    DELICIOUS DELIVERED TO YOUR DOOR

    Want to savour a meal in the comfort of your stateroom? Order delicious in-room dining at any time – day or night. Tuck into breakfast in bed with a fresh omelette or a steaming stack of pancakes. Or enjoy an intimate date night in after a long day of adventure onboard and ashore. Room service makes it easy to treat your taste buds without having to set foot outside your door.

    Note: Room service menu may differ by sailing.

    MENU HIGHLIGHTS
    The continental breakfast items on the room service menu are complimentary, but you can also upgrade with fried eggs or an omelette if you want something a little heartier. You can even make brunch boozy with mimosas or the Ultimate Bloody Mary. If you’re ordering lunch or dinner, choose from flavourful finger foods like crispy chicken tenders, a melt-in-your-mouth cheese toastie, hot dogs your way or the much-loved Royal Burger – it’s 225 g of prime Wagyu beef topped with crispy bacon and aged cheddar on a toasted bun. The creamy classic tomato soup, grilled quesadilla and fried chicken wings are also guest favourites.

    PRO TIP

    Cruising with kids? There’s a section on the menu just for them with simple but delicious sandwiches and tasty sides.

    MENU HIGHLIGHTS

    Many of the dishes on the Main Dining Room’s menu rotate each night, which means you could go an entire week without ever repeating a course. Every meal here begins with something delicious from the starters section of the menu — like savoury duck terrine layered with apricot chutney on toasted sourdough bread, a flaky Vidalia onion tart baked with whipped eggs, cream, and smoked bacon, or spiced eggplant and Kalamata olive tartare prepared with red pepper hummus and served on crispy garlic bread. Then, choose from international entrees like Moroccan spiced ahi tuna served over mint couscous, sautéed spinach and tequila peppers with a cool yogurt vinaigrette. Or mojo-marinated bone-in pork loin paired with sweet potatoes, broccoli and a cumin-citrus reduction. Dessert is also worth getting excited about, with options like sweet cream-soaked tres leches, home-style carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, and a light and fluffy Grand Marnier soufflé.

    NOTE

    Food offerings may differ by ship and sailing.

    PRO TIP

    Chops Grille℠

    Chops Grille℠

    CLASSIC AMERICAN STEAKHOUSE

    For over a decade, the chefs at Chops Grille have proudly presented quality, hand-cut steaks at this hallmark Royal Caribbean restaurant. Now, they give you a fresh twist on a favourite, with a revamped menu that brings contemporary flair to traditional steakhouse offerings. Most intriguing: our exceptional prime meat. This prime beef is joined by Maine lobster, grilled branzino and other succulent dishes paired with addictive side dishes and irresistible desserts.

    Attire: Smart Casual

    Insider Tip: Open for lunch on sea days only.

    MENU HIGHLIGHTS

    The best way to begin a meal at Chops Grille is with the charred beef carpaccio, sliced thin and served rare with fresh rocket, Parmesan cheese and truffle mustard dressing. As far as mains go, the tender filet is one of the most popular items on the menu. If 255 g is a bit too much for you, opt for the smaller 170 g petite filet – it packs in just as much flavour as the standard cut. If you’re a traditionalist, complement your meal with an order of steaming Yukon Gold mashed potatoes and creamed spinach, or change things up with Chops’ signature gruyere cheese potato croquettes and truffled French fries. And don’t forget to save room for a refreshing slice of tart key lime meringue pie or classic New York cheesecake, served with raspberries and lemon confit.

    PRO TIP

    The chefs at Chops Grille will hand cut, season and grill each steak to your specifications. When in doubt, don’t be afraid to ask for the chef’s recommendation.

    Attire: Casual

    MENU HIGHLIGHTS

    Whatever kind of dish you’re in the mood for, you’ll find something tasty worth trying at the Windjammer.
