Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Wonderland Imaginative Cuisine
This was our first visit to Wonderland and it was wild. We had no idea what to expect. It's not so much dinner as it is art. While I enjoyed the experience, it's not something I would repeat unless I had new cruisers with me.
Izumi Japanese Cuisine
We ate at the hibachi and the food was delicious. The location is a little strange, but we were seated inside the restaurant so we did not have to eat in the hallway!
Sorrento's Pizza
Who doesn't love Sorrento's? We certainly do! A great place to stop in for a slice of complimentary pizza!
Playmakers℠ Sports Bar & Arcade
We always love Playmakers! The burgers are delicious, as are the nachos. I make sure to get the onion rings, which are tempura breaded. I love to eat here whenever we get the chance.
The Cafe @ Two70
This was a great venue in the mornings, particularly before excursions. Not many people seemed to know about this spot, so we could stop in for breakfast and coffee with little to no wait!
Leaf and Bean Pub
The pub on Quantum class ships serves food, unlike the pubs on other Royal ships. We stopped in and tried a large selection of their foods after a day spent on a catamaran. It was all excellent! I recommend stopping in for a light bite and trying all the delicious options!
Giovanni's Italian Kitchen and Wine Bar
This was my first visit to Giovanni's and I was hooked! I love Italian food and this was no different. The stromboli and osso bucco stole the show!
El Loco Fresh
The food was hot and tasty. It's a nice quick-service option on a busy sea day!
Chop's Grille
This was my second visit to Chop's Grille and it was amazing! I tried the lamb medallions and was very impressed! Skip the mint jelly though.
Cafe Promenade
This was a great spot to stop by for a quick snack before bed. Had a nice assortment of sandwiches and desserts for all tastes.
Bionic Bar®by Makr Shakr
I always recommend everyone try a drink from the Bionic Bar. Make sure to try a "From Earth," it's the best drink in my opinion. The robots always have a heavy pour!
Onboard Activities
Royal Esplandade
A great venue for shopping, people-watching, dining, and exploring!
Entertainment
Two70
This is a beautiful venue! We loved to stop in on sea days and watch the water as we sailed. A great view of the wake can be seen from this venue! The entertainment was good too.
