Alluring All New Restaurants

By guest blogger Steve Newman

Royal Caribbean International’s Allure of the Seas (at her floatout, above), the world’s next largest and most innovative cruise ship debuting in December this year, will introduce new culinary concepts and twists to the signature Oasis-class restaurants.

A Brazilian steakhouse will be a destination restaurant that opens for dinner service in the Solarium, featuring authentic Brazilian-style meats and seafood dishes, served table-side and sliced straight off the skewer. In Central Park, recently appointed Chef de Cuisine Molly Brandt will present guests with distinct dining experience at Allure of the Seas’ 150 Central Park, a signature fine dining experience.

Combining the best of classic Mexican beach bars and Southern California’s famed taquerias, Rita’s Cantina will be a vibrant new restaurant in the Boardwalk neighbourhood. Adults and kids alike will enjoy some of their favourite Mexican fare. The more casual setting is likely to be a favourite lunch, snack or dinner spot. Rita’s Cantina will also boast some of the best and widest selection of margaritas at sea. In addition, the restaurant will introduce new nightlife to Boardwalk with live guitar music, drinks and dancing.

Rita’s Cantina will be located in place of Seafood Shack onboard sister-ship Oasis. Also new to Boardwalk will be The Boardwalk Dog House, an outdoor hot-dog counter located where The Donut Shop is on Oasis of the Seas. The Donut Shop will remain on Boardwalk in a new location next to the Ice Cream Parlour.

In addition to their year-round Caribbean programme, the line also offers unique cruise-tour land packages in Alaska, Canada, Dubai, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
