Dining - (Top)
Dining on any of our cruise ships is as exciting as every other aspect of life onboard. There
are so many different dishes and enticing atmospheres to experience you won't know where to
start: pasta at Portofino, classic burgers from Johnny Rockets, gourmet five-course meals in
the main dining room. In addition, all of our cruise ships offer low-fat ShipShape Day Spa
menus, kids' menus, and, if you arrange in advance, kosher menus. Specialty restaurants are
available on all ships. See below for more information.

Our elegant main dining rooms are a great place to start the morning off right or finish off a
fabulous day with a five-course meal.

On The Lighter Side, our second dining room, is also great place to start your day or conclude
your evening with a lighter fair.
