Spectrum of the Seas

American Icon Grill

Discover the taste of America with all your favourite comfort foods, hand-picked from cities across the states. The dishes are homespun in our kitchen with a few creative twists. New Orleans’ famous gumbo. New England clam chowder. Southern buttermilk fried chicken. All freshly served up in a welcoming surround of sweeping natural landscapes, iconic photography and décor accents emulating the classic American roadster.

Chic

The height of contemporary cuisine is realised at Chic, where the freshest ingredients of the wild are evolved for a modern palate. Proteins that pack a punch—beef rib-eye, lamb chops, Mediterranean sea bass—are treated to the delicate drizzle of sauces made from scratch. Salt is sea salt. Cream is crème. And truffles mingle with champagne for a butter sauce that surpasses all expectation.

Most intriguing: The first dry-aged steaks at sea, each hand-selected and aged for nearly four weeks to achieve the pinnacle of flavor, tenderness and aroma. This prime beef is joined by Maine lobster, veal Parmesan, grilled branzino and more succulent dishes paired with addictive sides and irresistible desserts.

Wonderland

At Wonderland, our chefs twist their culinary kaleidoscopes to invent an elaborate dreamscape of never-before-seen fare.

The story begins as you open the menu and find your element—Wind, Ice, Fire, Water, Earth and Dreams—each with a selection of small or shareable fantasies. Flash-frozen ice cream tops tender pork belly. Wasabi caviar mingles with spicy tuna cones. Sriracha eggs appear in a plume of smoke. And magical elixirs whisper, “Drink me.” Amidst amorphous mirrors, mystery and sensory surprises, the intention of it all becomes more certain with each maddeningly delicious bite.

The Grande Restaurant

The Grande Restaurant is a luxuriant nod to a bygone era. When dining was not a task, but a time-honored ritual. When you dressed for a date with an unforgettable dish. At The Grande, every night is formal night, and every night is a special occasion.

From Beef Wellington to Chicken a l’Orange, Roasted Scallops to Sole Almondine, the world’s favourite classic dishes come together in pure opulence at Quantum class’ most elegant restaurant.

Silk

Weave your way through a vibrant tapestry of pan-Asian flavours as diverse and nuanced as the Far East itself. Every tapestry tells a story – and this one brings together the greatest characters in the history of exotic cuisine.

Turmeric, cumin and red chili in a slow-cooked lamb curry. Ginger and sesame on crusted tuna. Sake-glazed salmon and teriyaki steak. On an eclectic yet balanced menu inspired by Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese and Indian cooking.

Coastal Kitchen

Exclusively for suite guests, Coastal Kitchen fuses Mediterranean influences with the unmatched riches of California’s bountiful farmlands. This is a destination that exudes pure freshness. From Pacific Coast favorites like sea bass ceviche, to the Central Valley’s sliced avocado and homemade blueberry pie, to Med-inspired tastes like Serrano ham, whipped goat cheese and roasted grapes.

Michael’s Genuine Pub

Food and drink. It doesn’t have to be so complicated. That’s the philosophy at Michael’s Genuine Pub, the first American gastropub at sea, brought to you by James Beard and award-winning chef Michael Schwartz.

Start with simple ingredients from the best artisanal producers. Combine them with a warm and friendly setting. Throw in a few more great reasons for people to gather, converse and share—like craft beers, including the chef’s own classic American ale, Michael’s Genuine Home Brew. And for those with their sights set beyond hops, a finely curated list of wine, cocktails and spirits, including bourbon whiskey flights, is sure to warm their cheeks.

Chops Grille

For more than a decade, the chefs of Chops Grille have proudly presented quality, hand cut steaks at Royal Caribbean’s hallmark restaurant. Now, they give you a fresh twist on a favourite, with a revamped menu that brings contemporary flair to traditional steakhouse offerings.

Most intriguing: The first dry-aged steaks at sea, each hand selected and aged for nearly four weeks to achieve the pinnacle of flavour, tenderness, and aroma. This prime beef is joined by Maine lobster, veal parmesan, grilled branzino and more succulent dishes paired with addictive sides and irresistible desserts.

Jamie’s Italian by Jamie Oliver

Warm up with Jamie’s Italian Famous Plank piled high with cured meats, pickles and tempting cheeses. From there, try delicious pastas made in-house everyday—like indulgent pumpkin panzerotti and zingy prawn linguine to name a few. Plus more entrées, small plates, a gorgeous selection of grills and tempting desserts.

Chef’s Table

Located in an intimate, exclusive enclave within Chops Grille, this private epicurean experience for up to 16 people treats you to a five-course, upgraded steakhouse menu and wine tasting.

Dinner at Chef’s Table is both experiential and educational, as the Chef de Cuisine specially prepares and presents each course, while explaining its cooking techniques, ingredients and flavours. Then a sommelier pairs every course with wine chosen to enhance your enjoyment of the dish.

Izumi

From sushi to sashimi and tableside cooking preparation using Hot Rocks, Royal Caribbean’s Izumi offers guests an exotic Asian-inspired dining experience.

Solarium Bistro

With an emphasis on freshness and “spa” cuisine for breakfast and lunch or an upscale dinner, Solarium Bistro offers the very best of healthy dining at sea.

The culinary genius and healthy comfort-food Chef behind Solarium Bistro’s menu is Devin Alexander, the bestselling author of eight cookbooks and Chef of NBC’s The Biggest Loser. She brings her unique approach to healthy cooking to the kitchens of Solarium Bistro where dishes are big on flavour and low in calories and fat.

Cigarette, cigar, e-cigarette and pipe smoking is permitted in designated outdoor areas. To assist in locating areas where smoking is permitted, guests will find visible signage posted within all smoking areas and ashtrays that are provided for use. Outdoor areas near restricted areas, food venues, and kids play areas and pools will not allow smoking. On Oasis class, smoking is not permitted in Central Park or the Boardwalk neighbourhoods.

Casino Royale allows smoking and has a designated area for non-smoking guests. There will be visible signage indicating the non-smoking area in the casino. All cruises departing from China and Hong Kong will not have a non-smoking area in the casino. Smoking is not permitted in the casino for any ships departing from Australia and the United Kingdom.

Onboard all interior public spaces are smoke free*. Smoking is not permitted in any dining venue, theatre, bar, lounge, hallway, elevator, and jogging track.

Smoking is not permitted inside any stateroom and any stateroom balcony. This applies to all stateroom categories onboard. If a guest is in violation of this stateroom policy, a cleaning fee of $250 USD will be applied to their SeaPass® account and may be subject to further action pursuant to the “Consequences Section” of the Guest Conduct Policy.

Cigarettes, cigars and pipe tobacco must be properly disposed of and never thrown overboard. Cigar and pipe tobacco is limited to designated outdoor areas and Cigar Bars**. You must be at least 18 years of age to purchase, possess or use tobacco onboard.

Electronic cigarettes or e-cigarettes are only permitted within the designated smoking areas.

Royal Caribbean International kindly asks all guests to please observe the smoking policy. These requests are made to provide a comfortable cruise for everyone. Guest may also inquire at Guest Services for the location of the designated smoking areas onboard.

Guests who violate this smoking policy may be subject to further action pursuant to the “Consequences Section” of this Guest Conduct Policy.

Royal Caribbean updated the smoking policy September 2013 and the above policy is in enforcement on all ships with cruises departing on or after January 1, 2014.

Gratuities: The automatic service gratuity is $14.50 USD per person, per day for guests in Junior Suites and below, or $17.50 USD per person, per day for guests in Grand Suites and above, applied to each guest’s SeaPass account on a daily basis. The gratuity applies to individual guests of all ages and stateroom categories. As a way to reward our crew members for their outstanding service, gratuities are shared among dining, bar & culinary services staff, stateroom attendants and other hotel services teams who work behind the scenes to enhance the cruise experience. In the unlikely event that a guest onboard being charged the daily automatic gratuity does not receive satisfactory service, the guest may request to modify the daily amount at their discretion by visiting Guest Services onboard and will be able to do so until the morning of their departure. Guests who have pre-paid their gratuity will not see a daily charge during their cruise. The automatic daily gratuity is based on customary industry standards. Applying this charge automatically helps streamline the recognition process for the crew members that work to enhance your cruise. We hope you find the gratuity to be an accurate reflection of your satisfaction and thank you for your generous recognition of our staff. A 18% gratuity is automatically added to all beverages, mini bar items, and spa & salon purchases. Guests can pre-pay gratuities by calling (UK) 0344 493 4005 / (Ireland) 1800 555 604 or logging into www.royalcaribbean.co.uk before* their sailing. For guests booked through travel advisors, their advisor may add pre-paid gratuities to the guests’ booking prior to sailing*. If gratuities are not prepaid prior to sailing, they will be automatically added to the guests’ folios once onboard. *Pre-paid gratuities can be added to an individual reservation at any time outside of 48 hours of the sail date.
