If you’ve read any of my past guides to cruising, you know that I take food very seriously on all my vacations. A getaway without great meals is like a cannoli without any cream inside — it just doesn’t make sense. Of course, something Royal Caribbean always nails is cruise dining. It’s a big reason why their ships are always at the top of my list when I’m planning a vacation at sea — and Grandeur of the Seas is no exception.
This long-sailing cruise ship offers plenty of restaurants to please a diverse range of flavor preferences and cravings. Whether I’m in the mood for fantastic sushi, authentic Italian entrees, a hearty steak or a comforting bowl of soup, I know I’m only ever steps away from something delicious when I sail aboard this ship. When it comes to cruise fine dining, Grandeur also knocks it out of the park. Chops Grille, Izumi and Chef’s Table are wonderful, upscale options for celebratory dinners and dialed-up date nights. And of course, the main dining room serves up a fabulous multi-course feast in an opulent setting every night of your sailing.
Purchasing cruise drink packages takes every sailing a step further by letting you pair every bite with unlimited ice-cold brews, fine wines and vacation libations throughout your getaway. And buying a specialty dining package unlocks unrivaled discounts at the ship’s specialty restaurants, including Izumi, Chops Grille and Giovanni's℠ Table. Prefer to stick to complimentary cruise dining options? No problem — the complimentary restaurants onboard serve food that’s just as wow-worthy, at no additional cost. Here’s a quick rundown of all the cruise restaurants onboard one of my favorite Vision Class ships.
There’s nothing basic about wanting to stay in the comfort of your stateroom to enjoy a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner. And onboard Grandeur of the Seas, you can call up all your favorite eats whenever your cravings strike, thanks to 24/7 room service. The continental breakfast items on your room service menu are included in your cruise fare, though you can level up your meal with upgrades that include fried eggs, omelets and more. Have a beverage package? Order up some fizzy mimosas or a Bloody Mary. Lunch and dinner cover a wide range of options, from crispy chicken tenders, hot dogs and cheese toasties to the legendary Royal Burger — 225 grams of tender Wagyu beef topped with aged cheddar and crispy bacon.
These are all the incredible cruise restaurants onboard Grandeur of the Seas, though because the menu rotates in spots like Windjammer and the main dining room, you can always look forward to something new to try — even if you’ve tasted your way across all the other dining concepts onboard. Next, it’s time to check out all the fun activities, shows and cool things to do onboard this cruise ship. Or, if you’ve ready enough and are ready to book, find your perfect itinerary.
