Restaurants Speciality & Gourmet Dining
Variety is the spice of life, especially when it comes to gourmet fare. That's why the cruise lines offers several Specialty Dining options for you to choose from on every ship. These distinctive restaurants provide intimate dining in an upscale atmosphere. Reservations are suggested at these popular venues. And because these restaurants at sea are truly a special treat, a cover charge between $10.00 - $20.00 will apply per person.

Restaurant Personal Choice Dining
Personal Choice Dining offers either traditional cruise dining with a set seating time (18:30 and 20:30) and the same waiter and tablemates each evening, or new restaurant-style seating, allowing passengers to dine when and with whom they choose, with each party seated at its own table, as at a restaurant ashore. Diners may be seated in the main dining rooms any time between 17:30 and Midnight. Many passengers are understandably grateful for this reprieve from having to hurry to dress for dinner in the traditional way after a long day ashore.

Sports
All ships offer a variety of sporting activities for you to enjoy. Test your golf skills in a golf simulator or nine-hole putting green, play tennis, ping pong, basketball, volleyball and shuffleboard or get active on the jogging track. Yoga/Pilates courses are also available.
