The ship has 2 dining rooms. One is any time dining meaning at meal time you just enter whenever you like and they seat you. Or you can call ahead and make an appointment which might be necessary in the evening if you don’t want to wait. The other dining room serves 2 identical evening meals, one at 5:45 and the other at 8:00. If you are lucky enough to get this dining room you will be assigned a table and sit with the same people each evening. This also is what we preferred and again were on a wait list for early dining. We had to plead our case before the Maître De and did get a seating for early dinner after a long wait. I am sure many people were disappointed as the line was long waiting to talk to him. The food there is a little more exquisite and the Wait Staff much more professional. Each evening is a 5 course dinner with about 3 to 5 choices in each course. First is an appetizer which could be a puff pastry, a fish or seafood dish, fruit plate and some things that we did not even know what they were. Many of the food items had foreign names but a description we could kind of understand. The second course was a soup with choices like a cold fruit soup, a pureed bean or vegetable soup, or a broth with meat and or veggies. Next was a salad and usually it was a lettuce salad with different kinds of veggies and dressings. The main course choices included some kind of pasta, at least one fish and or sea food, a pork, lamb or veal dish and a beef dish. All included vegetables. AND then this all was followed with decadent desserts all quite unusual and very tasty. Of course if there was nothing on the menu that we liked there were some items that were always available like New York Strip Steak, grilled chicken and other delicious entrees, shrimp cocktail for an appetizer and ice cream or a very rich dark chocolate desert. Our Head Waitress did an excellent job of keeping our orders straight and making sure we were happy and satisfied. Now if that is not enough they also have a buffet that is open 24/7 and 2 other restaurants that have a cover charge to eat there. For your pleasure during the day there are little places near the pool to buy pizza, burgers / hot dogs and frys , and ice cream.
