RCI new Ships

What’s the dish on dining these days aboard cruise ships? If it is on a Royal Caribbean brand cruise ship it might be described as “Dynamic.”

The cruise company recently upped its dining style to what it calls “Dynamic Dining” or the next level in Specialty Dining to debit aboard Quantum Class ships.

“Dynamic Dining” is a completely new culinary experience on Quantum of the Seas and Anthem of the Seas with 18 restaurant concepts as vast and varied as dining is in the world’s most cosmopolitan cities. Guests can choose from five complimentary, full service restaurants and be in full control of their own epicurean journey via a new reservations system that empowers them to decide when, where, with whom to dine and how to dress each evening.

Traditional cruise dining is revinvented as five complimentary, full-service restaurants, each with its own distinctive cuisine and immersive ambience including a nod, as the first-at-sea outposts, to Jamie Oliver with Jamie’s Italian.  Dining venues include:

American Icon Grill, a take on the classic American road trip, pulling together best-loved regional favorites into one comfort-style menu,

Chic, where the height of contemporary cuisine is realized and the freshest ingredients, such as proteins that pack a punch and sauces made from scratch, are evolved for a modern palate,

Silk, a vibrant and exotic destination where the spices of the Far East bring new flavor to adventurous palates through a Pan-Asian menu,

The Grande, a luxuriant nod to a bygone era of classic European ocean liners when dining was a time honored ritual, featuring timeless dishes, and where every night is formal night,

Coastal Kitchen, a concept created exclusively for suite guests, fusing Mediterranean influences with the unmatched riches of California’s bountiful farmlands.
