Cuisine of Oasis of the Seas

Lets eat...

If you're hungry for pizza at any time of

the day, Sorrento's is the place to be. They

serve up surprisingly good pizza, small 

sandwiches and desserts. They also have a

nice antipasto bar. Quite a few evenings I

stopped by to grab some olives and bread sticks

for the room.

The Grande Dinning Room...

Dinner in the main dining room is always

a nice way to wind down your day. The

whole family is usually there, the food is

great and the service is outstanding. I'm 

not going to go through all the food, the

pictures speak for themselves, but i will

say the chicken cordon bleu, right center

above, was amazing. The salmon and

shrimp also stood out. Lobster night is

always a blast too...all you can eat. I think

most of us had two tails apiece..along 

with prime rib. One thing you will never

be on a cruise ship is hungry. Below are

the desserts. My favorites were the

Royal Cheesecake and the Grand Marnier

Souffle. Dawn's favorite was the warm,

melting cookie thing...top right below. She

liked it so much they made it for her

again the next day.

Looks like Yosh is having the spinach and

ricotta ravioli.

The Park Cafe is located in the central 

park area of the ship. It's a good spot

to grab a quick bite to eat and avoid the

crowds. Our room was on the same deck

so we were there often. They have a nice

salad bar, good selections of sandwiches 

and a soup of the day. What really stands 

out here is the hand cut roast beef Kummelweck

sandwich It's very tasty...my Dad especially liked 

it. The Park Cafe also serves a limited

breakfast of sandwiches and pastries.

This is the Tres Quesos quesadillas. It

has melted Monterey Jack, queso fresco

and Chihuahua cheeses, scallions and a

pinch of cumin.

Sabor Taqueria is the Mexican restaurant 

on board. It's an open air restaurant in the

Boardwalk area of the ship. I wasn't

expecting much but we were all pleasantly 

surprised. The calamari was outstanding as

was the made to order guacamole. The

spicy beef empanadas and bacon wrapped,

chicken stuffed jalapenos were also tasty.

The desserts are also worth trying. We had

the Mexican Cinnamon Churros and the

Banana and Chocolate Chimichangas. Come

with an appetite, the portions are big.

Tasty table side guacamole...

These are cupcake sundaes from the

Ice Cream Parlor in the boardwalk 

area of the ship. You pick out a cupcake,

the put it in the bottom of the cup and

build your sundae on top. They were good

but super sweet. These aren't included with

your cruise fare. I think they are around

five bucks.

Making sushi isn't as difficult as you think.

The Japanese restaurant Izumi offered sushi

making classes on sea days. We had to give

 it a try. For $35 you get instructed by a sushi

chef on how to make three different rolls. The rolls are, spicy tuna, California and tempura shrimp. When you finish you get to eat

what you created. It's actually a pretty good

deal...I left stuffed. At the end everyone is

presented with a certificate of completion. It's

really fun if you ever get the chance.

Breakfast options abound on the ship.

If you're in the mood for a quiet, leisurely 

breakfast head for the main dinning 

room. Pictured above. For a quick bite

to eat with tons of options head for the

buffet. Pictured below. Johnny Rockets

cooks up a good diner style breakfast, and

if you're feeling lazy...just order room service.

Room services breakfast. Not too bad if
you're feeling lazy or have an early port.

Giovanni's Table was a real treat. Dawn and
I went along with my parents and Dawn's
friend Melissa. It's not included with your
cruise fare so it's an extra charge of $25
per person. It's worth it though. The food
was excellent across the board. I had the
braised veal ossobuco. It was tender and
delicious. A few other things that stood out
were the grilled octopus, the caprese salad
and the tuna. For dessert the Tiramisu
Classico was tasty. Good food and good
company made for a great evening.

If was fun having a table all to ourselves.

Our awesome servers...Marcel and Iwayan.

The quality of food and the high level of service really

stood out on this cruise. And lets be honest, all that food 

available at all hours is a big part of why cruises 

are so popular. Oasis of the Seas does it right. From the dinning room to the Park Cafe. It really is amazing 

they are able to feed so many people & keep the 

quality high across the board. I hope they keep it 

up. We already have our next cruise booked on 

Symphony of the Seas for March 2020. We heard 

one of our servers, Iwayn, was transferring there

to be a head waiter. I hope we can request him.

That's it for now...next up, precruise Disney World.
