Wonderful food and great service - Ovation of the Seas


Jamie's Italian restaurant was one of our choices 
out of  '3 dinner package deal' we bought
 for specialty restaurants on board.




Plenty of flavour on garlic bread.
Tastes a lot better than it looks...^^


Fried mushrooms.
Crispy and freshly cooked!


Rich tomato soup was also full of flavour.


Seafood soup for main course. 
Yum!


Porcini risotto!


Meringue cake for dessert


Chocolate mud cake


 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Our second specialty restaurant was in Chops Grille.


Appetizer, scallops



French onion soup


Juicy eye fillet, cooked for perfection!




Delicious cheesecake!

Overall, excellent food and great service once again!
Strongly recommendable for steak lovers.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 Our last specialty restaurant experience was at 
'Wonderland'


Quite interesting decor!



Menu can be read once we brush through...
Fancy! ^^

We both absolutely loved them.

One of the very best gourmet experience on cruise ships ever!

 Main dinning room entrance.
There are four themed restaurants with different decors.
Chic, Grande, Silk and American Grill.
Menu is same, though.

We only had to wait for a table no more than 10 minutes, 
no matter how many people in our group,
with reservation or without.
That is pretty good considering the number of passengers on board.
4,300!

Rather simple food but delicious as well.



Salmon

 Gnocchi

Duck 

We enjoyed general culinary experiences on board very much
whether it is in a specialty restaurant with extra charge
or a main dinning room for free...

Needless to mention of their outstanding services
especially on specialty restaurants.

We shall be back to Royal Caribbean!
Good on you.
