While cruising The Caribbean with Norwegian Cruise Line, you’ll have plenty of time to go ashore for adventure. One of the best ways to get to know a place is to commune with the locals, and the quickest way to know the locals is to share their foods. In the Southern Caribbean that often means street foods, and there are as many different foods to choose from as there are islands. We’ve assembled a few of the delicacies here.
Most people probably have an introductory knowledge of Mexican food. From nachos, to burritos, to the perfect specimen known as a taco, "Mexican" food is almost as much of a part of American gastronomy as the hamburger.
One of my absolute favorite things to do on board a cruise — besides sipping a poolside cocktail — is indulging in the food! If you’re a first-time cruiser, let me tell you, you’re going to have options. On board, you can order cuisine spanning from French to Brazilian and venues from steakhouse-style to grab-and-go buffets. If you’re not sure where to start, here are our suggestions.
If you’re like many cruisers, you’re probably looking to unwind a bit while you’re on vacation and seriously, what says vacation more than a tropical drink with one of those little umbrellas? On your Caribbean cruise, you’ll have plenty of time to relax and soak up the rays, while sipping some delicious drink concoction you’ve never even heard of. Here are 7 Must-Try Drinks in The Caribbean!
Earth Day is every day here at Norwegian. Through our Sail & Sustain Environmental Program partnerships and initiatives, we are committed to preserving our environment for future generations — from eliminating plastic straw use on board our ships to utilizing the latest technology to reduce our carbon footprint.
Like many people with Celiac Disease my first questions any time I travel are “what I am going to eat?” and “where can I eat safely?” The minute I decide on a destination, I’m all over the internet looking for the best places to get a gluten-free bite to eat. Being on a strict gluten-free diet for medical reasons means when I’m looking into a vacation like a cruise, the first thing I need to know before I book is what my dining options are.
Join us in raising a glass (or two!) in celebration. Norwegian has announced the 2023 lineup for the much-anticipated return of the Meet The Winemaker Cruise Series, scheduled for its seventh year. Get ready to pair your new favorite vintages with gourmet food and spectacular destinations worldwide.
If you're ready to mix it up while onboard, Norwegian's bars and lounges have you covered. With up to 22 bars and lounges on every ship in the fleet, there are perfect options (and drinks!) for every type of traveler. From pool deck bars to specialty lounges, you'll find great places to unwind with the perfect vacation drink in hand. The best part? Each one has its own distinctive vibe. Whether you feel like a quick nightcap in a laid-back atmosphere or you're ready to dance the night away with an elegantly crafted cruise cocktail, you'll find something to suit your every mood.
Cruising is about so much more than sailing from one beautiful port to another. From vibrant nightly entertainment to fun-filled poolside activities, you'll find loads of exciting things to do on the ship itself. One of the most enjoyable ways to spend your time is to try the wide variety of food on board. Norwegian Cruise Line offers some of the best dining at sea.
A guaranteed crowd-pleaser every time, Norwegian’s Pineapple Coconut Mojito lifts spirits, induces smiles and transports you to paradise with each sip. If you're planning a cruise to the Bahamas or Caribbean, there's no better way to set the tone for those tropical vacation vibes. Learn how to prepare these glasses full of joy in your kitchen with a recipe provided by our Master Mixologist. Cheers!
With 16 bars and lounges on board the brand-new Norwegian Bliss, there’s no shortage of fun and libations to enjoy on your next cruise vacation. Whether you’re sailing to Alaska and taking in the stunning glacier views from the Observation Lounge bar or cruising to The Caribbean with a fresh mojito in hand, these hot spots have something for your every vacation mood.
"I'm hungry," said no one on a cruise ship — ever. Cruising on the state-of-the-art Norwegian Bliss is no exception to this rule. You'll find exquisite Specialty Dining venues along with popular main dining choices such as Savour and Taste. But you'll find some must-have foods on board Norwegian Bliss that everyone should simply try.
If you haven’t taken an Alaskan cruise, you’re missing out! Most Alaskan cruises will take you to three to four quaint Alaskan ports, as well as the Canadian cruise Port of Victoria. Each of these port-of-calls offers something unique such as whale watching, larger than life glaciers, and even fishing! After you trek through the wilderness and stop by real gold rush sites make sure you make the time to enjoy a pretty good local brew (or two) from some authentically delicious breweries. Here are a few of our favorite Alaskan Microbreweries you must visit on your Alaskan cruise.
One of the most exciting developments aboard Norwegian Escape is the creation of The Cellars, Norwegian's first ever wine bar. With the Mondavi family name behind it (and four generations of great winemaking in Napa Valley), this is the kind of spot where any wine lover can sip on their favorite selection or discover a new one, within its warm and intimate walls, or while perched on a stool with an ocean view. And for those who'd like to elevate their wine IQ, make your way to the Tasting Table* for an education in vino, designed for novices and experts alike. The Cellars are dedicated to enjoying wine in any capacity.
Beer lovers all around can rejoice in the news: Norwegian Escape has a cold pour waiting for you at The District Brew House. With more than 50 bottled beers and 24 draft beers on tap (including local beer from Miami's Wynwood Brewing Company), it's easy to catch up on the craft beer scene at sea. Whether you're a novice or an expert, knowing the beer you’re drinking and how it's made is part of the craft beer experience. So before you sip and sail on your next cruise vacation, discover everything you need to know about the basics of craft beer.
Whether you’re a first-time cruiser or an experienced traveler, here is some advice that’s always a helpful reminder: Try something – anything – new every day of your cruise. Granted, such a suggestion is easy to indulge because you’re likely to explore a different port city every day. However, I find that when it comes to food, we tend to stick to the first onboard dining experience we like, rather than explore our way through Norwegian’s diverse culinary selections.
From resort-style pools and idyllic beachside destinations to skydiving simulators and original productions across four stages, air, ice, water and theater, a vacation with Royal Caribbean checks all the boxes. Plus, the lineup of restaurants and bars on board—from hibachi and Italian to wine bars and those with Caribbean vibes—serves up flavors for everyone.
Imagine exploring the world, seeing UNESCO World Heritage Sites, trying out new adventures and only unpacking once. A Royal Caribbean cruise offers all that and more. By sailing from one incredible destination to the next, you’ll be able to easily take in the globe’s natural beauty, and it’ll feel like your home away from home, thanks in large part to the wonderful teams on board.
Wonderland’s chefs twist their culinary kaleidoscopes to invent an elaborate dreamscape of never-before-seen fare.
When you’ve set off to explore the world, there’s no tastier way to immerse yourself in the cultures you visit than cooking authentic cuisine with a local chef. (Bonus: You might just bring a new recipe or two home with you.) Check out these five Royal Caribbean culinary experiences, which all burst with local flavor.
Planning a romantic getaway on Anthem of the Seas? We’re here to help. Take it from the pros; these are the best date spots onboard Royal Caribbean’s newest ship. All you have to do is figure out how to squeeze them all into your vacation.
Legends of bar hopping earn their status and live on when they tell an interesting story about your companions or your bartender or the watering holes themselves. The Royal Promenade onboard Royal Caribbean International’s ships features many attractions, and at the top of the list is its collection of neighborhood bars, each with a distinctive lure and each waiting to join the list of legendary stories. If you were to start your night by bellying up to one of the bars on our Oasis Class ships (the largest cruise ships in the world!) and ask, “where ‘ya from?” you’ll find the answers are as varied as “MIT, Central Park or deck 8.” That’s a good start, but creating the rest of your memorable story is up to you.
Winter blues got you down already? Never fear. Royal Caribbean has big things happening in 2015.
No visit to Jamaica is complete without sampling at least some of the mouthwatering local flavors. And no, you don’t have to eat anything spicy—though if you’re up for it, you should! Make sure to grab a bite of a few of these Jamaican favorites:
When you think about the holidays, sugar cookies, mulled wine and gathering with your loved ones may come to mind. Whether you’re looking for inspiration to get into the holiday spirit or new dishes to bring to the next potluck, there are few better times to explore the world through food than during the holidays. We’ve gathered several culinary holiday customs for you to get started, from recipes that have stood the test of time to traditions that bring luck in the new year.
Alaska, the largest state in the U.S., is a hugely popular destination for its seemingly endless rugged landscapes and incredible wildlife, such as black bears, bald eagles and moose.
Whether you’re in the Caribbean, the Mediterranean or any of the 240 destinations you can visit on a Royal Caribbean cruise, there’s a world of flavors to explore on board. Think Italian trattorias, American steakhouses, Mexican street fare, fresh sushi and hibachi, New England-inspired spots, vegan menus and more. There’s a mix of new takes on traditional dishes as well as classics, and one enduring favorite is the quintessential chocolate chip cookie.
Food is at the center of many memories made while you’re on vacation, and there are plenty of opportunities for such moments on a cruise. Whether you’re into discovering new cuisines or bonding with family over a good meal—or both—you’ll have a variety of restaurants, bars and lounges to choose from on Royal Caribbean ships. From casual Mexican street fare like tacos and burritos at El Loco Fresh to authentic Italian dishes at Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar, to fresh sushi, sashimi and hibachi at Izumi, as well as a lineup of vegetarian and vegan options, there’s something for everyone.
There are countless things you may miss in between cruises on your favorite ships: Whether it’s the top-rated beaches, the underwater adventures just offshore or exploring the picturesque destinations. And one other crucial ingredient that makes a cruise an ideal vacation for the whole family is the food, of course!
A great way to savor a vacation is to discover how a new flavor can enhance your travels and bring you back to that memory with just one bite. While many restaurants offer a farm-to-table experience, it doesn’t get any more local than a cruise to the Caribbean where you can actually get a taste of the tropics through locally grown fruits.
The holidays are a time to whip up special recipes to share with loved ones and, if you’re lucky, ring in the new year on a Royal Caribbean ship. In anticipation of indulging in a signature warm chocolate cake or creme brulee on board, we’re looking to several countries you can visit on a cruise for a sweet taste of the holiday spirit.
