Queen Anne Sets Sail for Southampton Ahead of Maiden Voyage

• April 24, 2024

Cunard’s newest ship, the Queen Anne, set sail for her homeport of Southampton ahead of its maiden voyage departing May 3. 

The ship was delivered during a traditional handover ceremony at the Fincantieri Marghera shipyard in Venice on Friday, April 19 and is expected to arrive in Southampton on April 30. 

Speaking at the handover ceremony, Katie McAlister, president of Cunard, said: “We are immensely proud of Queen Anne. Not only does she reflect the Cunard distinctive style on the outside, the inside perfectly echoes the brand heritage with reimagined, elegant spaces and designs. We can’t wait to welcome guests on board for her maiden voyage on May 3 .”

Queen Anne’s inaugural seven-night voyage sails roundtrip from Southampton, visiting La Coruna, Lisbon.

Southampton ships day visit

By ukmdav1 , September 26, 2018 in Royal Caribbean International

Recommended Posts

does anyone know if you can still pay for day visits when the ships are in Southampton?

Am in Southampton for the weekend and would love to take my friend who has never cruised on Indy or explorer next year when they are in port at the same time.

Hunted on here and web and can’t find anything, hoping they still do this!

Royal don't do ships visits at Southampton.

MSC, P&O and Cunard. The MSC have all sold out for this year. P&O no longer which ships are available to visit, you have to contact them and tell which ship you are interested in. Haven't seen much on their web site.

However try this site https://www.completecruisesolution.com/email_bulletins/Ship_visits_landing.html

On Rci it used to be that you pay 💰 for the ship visit and if you booked  on board you got that money back. Not sure how it works now 

On X the Visit is free...you can take advantage of the regular book on board benefits..free transfer..up to $500 obc

P&O  is now £30 per person for a visit. MSC was £20.  Cunard is £50. All include lunch.

P&O offer the money back if you book a cruise.

 This year there were 20 dates for Cunard ships. Between 30th June to 8th December.

Princess visits are generally for Agents not public.

Most visits are for 40 odd guests.

so even though it would be my first celebrity cruise I would be booking it might be worth waiting the few weeks to book as get more benefits? (I know prices can change)

Traffic warning for Southampton drivers as city welcomes nine cruise ships plus as Saints home game

• Southampton Football Club
• Southampton
• Cruise ships
• Saturday 27 April 2024 at 11:20am

People travelling around Southampton this weekend are being warned to prepare for traffic delays as the Saints football game coincides with a number of cruise ships arriving.

The centre of Southampton is expected to be busy with a number of events happening in the city, including increased passenger numbers on Red Funnel Crossings.

Red Funnel are expecting particularly busy services on Saturday, making the waterfront area busier than usual.

On Saturday, Southampton Football Club are also playing at home at 3pm so routes around St Mary’s stadium will be busier than usual before and after the game.

The city council say the temporary anti-clockwise, one-way system on the Ring Road remains in place - from Charlotte Place to the Civic Centre.

Across Friday and Saturday four cruise ships were due to visit the port - Iona, Sky Princess and Arcadia.

On Sunday, four cruise ships will be docking in Southampton - Queen Mary 2, Arvia, Queen Victoria and MSC Poesia.

Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar℠

INDULGE IN ITALIA

Sunday supper is served every day at the new Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar. The menu highlights Old World classics, including veal meatballs in sauce like they make in Sardinia and Pappardelle served with rich radicchio cream. Save room for one of the hand-tossed pizzas, delivered straight from the oven. And ask a sommelier on staff to suggest the perfect pairing from a wine list that ranges from Sangiovese to Super Tuscan.

HOW TO RESERVE

Cruise Planner or Onboard

Images might not be accurate depictions of the venue. Venue appearance and location varies by ship.

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

Heaped with mortadella, porchetta, fresh mozzarella and more, Giovanni’s assorted meat and cheese platter is the perfect way to start a meal among friends and family. If you love the taste of truffle, try the caprese salad – a beautiful globe of truffle burrata served over rocket, heirloom tomatoes, pesto, balsamic glaze and fresh basil oil. The classic lasagna is also a must-try, oven-baked and layered with tasty Bolognese sauce, cottage cheese and mozzarella. And if you’re craving a pizza, the 12-inch pizzas here do not disappoint. Stick with a traditional margherita or primavera, or mix things up with the Truffle & Eggs, topped with bacon, eggs, pecorino and white truffle oil.

The wine list features sparkling, red, white and rosé wines from all over the world, including labels from France, Germany, Austria, New Zealand, the US and of course, Italy.

TURN UP THE FLAVOUR TABLESIDE

At Teppanyaki, expert chefs elevate cooking to a performance art form – and you’ve got front row seats to the show. Enjoy authentic Far East flavours prepared right at your table and served up with a sizzle, from succulent seafood to top-grade steaks, seared to perfection.

Smart Casual

HOW TO PURCHASE

Cruise Planner and Royal App

Every meal at Teppanyaki begins with crave-worthy complimentary starters like crisp greens with tangy ginger dressing, piping hot miso soup, flavourful vegetable fried rice and tart Japanese pickles. You can also order some appetisers to share, like jumbo crispy soft-shell crab or fresh assorted sashimi to prep your palate for the main event – teppanyaki main courses cooked right at your table. You can choose from combinations that include chicken breast paired with tiger shrimp or NY strip steak, sea scallops or abalone paired with lobster or a splurge-worthy cut of top-quality Wagyu A4 beef. For dessert, you’ll have your pick of sweet treats ranging from freshly cut fruit to crispy, chewy sesame balls and a refreshing chilled mochi sampler.

Want to pair your meal with the perfect sip? Ask to see a cocktail or sake menu.

El Loco Fresh®

INSANELY DELICIOUS MEXICAN

Give your taste buds something to go wild over. El Loco Fresh® serves up Mexican fare that’s insanely delicious. With classic mole sauce and tangy salsa verde topping beef burritos, carnitas and more – it’s a fiesta of flavour from south of the border. The craziest thing about it is just how good it is.

If you’re stopping by El Loco Fresh® for breakfast, try a filling breakfast burrito or breakfast quesadilla. If you’re craving something a bit more traditional, you’ll also find scrambled eggs, hash browns, sausage and bacon in the breakfast section of the menu. From noon to 6 p.m., this fast-casual favourite focuses on delicious Mexican staples – like shareable nachos loaded with creamy cheese, savoury tacos and burritos stuffed with your choice of beef, chicken or pork, and south-of-the-border sweets like chocolate dulce de leche, decadent Mexican flan and a fluffy tres leches cake.

You can grab a table outdoors at El Loco Fresh® or take your food to go.

Chef’s Table

AS VIP AND INTIMATE AS CAN BE

Welcome to Chef’s Table, the most exclusive and elevated dining experience on our fleet. Join an intimate group of fellow foodies on a private epicurean journey led by the ship’s Chef de Cuisine. You’ll sit down to a white tablecloth dinner spotlighting five exquisite courses that range from scallop carpaccio with yuzu vinaigrette, to grilled filet mignon served with truffle potato puree — each expertly paired with the perfect wine to highlight every flavour on the menu.

Available on select sailings.

Start your meal with the Scallop carpaccio, served with yuzu vinaigrette and crispy quinoa. Then transition to the Smoked tomato soup, sprinkled with garlic focaccia croutons and parmesan. Seafood lovers rave about the Maine lobster salad, flavoured with pineapple, cilantro, and vanilla dressing, and the Roasted branzino paired with grilled vegetables and lemon confit. Blending peanut butter ganache, Valrhona chocolate mousse, and salted caramel gelato, our signature dessert, The world, is the ultimate sweet ending.

Each dish is paired with a somm-selected glass of premium red or white wine.

TASTE YOUR WAY AROUND THE WORLD

The Windjammer is your go-to restaurant for tantalising global flavours served as complimentary. Like just-pressed paninis packed with all your favourite meats and cheeses. Flaky pastries fresh from the oven and omelettes however you like them. And hearty mains that run the gamut from crispy buttermilk fried chicken to Vietnamese braised Ho Chi Minh pork.

Whatever kind of dish you’re in the mood for, you’ll find something tasty worth trying at the Windjammer. Pop in during the morning for scrambled egg Bhurji served with roti, or home-style crispy chicken and waffles. Refuel in between adventures with a refreshing watermelon and feta salad or classic fish and chips. Or sample your way from Italy to India with dishes like traditional chicken marsala, savoury pork vindaloo, tangy duck a l’Orange and flavourful Caribbean goat curry.

There are plenty of gluten-free and vegetarian options offered.

RESTRICTIONS

Fully-covered shoes and shirts required.

Food options may differ by sailing.

THE HOTTEST SUSHI SPOT AT SEA

From delicious sushi rolls to fresh sashimi and nigiri, Izumi serves up an exotic Asian-inspired dining experience. Savour izakaya-style appetisers and rolls that range from classic to imaginative. No matter what you order, you’re in for a far out, Far East feast filled with incredible flavours from Tohoku to Tokyo.

From the appetiser list, don’t miss the shrimp and vegetable tempura, served golden-fried to perfection and paired with savoury tentsuyu bonito stock for dipping. From the carpaccio section, the octopus yuzu chimichurri is also a fan-favourite. It comes drizzled with the house ponzu olive oil, course kosher salt, yuzu citrus chimichurri, and masago smelt eggs. If you’re dining with an appetite, try the yaki udon. It spotlights thick, stir-fried udon noodles topped with tender grilled chicken, beef, shrimp or tofu. And get your sushi fix with one of the chef’s signature rolls — foodies love the baked snow crab and salmon dynamite roll, which fuses cool cream cheese and cucumber with spicy mayo, garlic-chili oil, citrus, and a decadent champagne sauce. For dessert, choose between an assortment of creamy, chewy mochi and crispy sesame balls served with red bean and strawberry sauce.

Dining with little ones? Ask for a kids’ menu. It’s got plenty of smaller-sized versions of Izumi’s sushi, tonkotsu ramen, and even teriyaki.

DISHES BEYOND YOUR WILDEST IMAGINATION

Wonderland Imaginative Cuisine is all about pushing the culinary envelope. Dishes are designed to tantalise your taste buds and present a visual feast. Find crispy crab cones topped with fluffy avocado mousse, gazpacho served with pepper spheres and bread foam, and dreamy desserts that will take your breath away. Pair your meal with cocktails described as “magical” elixirs crafted to deliver full-sensory experiences.

Cruise Planners and Royal App

FOR CHINA SAILINGS ONLY:

Wonderland is Wonderland by Dadong

Once you “brush” the menu at Wonderland, you’ll get to choose dishes based on five natural elements — Earth, Sea, Fire, Ice and Sun. If you love spice and smoky flavours, opt for something from the Fire section, like the Buffalo chicken eggs or the crispy Shrimp kataifi with scotch bonnet pepper. If you’re in the mood for something chilled and refreshing, try the red and white Tuna sashimi or the Oceanic citrus with yuzu granite from the Ice section. You’ll find the heartiest options in the Sea and Earth sections, like Liquid lobster served with bone marrow and caviar, branzino prepared with tamarind spice emulsion, and Berkshire pork belly paired with apples and cracklin.

Brush the menu at the entrance of restaurant with a paintbrush dipped in water and watch as each dish appears on the page.

Chops Grille℠

CLASSIC AMERICAN STEAKHOUSE

For more than a decade, the chefs at Chops Grille have specialised in serving up quality, hand-cut meat. Dinner at this hallmark Royal Caribbean specialty restaurant goes far beyond the typical steakhouse experience, though, with reimagined classics like succulent Maine lobster, gruyere cheese tater tots, white truffle-scented mushroom soup, and of course, expertly prepared prime beef.

INSIDER TIP

Open for lunch on sea days only.

The best way to begin a meal at Chops Grille is with the charred beef carpaccio, sliced thin and served rare with fresh arugula, Parmesan cheese, and truffle mustard dressing. If you’re a seafood lover, upgrade your menu with one of the restaurant’s chilled seafood towers — each comes with jumbo shrimp, green-lipped mussels, clams, Jonah crab claws, and Maine lobster. As far as entrees go, the tender filet is one of the most popular items on the menu. If nine ounces is a bit too much for you, opt for the smaller 6-ounce 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 tater tots 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.

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.

Room Service

DELICIOUS DELIVERED TO YOUR DOOR

Want to savour a meal in the comfort of your stateroom? Order delicious in-room dining any time — day or night. Tuck into breakfast in bed with a fresh omelet 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.

Room service menu may differ by sailing.

The continental breakfast items on the room service menu are complimentary, but you can also upgrade with fried eggs or an omelet 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 grilled cheese sandwich, hot dogs your way, or the much-loved Royal Burger — it’s eight ounces 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..

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

Café Promenade

CAFÉ ALL DAY

When it comes to quick and easy come-and-go eats, there’s no better place than Café Promenade. This casual, complimentary hotspot bustles 24 hours a day, so you can drop by any time — whether it’s for a steaming cup of coffee and a warm glazed cinnamon bun in the morning, or late-night bites like fried artichoke, spicy marinated cheese, and savoury meatballs from behind the counter after working up an appetite on the dance floor.

If you’re looking for a satisfying way to start your day, pair a cup of rich Royal Roast with a flaky croissandwich — stuffed with deli meats and crisp lettuce — or your favourite breakfast pastry. At lunchtime, it’s all about the flavourful chicken roti wrap and the New Orleans-style muffuletta, piled high with cold cuts and cheese. If you love a good antipasti platter, try the prosciutto with melon combo, or the pesto-grilled tomato. And if you have a sweet tooth, the decadent Mudcakes, creamy Willy Wonka pies, and fluffy round Led Zeppoles will make you come back for seconds.

Some sandwiches, antipasti and desserts rotate daily, so stop by often to see what’s new.

A LATTE TO LOVE

Enjoy all your Starbucks® favourites — from Macchiatos to Frappuccinos®, plus an extensive menu of drinks and pastries whenever the mood strikes you. Whatever you’re craving, you won’t have to go a single day without your morning iced coffee or your mid-afternoon flat white.

At Starbucks® you’ll find classic teas and coffees, plus creative caffeinated specialty beverages like the iconic Frappuccino®. The menu also offers grab-and-go pastries and savoury snacks.

The Starbucks® onboard offer seasonal and holiday beverages just like your favourite Starbucks® locations on land.

Layout and location vary by ship.

Sorrento’s Pizza

PIZZA WITH MORE PIZZAZZ

There’s nothing more satisfying than a great slice of pizza — and Royal Caribbean has spent years perfecting the recipe at Sorrento’s. Whether you’re into classics, like cheese and Margherita, or specialty pies, like the meat-loaded Carnivore or the pineapple, bacon and BBQ-infused Caribbean Dream, Sorrento’s serves up perfection in every slice.

There’s no wrong way to do pizza at Sorrento’s — all the pies here are equally delicious. If you’re a traditionalist, go for a slice of classic cheese or Margherita, topped with sweet basil leaves. Want to spice things up? The pepperoni pie brings just the right amount of heat. If you’re craving something a little heartier, try the aptly-named Carnivore, which comes loaded with meat, or a slice of the sweet and smoky BBQ chicken pizza. For something totally out of the ordinary, don’t miss the Caribbean Dream. Sprinkled with bacon, pineapple and BBQ, every bite channels major island vibes.

Sorrento’s is open late, which makes it one of the best spots for an after-hours bite.

Coastal Kitchen

CRAVINGS FROM THE COAST

Exclusively for suite guests and Pinnacle Club members, Coastal Kitchen fuses Mediterranean influences with farm-fresh flavours from California. Filled with Pacific Coast favourites and Med-inspired entrees, the menu here rotates to spotlight delicious, seasonal ingredients. And you can pair every bite with a glass or bottle of wine off a list that includes vintages from the sun-kissed valleys of Napa to the golden-green hills of Tuscany.

For Pinnacle Guests only, based on availability. Junior Suites for dinner only, based on availability.

Reservation Recommended

Start your day with one of the delicious offerings from Coastal Kitchen’s breakfast menu — like a filling frittata with feta cheese and spinach, decadent French toast with syrup and caramelised bananas, or a light Mediterranean plate of pan tomàquet, hummus, prosciutto and Manchego cheese. During lunch, try the signature Margherita flatbread, heaped with Buffalo mozzarella, vine-ripe tomato and fresh basil, or a tender herb-crusted chicken breast paired with roasted squash, Provencal tomatoes and tangy lemon essence. And at dinnertime, start with an order of Escargots a la bourguignonne in simmering butter with garlic and parsley. Then try the Roasted veal tenderloin, served in a vin jaune sauce with green pea puree, sweet caramelise onions, and fava beans. End your meal on a sweet note with fresh hand-cut seasonal fruit or an airy rosewater Panna cotta with kiwi coulis and almond tuile.

The menu at Coastal Kitchen rotates frequently; if you don’t see your favourite dish, ask your server if the team can prepare it for you.

Main Dining Room

GOURMET COURSES

In the Main Dining Room, you can experience flavours that take you from Jamaica to Jaipur, a rotating menu of delicious dishes always offering something unexpected. A multi-level restaurant that in the morning is the perfect spot to enjoy a hearty brunch paired with refreshing mimosas, at dinnertime transforms into a world class dining experience with a menu that invites you to taste your way around the world course by course.

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.

Food offerings may differ by ship and sailing.

The food in the Main Dining Room is complimentary, and you can order as many courses as you like.

The Café@Two70

GOURMET MARKETPLACE

The Café@Two70 is a gourmet marketplace where every meal comes with a side of captivating views. Choose from a variety of savoury hot-pressed sandwiches, crisp custom-made salads, homemade soups and more — all packed up picnic-style, so you can enjoy them while looking out floor-to-ceiling windows in Two70® or anywhere else onboard.

If you’re looking to fuel up for a day filled with adventure, stop by the Café@Two70 in the morning and order a breakfast burrito. The original comes with scrambled eggs, chilli con carne and mozzarella cheese, but you can ask for a vegetarian version if you prefer. If you’re craving something crisp and refreshing, the Thai chicken noodle salad is a winner. It’s got tender grilled chicken served over mixed greens with peppers, mandarin oranges, toasted almonds and glass noodles, all tossed in a tangy sesame-peanut dressing. Grilled cheese lovers can choose from three different riffs on the classic, including a three-cheese melt that layers gruyere, aged white cheddar and blue cheese on rye, a harvest version with smoked ham, juicy green apples and brie on raisin-multigrain, and a B&B that’s loaded with crispy bacon, creamy blue cheese, and crunchy green onions on sourdough.

The Café@Two70 also offers some tasty sweet treats — see what’s available at the counter.

Solarium Bistro Restaurant

FLAVOUR THAT’S ALWAYS FRESH

Emphasising fresh ingredients and Mediterranean flavours for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Solarium Bistro offers a bright and breezy gastronomic getaway at sea. Serve yourself from stations piled high with Med-inspired dishes and savour every bite inside or al fresco beneath the sun – or the stars.

Solarium Bistro becomes Hot Pot on China sailings.

At Solarium Bistro, every dish highlights freshness and flavour. Pop by in the morning for breakfast staples like creamy yoghurt and seasonal fruit, eggs and grilled sausage, and continental classics like bagels and pastries. At lunch, Solarium Bistro will transport you to some of the top culinary capitals along the Mediterranean coast and beyond. Tuck into fresh mussels and crisp Greek salad. Nibble on pita bread spread thick with homemade tzatziki and babaghanoush. Savour tender lamb chops with a cool mint jus or succulent lobster with tangy citrus butter. And treat yourself to sweet surprises, like fluffy loukoumades soaked in honey and creamy panna cotta à la Romana.

In addition to the items on the menu and at the buffet, you’ll sometimes find surprise dishes that rotate from time to time. Keep an eye out for those.

AGE RESTRICTION

21+ on sailings from North America, 18+ on sailings from South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

If you love a great old fashioned, you’ll find five versions of it on the menu at Schooner Bar, including a tropical twist that blends muddled cherries and pineapple with orange bitters and Malibu Coconut rum, and an innovative New Fashioned that brings in pink grapefruit, fresh raspberries, and a little bit of Southern Comfort. You can also dial up your night with a glamorous champagne cocktail, topped with Domaine Chandon and sweetened with an Angostura-doused sugar cube. Or sip your way across the Caribbean with a Zacapa rum-spiked daiquiri, shaken hard and double-strained, or a classic Papa Doble, prepared with Bacardi Superior rum, lychee and grapefruit juice. If you’re a fan of the Tom Collins, you’ll find that, too — plus four additional versions that each spotlight a different spirit.

You can’t go wrong with a classic mojito at Boleros, but everything on the cocktail menu here is worth trying. If you like your drinks on the fruitier side, try the kiwi caipirinha or the Fruitful Hurricane, made with white and dark rums, orange juice, lime juice, sugar syrup and grenadine. Want something a little more intense? You’ll love the Smokey Sunrise, which blends Del Maguey Vida mezcal agave nectar, orange juice and grenadine. If you’re a traditionalist, go for the Dark Cuba Libre, a simple yet delicious trio of Bacardi 8 rum, lime juice and Coke. Or mix things up with a bubbly Sombrero Cooler, made with silver tequila, orange juice, agave nectar and sparkling wine.

If you don’t want to miss a single beat, check your Cruise Compass for the band’s performance schedule at Boleros.

Enjoy your favorite vodka, rum, tequila, gin or whiskey any way you like, or savor a glass of Campari and soda, some sweet or dry vermouth on ice, or a refreshing frozen drink.

Solarium Bar

SUN, SERENITY & SIPS

Relaxation can be thirsty work. While you’re soaking up the vibe at the adults-only Solarium, grab a refreshment from the Solarium Bar, where friendly bartenders serve wine, beer, cocktails and chilled tropical drinks perfect for sipping beneath your poolside umbrella.

Images might not be accurate depictions of venue as each venue’s appearance varies per ship

The British Pimm’s Cup, the Aperol Spritz, and the Coca-Cola and Kahlua-infused Hennesy Black Bull are staples at Solarium Bar. But if you prefer to unwind with something a little different, opt for one of the premium mixed drinks on the menu. The Kentucky Burgundy is a favourite among bourbon lovers. Made with Maker’s Mark, crème de cassis, fresh lime and strawberry mix, it strikes the perfect balance between spirit-forward, sweet and citrusy. Or keep things simple with an iconic Rob Roy, which spotlights Dewar’s White shaken with sweet vermouth. And if you like your drinks sweet and sour, go for the Washington Apple, a tart blend of Crown Royal, sour apple liqueur, and cranberry juice.

Don’t see your drink of choice on the menu? This is a full bar and the bartenders know their stuff — feel free to make a special drink request.

English Pub

PINTS AND POURS FOR EVERY SHORE

If you’re looking to grab a pint, this fleet-wide favourite is the spot. Pop-up musical performances keep the vibe here is as lively as London, and the pub’s impressive drink menu offers a sweeping selection of beers that range from ales to lagers, with UK-themed cocktails and an inspired collection of spirits.

The English Pub is best known for its wide and diverse selection of beers, but you can also order up a mean cocktail here. If you want something smooth yet strong, go for the James Bond Martini. It’s a powerhouse triad of Belvedere vodka, Beefeater gin, and Lillet Blanc. If you love bourbon, try the Buffalo Manhattan, which swaps out whiskey for Buffalo Trace with sweet vermouth and a splash of Angostura bitters. And if you’re having trouble deciding between spirits, order the Boston Iced Tea Party, made with Tanqueray gin, Bacardi Superior rum, Absolut vodka, triple sec, and sweet and sour mix. Want to try something really different? Ask for a beertini or cockt-ale —mixed drinks infused with brews to create one-of-a-kind libations you can savour slowly..

If you’re new to the beer world, check the menu. Some include guides to help you navigate all the different beer styles and flavours.

Playmakers℠ Sports Bar & Arcade

SCORE BIG ON FLAVOUR & FUN

With a menu of match-day favourites and icy-cold draughts on tap, anything you order at Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade is a winner. And while you’re working on a signature Playmakers Burger or the five-scoop Touchdown Sundae, you can catch your team live on dozens of screens or face off against your friends in the arcade.

Appetisers at Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade are larger than life. Try the group-friendly Pile On Nachos, loaded with gooey cheese, sliced jalapeños, creamy guacamole, salsa and sour cream – you can add pulled pork or chilli, too. The Pigskin Sliders are also delicious. Stuffed with tangy BBQ pulled pork, they go great with an order of the garlicky Parmesan-sprinkled Playmakers Fries. If you’re a wing lover, you can pair your order with three different sauces – Buffalo, BBQ or Jamaican Jerk – each with varying levels of spice. And if you’re craving a great burger, Playmakers has two to choose from: the classic and a version with truffle cheese sauce. There’s also an Impossible Burger that’s out of this world, if you’re looking for a plant-based option that packs in plenty of flavour. Dessert here lives up to the hype, too, so definitely save some room. Go for the five-scoop Touchdown Sundae or the Campfire Cookie, baked with melted marshmallow and Nutella and paired with milk shooters on the side.

Feeling ambitious? Take on the Playmakers Challenge: if you can eat 100 of the hottest wings in 45 minutes, you’ll receive a commemorative T-shirt.

The Lime and Coconut®

ISLAND VIBES ON EVERY LEVEL

The search for your favourite island bar is over. The Lime and Coconut® turns the vacay vibes way, way up with DJs, live music and two bars serving all your favourite poolside cocktails — including the signature Lime & Coconut. And when the sun goes down, this pool bar just might be the hottest spot onboard.

To consume alcohol, you must be 21+ on sailings from North America, and 18+ on sailings from South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

If you’re a vodka drinker, order a simple, refreshing Blue wave. It’s made with just three ingredients — Tito’s vodka, blue curaçao and pineapple juice — but it packs a punch. Like tequila? You can’t go wrong with a Watermelon “Rita”, made with Patron Silver tequila, triple sec, watermelon syrup and margarita mix, or Desert pear “Rita”, made with Jose Cuervo Especial Gold tequila, triple sec and Monin desert pear syrup. Rum lovers will have the most options to choose from, including classic Mai tais, Rum runners, Blue Hawaiians, and the fan-favourite Lime & Coconut.

Feeling adventurous? Ask one of the bartenders on staff to surprise you with their favourite tropical tipple.

Gratuities: The automatic service gratuity is $14.50 USD per person, per day for guests in Junior Suites and below, or $17.50 USD per person, per day for guests in Grand Suites and above, applied to each guest’s SeaPass account on a daily basis. The gratuity applies to individual guests of all ages and stateroom categories. As a way to reward our crew members for their outstanding service, gratuities are shared among dining, bar & culinary services staff, stateroom attendants and other hotel services teams who work behind the scenes to enhance the cruise experience. In the unlikely event that a guest onboard being charged the daily automatic gratuity does not receive satisfactory service, the guest may request to modify the daily amount at their discretion by visiting Guest Services onboard and will be able to do so until the morning of their departure. Guests who have pre-paid their gratuity will not see a daily charge during their cruise. The automatic daily gratuity is based on customary industry standards. Applying this charge automatically helps streamline the recognition process for the crew members that work to enhance your cruise. We hope you find the gratuity to be an accurate reflection of your satisfaction and thank you for your generous recognition of our staff. A 18% gratuity is automatically added to all beverages, mini bar items, and spa & salon purchases. Guests can pre-pay gratuities by calling (UK) 0344 493 4005 / (Ireland) 1800 555 604 or logging into www.royalcaribbean.co.uk before* their sailing. For guests booked through travel advisors, their advisor may add pre-paid gratuities to the guests’ booking prior to sailing*. If gratuities are not prepaid prior to sailing, they will be automatically added to the guests’ folios once onboard. *Pre-paid gratuities can be added to an individual reservation at any time outside of 48 hours of the sail date.
