The Botticelli Dining Room offers Traditional Dining (set dining times and assigned seating/tablemates). You can choose from either early first, first or second seatings. Seating times are at 5:30, 6:30 and 8:15 p.m. The Da Vinci Dining Room and  the Michelangelo Dining Room both offer anytime dining options (open seating between 5:30 and 10 p.m.).

The Piazza

It’s the "Best Pizza at Sea" says USA TODAY and we couldn’t agree more. Harkening back to Italian heritage, the Neapolitan-style pizza is hand-tossed and freshly baked right on deck. From traditional favorites like margherita and pepperoni to the daily specials, you’ll find it nearly impossible to pass by without grabbing a slice – or two.

Open 24-hours a day, the International Café located in the Piazza is the place for an ever-changing array of small bite meals, treats and gourmet beverages. Grab a freshly baked croissant to start your day, snack on pies and quiche or choose from a wide variety of salads and sandwiches at lunchtime, and indulge in decadent desserts in the evening. Coffee and tea fans will love the New Grounds Crafted Coffee menu featuring a variety of specialty espresso-based drinks made from a custom blend of coffee beans, as well as iced tea fusions.

Horizon Court

Horizon Court offers an endless selection that changes throughout the day to satisfy the most discriminating palate. Indulge in a delightful array of worldwide cuisine, freshly baked breads and regional comfort foods, in a casual setting at breakfast, lunch or dinner. Enjoy fresh fruits, signature pastas and desserts galore along with your favorite beverages and customizable features like create-your-own salads and sandwiches. *Beverage charges apply.

Trident Grill

Follow your nose to the Trident Grill where the burgers are flipping and the hotdogs roasting, served with a variety of fixin’s and crisp fries. Veggie burgers, bratwurst and grilled chicken breast are also served and all are sure to hit the spot when you are relaxing out on deck.

Cafe Caribe

Located very close to the Horizon Court, Cafe Caribe offers buffet with mostly Caribbean cuisine. Opens for breakfast, lunch and dinner and also late-night bistro service. 

International Cafe
