Specialty (additional cost)

Chops Grille

For more than a decade, the chefs of Chops Grille have proudly presented quality, hand cut steaks at this hallmark Royal Caribbean restaurant. Now, they give you a fresh twist on a favorite, with a revamped menu that brings contemporary flair to traditional steakhouse offerings. Most intriguing: our exceptional prime meat. This prime beef is joined by Maine lobster, veal parmesan, grilled branzino and other succulent dishes paired with addictive sides and irresistible desserts.

Giovanni's Table

Every meal at Giovanni's Table is a family-style celebration of rustic Italian flavor. You'll find all your favorite Old-World classics on the menu here, like house focaccia served with marinated artichokes, olives and pesto, fluffy gnocchi tossed in a thyme-scented sauce of lamb and root vegetables, traditional risotto finished with porcini and truffle mushroom tapenade, and veal osso buco paired with creamy cheese polenta, ripe tomatoes and sautéed green beans.

Izumi Japanese Cuisine

From sushi to sashimi and tableside preparation using Hot Rocks, Izumi offers guests an exotic Asian-inspired dining experience. At Izumi, items are charged a la carte. You'll enjoy a wide variety of hot and cold appetizers, entrees, desserts and more, all made-to-order with intense flavors, the best ingredients and impeccable presentation. Now that's fresh.

Johnny Rockets

Johnny Rockets serves up burgers, shakes, fries and fun in a cool retro atmosphere. Since 1986, this diner's focus is on all American fare including fresh, never frozen certified angus beef burgers, crispy fries, classic sandwiches and indulgent hand-spun shakes and malts. Join the fun onboard and relax into simply good times with good food to share.

Ice Cream Parlor

This cute little ice cream shop offers all of the same sweets you'd find at your local Ben & Jerry's. There are many options here. Enjoy a cone or cup. Choose from many flavors. Toppings? Yes, please. Plenty to choose from here. Other sweets are offered in addition to ice cream. You'll find cupcakes, muffins and more.

Activities

What are the US Passport requirements?
As of June 1, 2010, per the US State department, all United States citizens now NEED A PASSPORT to return to the United States following a cruise. To avoid problems, the cruise line will not allow you to embark without a valid passport! Don't try it because there are no refunds if you are not allowed to board the ship.
 
This is an April 2025 cruise, so you have plenty of time to apply for your United States passport, or update your non-US Passport. Non-US citizens are responsible to verify if you will need a Visa for your specific nationality.

What Gratuities are included in the gratuities and port charges
All dining and stateroom gratuities are included in your additional charges fees. This eliminates all of the envelope gratuities payments from past cruise experiences. Alcoholic beverages, soda, and coffee drinks are not included in the gratuities, therefore Royal Caribbean will automatically add 15% to each of your individual bar tabs.
 
Additional tips are always welcome for the crew members that go the extra mile for you, especially your bartenders and room stewards.
