Princess Crusies FLAT PANEL TV’s

New Free Breakfast Items
During the last quarter of 2009, new food items were introduced as an addition to the scrumptious selection of breakfast treats to be found at the International Café and Horizon Court/Panorama Buffet locations.

Available on Caribbean, Crown, Emerald, Golden, Ruby and Star Princess from 7am to 11am, the International Cafés now serve our new Yogurt & Granola Parfait with Raspberry Swirl and Bircher Muesli. Both items are nutritious alternatives for our more health-conscious passengers.

The next new item on the breakfast menu is the Egg, Bacon and Cheese Muffin, available at both the International Cafés and Horizon Court/Panorama buffets. Now passengers who crave this popular breakfast sandwich while onboard won’t be missing home quite as much, and won’t even have to dig around for the dollar they’d pay for it on land.  The complimentary Egg, Bacon and Cheese Muffin is a savory morning indulgence that has proven to be quite a hit onboard Princess ships.

Senior Rates on NCL, Excellent Entertainment, Good Food Choices

NCL has been working hard the past few years to improve their service (they invented FreeStyle Cruising), build new ships and get the public to try their brand of easy going, unstructured cruising – and they’ve achieved that goal.  Staff and customers onboard are relaxed, the entertainment is top notch and the food (especially the buffets) are excellent.  You can choose from at least two main dining rooms for B/L/D and the buffet is almost always open – and in addition, they offer several alternative dining restaurants where a nominal fee of $10-$25 per person applies – like their steak house, Italian, Sushi, Lobster or Teppanyaki cuisine.  Cruise prices are always reasonable – in fact, some of the best values going.

An “Oasis” of dining options

Oasis of the Seas will have 24 dining options

By: Johanna Jainchill – June 25, 2009

Royal Caribbean on Wednesday said the Oasis of the Seas will offer a record 24 ways to dine.

And passengers can begin making dinner plans long before the Oasis sets sail. The reservations system opens at RoyalCaribbean.com on July 7; the 5,400-passenger ship’s maiden voyage departs Fort Lauderdale on Dec. 12.

Restaurants will include typical choices such as a casual Italian eatery as well as Royal Caribbean signatures like Vintages wine bar and Chops Grille.

It will also introduce new dining concepts like the indoor/outdoor Seafood Shack in the ship’s Boardwalk neighborhood. The Seafood Shack will serve seafood and over-sized desserts, with cover charges of $7.95 for lunch and $9.95 for dinner.

Also on the Boardwalk, the Donut Shop and Ice Cream Parlor will serve snacks all day.

Royal Caribbean International CEO Adam Goldstein said he is most excited about 150 Central Park, the Oasis’ “most exclusive dining venue.” The restaurant will provide an intimate ambience and offer a tasting menu with wine pairings, for a $35 cover charge for dinner.

In the Royal Promenade, the Mondo Café will offer coffee, sandwiches and pastries from countries such as Italy, Spain and Cuba. Mondo Café will be open late at night.

New in the Solarium will be a bistro by that name. Solarium will offer “health-conscious” fare for breakfast and lunch in a casual setting, said Royal Caribbean. At night, the restaurant will serve dinner and offer dancing under the stars, for a $20 cover charge.

Also for the health-conscious, the Vitality Café will feature healthy snacks, sandwiches, wraps and fruit for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The restaurant will be situated at the entrance to the Vitality at Sea Spa and Fitness Center.

Oasis’ main dining room, the three-level Opus, will have a 1920s theme and feature French art deco design.

An Asian restaurant, Izumi, will have a sushi bar and hot-rock cooking. Izumi will be open for lunch and dinner at a la carte pricing.
