• Surfside Eatery : Here, you can prep for port adventures by filling up on healthy eats and tricked-out treats. Even your teen won’t grumble about early mornings with a pancake buffet waiting, complete with chocolate chips and fruit toppings. Post-excursion poolside churros and all-day comfort food stand ready for your return.

Maybe the baby needs a late-night stroll to settle or you lost rock-paper-scissors for the snack run while the kids snooze. Either way, coffee, snacks, pastries and sandwiches are ready around the clock.

And remember, if leaving the cabin seems too challenging after a long day of fun, Room Service is available 24/7 and included with a small delivery fee and gratuity charge.

Not every special meal needs an over-the-top theme. These familiar faves are less flashy, but just as fabulous.

• Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar : Italian comfort food with homemade pasta and a wide-ranging wine list is served family style. Celebrate a special night or having the fam together, happy and relaxing over a great meal.
• Hooked Seafood : If sailing the ocean blue inspires your appetite, satisfy your craving for crudo with an expansive raw bar and fresh, coastal New England plates.
• Playmakers : If your group runs more toward wings, beer and ‘ball than sophisticated glamour, watch the game or play one in this venue’s pub-vibe arcade.

Although evening opportunities abound, specialty doesn’t always mean fancy, dress-up dinner.

• Pier 7 : Keep kids busy by dropping the little ones at Adventure Ocean and sending the teens to hang ten on the FlowRider, then treat yourself to a casual, comfortable brunch at this spot. Lazy sea-day mornings gain purpose when you call late-for-breakfast “early for brunch!” The kids are not left out of the wow-moment action.
• Desserted Milkshake Bar : Here, you can shake down tweens and teens for info on their day with an Insta-worthy mid-afternoon frozen treat.
• Izumi in the Park : Enjoy Taiyaki vanilla ice cream in an airy bubble cone.

Many of these experiences are so popular that reservations sell out long before the ship leaves port. Fortunately, Pre-Cruise Planning Assistants can take bookings online or guests can secure a table via the Royal Caribbean App to avoid disappointment. If you prefer to keep your plans loose once on board, call or visit the restaurants in person and reserve your spot from available bookings.
