As one of its fleet’s top-rated cruise ships, Ovation of the Seas offers everything Royal Caribbean is best known for — wow-worthy thrills, cutting-edge tech, spectacular entertainment, and of course, some of the best cruise food in the world. Whether you’re craving flavorful teppanyaki bites and fresh sushi rolled by a master chef at Izumi, an authentic taste of Tuscany at Jamie's Italian by Jamie Oliver, artisanal brats loaded with all your favorite toppings at Dog House or mouthwatering eats from every corner of the world at Windjammer and the Main Dining Room — you’re only ever steps away from a memorable meal when you choose to sail on this award-winning cruise ship.
With so many tempting cruise dining options onboard, it helps to set sail with a game plan (and a specialty dining package — more on that later). To help you narrow down your options, here are the top 9 best places to eat on a cruise when you sail on Ovation of the Seas.
No matter where in the world you’re traveling or what cruise ship you’re sailing on, no Royal Caribbean getaway is complete without at least one dinner (or several) in the Main Dining Room. A hallmark cruise dining option across the fleet, it presents lavish, multi-course meals in an elevated, upscale setting — paired with five-star, white tablecloth service. Aside from a few guest-favorites that are always on the menu, offerings here rotate daily — which means you can dine in every night and never repeat a dish. Some highlights include savory duck terrine layered with apricot chutney on toasted sourdough bread, spiced eggplant and Kalamata olive tartare served with creamy red pepper hummus and crispy garlic bread, Moroccan spiced ahi tuna paired with cool mint couscous, and so much more. Dessert is just as wow-worthy, spanning decadent delights like sweet cream-soaked tres leches, fluffy Grand Marnier soufflé and moist, home-style carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, just to name a few.
Keep in mind that these are just some of the many delicious cruise dining options that you’ll find onboard Ovation of the Seas. You can check out the full selection of cruise restaurants onboard. You’ll find that there’s something for every craving and palate — even the pickiest eaters.
The best way to take advantage of all the concepts that this groundbreaking cruise ship has to offer is to opt for a specialty dining package.
