From casual bites to elevated dinner and cocktail spots, you’ll find something onboard for every craving during your Royal Caribbean cruise.
Across its fleet of 26 ships, Royal Caribbean boasts hundreds of cafes, restaurants, bars, and dessert shops. The dining options are as diverse as the flavors you’ll find on each menu. From classy steakhouses to arcade game-filled sports bars, the many choices on Royal Caribbean are sure to please.

Keep It Casual
Looking for casual dining options while aboard a Royal Caribbean ship? You’ve got options. Try El Loco Fresh or Sorrento’s for something quick and delicious. Sorrento’s can be found fleetwide and there’s nothing more satisfying than a great slice of pizza. Choose from sandwiches, salads, and soups, from The Café@TWO70 where every meal comes with a side of captivating views. Or head to Park Café for the legendary Royal Kümmelweck roast beef sandwich — it’s a guest favorite (and a rite of passage for cruising foodies).
