Both of the main dining rooms have their own personality and setting. They have the same menus and food comes from a central kitchen. The diverse, distinctive settings make dining more fun and interesting, and open seating enables passengers to meet. The three levels of Terraces are separated by greenery and connected by twin stairways. Some passengers say the arrangement suggests a supper club in vintage Hollywood movies. The Four Seasons Dining Room, extending side-to-side in the ship, is the largest dining room. Floor-to-ceiling bay windows extend over the water and offer spectacular views. Four terraced areas provide excellent sight lines. Sun Terraces, the smallest dining room, is casually appointed in light wood and wicker. It’s set on three narrow terraces with walls of glass on three sides that extend overhead. Shades protect diners when the sun is above. The view is across the aft swimming pool to the sea. Le Bistro, the alternative restaurant, is open to all passengers on afirst-come, first-served basis. The cozy, informal cafe offers a daily pasta dish prepared tableside and other light fare. Wine by the glass is available. The former Sports Bar was replaced with a buffet restaurant as part of the ship’s transformation to Freestyle dining. The Coffee Bar is designed as a
coffee house, with such memorabilia as antique coffee machines on display. Coffee and coffee-flavored drinks are served. Free ice cream and frozen yogurt are available poolside each afternoon. The casual Topsiders serves breakfast and lunch buffets and snacks. If you aren’t watching calories and are willing to stand in long lines, you can pig out at the one-night Chocoholic Buffet.
