We’ve just returned from a sailing with MSC Cruises and are back to share all the dining details with you in our complete guide to the MSC Seashore restaurants with menus. Check out all the complimentary and specialty dining options available on the ship, so you can plan where you want to eat during your cruise.

Complimentary MSC Seashore Restaurants

When it comes to complimentary dining, MSC Seashore has only a few options that are included in your cruise fare. These include the main dining rooms and the Marketplace Buffet. Unlike many competitor cruise lines, there are no alternative casual and complimentary dining spots available on this ship. This means no pizza parlor, no poolside burger joint or Mexican fare, and no café.

• Central Park Restaurant (Deck 5)
• Tribeca Restaurant (Deck 6)
• 5th Avenue Restaurant (Deck 7)*
• Manhattan Restaurant (Deck 7)
• Marketplace Buffet (Deck 16)

Main Dining Rooms (Decks 5, 6, 7)

When it comes to the main dining room on MSC Seashore, there are four different venues (Central Park, Tribeca, 5th Avenue, and Manhattan) and several different dining times. Guests booked in the Bella and Fantastica Experiences will be assigned a dining time and dining room, with Fantastica getting priority for requested dining times.

Aurea Experience guests get My Choice Dining in a separate dining room. My Choice Dining allows you to choose a different dining time each night of your cruise. Aurea guests can dine in the 5th Avenue Restaurant between 5:30 and 9 PM.

The three remaining restaurants: Central Park, Tribeca, and Manhattan are reserved for Assigned Dining guests. These restaurants offer Early Seating and Late Seating with times as follows:

Early Seating: Central Park 5:15 PM, Tribeca 5:30 PM, Manhattan 6 PM

Late Seating: Central Park 7:15 PM, Tribeca 7:30 PM, Manhattan 8 PM, Central Park 9:15 PM

The Central Park Restaurant is also open for breakfast daily from around 7:30 to 9 AM, lunch on select days including embarkation day, and brunch on sea days from around 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM.

Regardless of whether you have Assigned Dining or My Choice Dining, all four restaurants offer the same rotational menu for dinner. These menus do change nightly with a list of classics that stay the same throughout the cruise. Each night, the menu includes a rotational selection of starters, entrees, and desserts.

Second entrees will cost an additional $5 per dish.

Breakfast | Lunch Day 1 | Sea Day Brunch | Dinner 1 | Dinner 2 | Dinner 3 | Dinner 4 | Dinner 5 | Dinner 6 | Dinner 7 | Kids Menus

Marketplace Buffet & Restaurant (Deck 16)

The Marketplace Buffet & Restaurant is the only casual, complimentary dining option available on MSC Seashore.

This venue is open for breakfast from around 6:30 to 11 AM daily.

At breakfast, the Marketplace Buffet features your typical offerings. There is a custom egg and omelet station all the way aft in the venue. Additional menu items include options like scrambled eggs, breakfast meats, pancakes and waffles, and breakfast pastries. Cereal, fruit, and other continental items are available as well. 

Lunch is served from around 12 to 4 PM. Dinner is available 6 to 9 PM with late night snacks from 10 to 1 AM.

Lunch and dinner features a number of different stands with various food offerings. These include a pizza station, a pasta station, a salad bar, international hot entrees, charcuterie with meats and cheeses, and hamburgers and hot dogs.

These selections are scattered across two separate dining areas with the midship elevators separating the venue into two restaurants. 

MSC Yacht Club Restaurant (Deck 18)

The Yacht Club is MSC Cruises’ “ship within a ship” concept. Not only does the MSC Yacht Club feature the most luxurious accommodations on the ship, it includes an exclusive sundeck, restaurant, lounge, and bar. These facilities require keycard access and are limited to only those staying within the Yacht Club.

The MSC Yacht Club Restaurant is located on Deck 18 of MSC Seashore. This venue serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner featuring a menu with more upscale selections than the main dining rooms. The lunch and dinner menus do change daily. Breakfast is available 7/7:30 to 9/9:30 AM daily, lunch on most days from 12 to 1:30 PM, and dinner from 5:30 to 9 PM nightly.

Additionally, there’s the One Pool Buffet and Grill on the Deck 20 sundeck that serves buffet style selections for those lounging poolside. Breakfast items are available 7/7:30 to 10/10:30 AM, lunch items 12 to 3 PM, and afternoon snacks 3:30 to 4:30 PM. Once again, these items are more upscale including seafood selections, steak, a carving station, custom-made burgers, and more.

Breakfast | Lunch 1 | Lunch 4 | Lunch 5 | Lunch 6 | Lunch 7 | Dinner 1 | Dinner 2 | Dinner 3 | Dinner 4 | Dinner 5 | Dinner 6 | Dinner 7

Specialty MSC Seashore Restaurants

While you don’t have to spend money on food while cruising on MSC Seashore, there are quite a few up-charge restaurants that might be worth the splurge. If you choose to dine at the available specialty restaurants, you can either pay a la carte, pay a set fee for the limited Dining Experience menu, or purchase a specialty dining package.

If you are considering dining at a few of these venues, you might want to purchase a dining package. Dining Package prices for our sailing were:

• 4 Specialty Dining Experience $155
• 3 Specialty Dining Experience $110
• 2 Specialty Dining Experience $95
• Butcher’s Cut Chef’s Table $99
• Dinner and Bubbles $135

It is important to note that the specialty dining packages on MSC Cruises are slightly different than you find on most other cruise lines. Each package includes specific specialty restaurants. Thus, you are not able to customize your restaurant picks. Further, if you are on a dining package, you must order items off the limited Dining Experience menu and can purchase additional items off the full menu at a la carte prices.

If you plan to dine at any of these MSC Seashore restaurants, you should make reservations as soon as possible, as popular restaurants and dining times do fill up quickly. You can make reservations either pre-cruise or once onboard the ship at the desk located near the specialty restaurants on Deck 8.

During our sailing, we decided to dine at Butcher’s Cut, Kaito Teppanyaki, and Hola! Tacos and Cantina. All meals were great, and we think MSC shines when it comes to specialty dining.

Venchi 1878 Chocolate Bar (Deck 6)

The Venchi 1878 Chocolate Bar is a chocolate lover’s paradise. This venue serves a variety of non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages made with the brand’s signature chocolate including some delicious espresso-based drinks. The bar also serves a variety of other chocolates and gelato that are crafted on board in an open-air kitchen.

Venchi is generally open every day from 8 AM to 12 AM. Unfortunately though, none of the drinks (or other items) at Venchi are included in any of the MSC drink packages.

Venchi 1878 Menu

Sports Bar (Deck 8)

Adorned with various sports memorabilia, this classic American sports bar offers a variety of beers, a fully stocked bar for other beverages, an oversized television for sports broadcasts, and individual TV booths to watch the action.

This venue also serves up classic game time food options at a la carte prices. It’s the perfect spot to grab some friends, brews, and chicken wings to watch your favorite team play.

The Sports Bar opens anywhere between 10 AM and 3 PM depending on the ship’s call into port and remains open until 1 AM.

Sports Bar Menu

Hola! Tacos and Cantina (Deck 8)

Hola! Tacos and Cantina serves up Mexican-style street food in a vibrant open setting restaurant, with a nearby bar also serving up some tasty drinks.

At Hola!, guests can choose an all you can eat option for a set fee of $17.99 per person or pay a la carte for each menu item. The menu features a variety of Mexican favorites like guacamole, tacos, enchiladas, burritos, nachos, quesadillas, and more.

This is a great option for a casual lunch or dinner on MSC Seashore. Hola! is open daily from 12 to 10 PM.

Hola! Menu

Butcher’s Cut (Deck 8)

The Butcher’s Cut is the signature steakhouse on MSC Seashore. This upscale restaurant is one of the best at sea in our opinion, featuring premium cuts of beef alongside various starters, sides, and desserts. There’s also a signature cocktail menu and wine list that pairs perfectly with your dinner.

The venue features an open kitchen, a large dining room, and additional al fresco seating on the waterfront.

The Butcher’s Cut is open nightly for dinner from 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM and on select days for brunch from 10 AM to 2 PM.

Kaito Teppanyaki (Deck 8)

Like many cruise lines, MSC Seashore offers a Japanese hibachi-style restaurant. Kaito Teppanyaki is open nightly for dinner from 5:30 to 9:30 PM with set seatings and on select days for lunch from 12 to 1:30 PM.

This teppanyaki restaurant’s menu features set tasting combinations at varying prices. Each begins with a sushi and sashimi plate, miso soup, teppan salad, and fried rice. There is then a fish portion and a meat portion which varies based on which experience you select. The meal then concludes with a pineapple and matcha ice cream dessert. There is an additional vegetarian and kids menu available.

Once you make your selections, it’s time to sit back and enjoy this interactive dinner show. Watch your chef cook up the meal right in front of you with a little singing and fun along the way.

Kaito Teppanyaki Menu

Kaito Sushi Bar (Deck 8)

Unique to MSC Cruises is the Kaito Sushi Bar complete with its own sushi conveyor belt. This venue is priced completely a la carte and is not part of any of the dining packages.

Kaito Sushi is open 5:30 to 9:30 PM nightly for dinner and 12 to 2 PM on select days for lunch.

At Kaito Sushi, cruisers can pull up a seat at the bar top and select items from the conveyor belt in front of them. Plates are color-coded based on pricing. There are also additional items on the menu like tempura, teriyaki, soup, noodles, and desserts.

Kaito Sushi Menu

Ocean Cay Restaurant (Deck 8)

Ocean Cay Restaurant is the intimate seafood specialty restaurant on MSC Seashore. There are various hot and cold appetizers, main courses such as lobster tail, and desserts. However, if someone in your travel party does not like seafood, there are very limited non-seafood items available at this venue.

Ocean Cay Restaurant is open nightly for dinner from 5:30 to 9:30 PM and select days for lunch from 12 to 2 PM.

Ocean Cay Restaurant Menu

Venchi 1878 Gelato (Deck 8)

MSC Seashore has several nods to the cruise line’s Italian heritage including signature Venchi gelato. A Venchi 1878 Gelato shop can be found aft on Deck 8 near the Infinity Pool. This counter serves a variety of gelato flavors as well as gelato bars, candies, and more at up-charge prices.

There are also additional spots to grab some gelato around the ship including near the Jungle Pool Beach Bar on Deck 16 and the Long Island Bar on Deck 18. Of course, you can score this sweet treat at the Chocolate Bar on Deck 6 as well.

You might be wondering- Is ice cream free on MSC Cruises? Sadly, the gelato is not included in any of the MSC drink packages or dining packages. But, soft serve ice cream is now free and served in the buffet.

Venchi Gelato Menu

Room Service

Room Service delivery is included with Fantastica and Aurea experiences on breakfast and 24 hour room service orders. Bella Experience guests will be charged $3.50 for delivery. However, you do still need to pay for the menu items ordered regardless of your Experience level.

Continental breakfast items are complimentary, but other items range in price from $3 for a sandwich to $7.95 for dinner items like pasta, salmon, a burger, or a NY strip steak. A pizza menu is also available with prices from $6 to $9.50.

Room service is included for Yacht Club guests.

The post Our MSC Seashore Restaurants Guide With Menus appeared first on EatSleepCruise.com.

The world’s biggest weekend calls for an epic celebration. Luckily, Royal Caribbean’s newest cruise ship, Utopia of the Seas, features a variety of bars and lounges with signature drink menus. Not sure where to start? Our complete look at all the Utopia of the Seas bars includes all of the drink menus to help you make the difficult decisions.

Complete Guide to All the Utopia of the Seas Bars With Menus and Drink Prices

When it comes to drinks on Royal Caribbean, guests can enjoy filtered water, brewed coffee, hot and iced tea, lemonade, and some juices included in the cruise fare. However, all alcoholic beverages and well as specialty coffee and some other non-alcoholic drinks will cost extra. To help you budget appropriately, we have all the menus and current drink prices for each of the Utopia of the Seas bars.

If you plan to test out all the options onboard this new ship, you may want to consider purchasing a drink package. Royal Caribbean’s prices are dynamic, which means they fluctuate based on ship, time of year, etc.

In recent years, the price for a deluxe drink package has drastically increased. For our recent sailing on Utopia of the Seas, the list price was $115 per person, per day. There was a 35% pre-cruise discount, making it $73.99 per person, per day. This is still quite pricey, as guests would need to drink over 5 cocktails a day even at this cheapest promotional price just to break even.

If you are loyal to Royal, those with higher tier statuses in the Crown and Anchor Society receive drink vouchers which can be used at most of the Utopia of the Seas bars. Honestly, since we achieved Diamond status, we find that a drink package no longer makes financial sense for us.

Now Diamond Plus, we had 5 drink vouchers over 3 days to test out all the drinks on this newest ship in the Royal Caribbean fleet. Wondering what’s on the menu? We cover it all in this Utopia of the Seas bar guide.

The Attic (Deck 4)

The Attic is a multi-purpose nighttime venue that hosts comedy shows during the cruise. These shows require a reservation that can presently only be made once onboard the ship. After hours, the venue turns into a party with the resident DJ spinning the latest hits until the wee hours of the morning. The venue also hosts the new Royal Kappa Chi party.

The Attic has a full bar ready to serve up your favorite drinks off the Royal Caribbean standard bar menu.

Casino Royale Bar (Deck 4)

If you find yourself in the casino, you’ll probably need a beverage to go along with your gaming. Lucky for you, there’s the conveniently located Casino Royale Bar. Even if you don’t like to gamble, getting a drink here is a safe bet as this is one of the late night bars on the ship.

Spotlight Karaoke (Deck 5)

Aptly named, Spotlight Karaoke is the karaoke bar on Utopia of the Seas. This venue has a full bar with bartenders ready to provide you with a bit of liquid courage before your stage debut. When cruisers are not belting out their best renditions of hit songs, the venue also hosts trivia, game shows, and various other activities.

Boleros (Deck 5)

The Latin-inspired Boleros is a staple on Royal Caribbean cruise ships. Whether you choose to relax while listening to some Latin music or partake in a dance class here, be sure to order some drinks from this venue’s specialty bar menu boasting cocktails like daquiris, caipirinhas, and other rum-based drinks.

Boleros Menu

Starbucks (Deck 5)

Just like the popular coffee shop on land, Utopia of the Seas has its own Starbucks serving up all your favorite drinks. From lattes to iced teas, refreshers, and frappuccinos, your handcrafted beverage awaits you. However, they will cost you extra money.

Beverages at Starbucks are priced a la carte and are not included in the deluxe beverage package or the Café Select coffee card. Don’t worry though, the Starbucks drinks at Cafe Promenade are included to help keep you caffeinated.

Starbucks Menu

Bell & Barley (Deck 5)

New ship, new pub name, same great atmosphere! This English-style pub is a go-to spot on any Royal Caribbean ship for a beer and some live music. If you prefer a classic drink, there are cocktails on the newly enhanced menu too.

Bell & Barley features acoustic guitar music in the evenings so you can sing along with popular songs in the heart of all the action on the Royal Promenade.

Bell & Barley Menu

Café Promenade (Deck 5)

Open 24 hours a day, Café Promenade is your go-to spot for snacks and coffee any time. Serving up breakfast pastries, sandwiches, cookies, and other small desserts, you will never go hungry.

Like most Royal Caribbean ships, specialty coffee is available at Café Promenade as well. Unlike the stand-alone Starbucks location, these espresso-based drinks are included in the Deluxe Beverage Package or the Café Select coffee card.

Café Promenade Menu

Rising Tide Bar (Deck 5)

The Rising Tide Bar is a unique experience found only on Royal Caribbean’s Oasis class ships. This capsule-like bar ascends and descends 3 floors from the Promenade to Central Park at set schedules throughout the evening.

This Utopia of the Seas bar serves up an abbreviated version of the standard menu.

Rising Tide Bar Menu

Pesky Parrot (Deck 5)

Taking the place of the Bionic Bar on other Oasis class ships is a brand-new bar, Pesky Parrot. Giving off Bamboo Room vibes, this Polynesian themed bar is the perfect fit on Utopia of the Seas. Showcasing vibrant colors, funky furniture and decor, and a signature cocktail menu, you won’t want to miss this venue…or the namesake animatronic parrot, Brian!

With twists on classic favorites, the menu features drinks like Pesky’s Peanut Butter Pina, Pretty Bird, Mai Time of My Life, and Monkey Business. How many of these new cocktails can you try in just three or four days?

Pesky Parrot Menu

Schooner Bar (Deck 6)

The Schooner Bar is Royal Caribbean’s nautically themed piano bar that is a staple on most ships. Located on the upper level of the Royal Promenade, this venue is home to various activities during the day including trivia as well as live piano music at night. 

The Schooner Bar’s specialty menu has been updated recently, but it still features some of our favorite cocktails, like the Lavender Daiquiri, along with other new and tasty drinks like the Toasted Marshmallow Old Fashioned.

Schooner Bar Menu

Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade (Deck 6)

This returning favorite is located on the family-friendly Boardwalk of Utopia of the Seas. It’s home to a large collection of televisions broadcasting games from around the world. It also serves up a variety of game time food favorites and a wide selection of beer. The food selections here are priced a la carte and include items like chicken wings, nachos, an onion ring tower, and the signature Playmakers burger.

Playmakers Menu

Trellis Bar (Deck 8)

The Trellis Bar is in Central Park on Utopia of the Seas. This venue offers a relaxed, outdoor space to grab a drink and enjoy the serenity of the neighborhood day or night. New to this ship, the Trellis Bar is now connected to the Chops Grille specialty restaurant.

So, whether you want to grab a pre-dinner drink, enjoy the company of good friends alongside some light music, or just marvel at the nighttime sky, the Trellis Bar is the perfect place.

Music Hall (Decks 8 & 9)

The Music Hall is a rock and roll themed venue. It features two bars, one on each level, with musically inspired cocktails that you can sip while enjoying popular tribute bands. With plush seating, a center stage, and dance floor, you can certainly rock out in this venue on Utopia of the Seas.

Music Hall Menu

Giovanni’s Wine Bar (Deck 12)

Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen and Wine Bar have been relocated on Utopia of the Seas. Moved up from Central Park, this venue takes the place of the former Wonderland restaurant on Wonder of the Seas.

This new 2-story space affords great views overlooking the Boardwalk from the specialty restaurant, wine bar, and new Gio’s Terrazza outdoor patio.

The Wine Bar features a variety of wines along with select food items at a la carte prices. So, guests can still grab a drink and a snack without a reservation at the restaurant.

Giovanni’s Wine Bar Menu

Solarium Bar (Deck 15)

The two-story Solarium is exclusively for adults. Located on Deck 15, the Solarium Bar is situated in the middle of this relaxation hub. This open space features comfy furniture, unaltered views, and a fully-stocked bar, making it the perfect spot day or night.

In the Solarium, you can sip a cocktail in style as you lounge in this kid-free zone recovering from the weekend party. Or, you’ll definitely want to grab a drink during the Silent Toga party that occurs here.

Vue Bar (Deck 15)

Debuting on Wonder of the Seas, the Vue Bar is a cantilevered bar taking the place of one of the hot tubs on other Oasis class ships. This venue features panoramic ocean views from high above on the pool deck. After sunset, this bar shines bright with a colorful mosaic canopy. So, it’s always the perfect time to enjoy a drink at The Vue. 

The Vue Bar Menu

The Lime & Coconut Bars (Decks 15 & 16)

The Lime and Coconut Bar has quickly become a fan favorite on Royal Caribbean cruise ships. As a staple of the Caribbean pool deck, Utopia of the Seas has not one, not two, but three, Lime and Coconut bars!

You can find two Lime and Coconut bars on deck 15 in the middle of the pool areas, one on the portside and the other on the starboard side. Additionally, there is a third Lime and Coconut bar overlooking the action on deck 16. Of note, the deck 15 starboard side bar is near the smoking section.

The Lime and Coconut Bars feature a signature drink menu with many tasty cocktails, including the signature Lime and Coconut drink.

Lime & Coconut Menu

Mason Jar Bar (Deck 15)

The Mason Jar also debuted on Wonder of the Seas. This casual, up-charge restaurant serves all your homestyle favorites in a farmhouse-style setting alongside live country music.

It also features a large bar with a selection of whiskey and bourbon cocktails like the Mississippi Moonlight and PB&J Old Fashioned. So, even if you don’t want to pay extra to dine here, you can still enjoy the cocktails and the music. And we definitely suggest you do so! This is one of the most happening spots on Utopia of the Seas in the evenings.

Mason Jar Bar Menu

Cantina Fresca (Deck 16)

Adjacent to the Mexican favorite, El Loco Fresh, this bar has a specialty drink menu featuring a selection of margaritas, cocktails, and Mexican beers. Why not try the signature Pineapple Jalapeno margarita?

These drinks pair perfectly with lunch at El Loco Fresh or with just a day of sun and fun. Just be sure to hold off on the drinks until after trying the nearby FlowRider, Zipline, or Ultimate Abyss.

Cantina Fresca Menu

Wipe Out Bar (Deck 16)

Last but not least of the Utopia of the Seas bars is the Wipe Out Bar. Located completely aft, this is a great location to enjoy a drink while watching the action on the FlowRider or while your little ones are exploring the Playscape. It’s also a great spot to enjoy some wake views as your ship sails from one port to the next.

New on Utopia of the Seas is the addition of shaved ice. There are both alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions in a variety of flavors for an up-charge. Yes, even the non-alcoholic versions cost extra, and the drink packages do not work on them either.
