Your Guide to Eating and Drinking on Oasis of the Seas

Take a break from the hectic pace of life with Royal Caribbean’s iconic Oasis of the Seas, transporting you to balmy Bahamian beaches. Oasis of the Seas sails from the New York area, which means Northeasterners can board right in their backyard, providing even more time for them to explore the ship on the first day.

With extra time on your hands, you can explore the ship’s seven neighborhoods and take an informal food tour. Oasis of the Seas guests have 23 specialty and complimentary dining options, including traveler favorites from other Royal Caribbean ships and all-new offerings. Read on to find out what to eat and drink on the original cruise game changer.

Treat Your Taste Buds

Take a spin on the smokier side with Portside BBQ, Royal Caribbean’s first-ever barbeque venue. Meat lovers will rejoice at the pit master perfection of low and slow-cooked tender brisket, pulled pork, chicken, beef ribs and more. Supplement these entrees with mouthwatering sides like homestyle cornbread or macaroni & cheese that melts in your mouth, then top it off with a sweet Banana Dream or a brownie cookie mashup called the Chocolate Brookie.

In the mood for cuisine that’s a little more international? The fast-casual El Loco Fresh serves up tacos, quesadillas, beef burritos and carnitas, plus chips topped with a classic mole sauce, tangy salsa verde and guacamole. To make its grab-and-go goodness even more appetizing, El Loco Fresh is a complimentary dining option.

When it comes time for dessert, you can indulge your sweet tooth at Sugar Beach. Situated in the Boardwalk neighborhood amongst attractions like a handcrafted wooden carousel and classic carnival games, the venue has a walkup ice cream window and more than 220 types of sugary confections and candy to choose from. Plus, families can express their creativity through the medium of icing and sprinkles in a cupcake decorating class.

Those venues join an already all-star roster of restaurants: Complimentary options like the Windjammer Marketplace, Sorrento’s Pizza and Solarium Bistro and specialty spots like Chops Grille, Izumi Hibachi & Sushi and Giovanni’s Table.

Drumroll … for the Drinks

For guests ages 21 and older, nothing says adventure like a crafted cocktail. Luckily, Oasis of the Seas has plenty of ways travelers can enjoy one.

With a laid-back atmosphere, live music and DJs, The Lime and Coconut serves a variety of tropical flavors like its signature Lime and Coconut cocktail. By day, the Caribbean-style bar offers fruity refreshments and a break from sun-soaked fun; by night, it transforms into one of the hottest spots on board to hang out with friends old and new.

If The Lime and Coconut serves as a classic poolside watering hole, then Bionic Bar offers a glimpse into the future. Manned by two robotic bartenders, Bionic Bar blends mixology and technology to create a one-of-a-kind, high-tech night out. Use a nearby tablet to order anything from a Manhattan cocktail to a custom drink creation of your own, then sit back and watch as the bionic bartenders get to work.

The Lime and Coconut and Bionic Bar are the newest additions to the diverse array of bars and lounges on deck. The Rising Tide Bar is an elevator bar spanning three decks that allows guests to sip their drink of choice while enjoying a scenic ride from the Royal Promenade on deck five to Central Park on deck eight. The nautical-themed Schooner Bar is settled firmly on the ground and hosts an intimate atmosphere with a live pianist.

While the bars and lounges are restricted to travelers ages 21 and older, vacationers of all ages can get beverage packages to quench their thirst for a lower price. Three of the four available provide deals on non-alcoholic drinks, from water (Water Bottle Package) to fountain soda (Classic Soda Package) to tea, juices and mocktails (Refreshment Package). The Deluxe Beverage Package offers savings on every drink that the other three packages include as well as cocktails, spirits, liquor, beer and wine by the glass.

Is your stomach rumbling yet? Packed with new and signature culinary experiences from bow to stern, Oasis of the Seas’ tantalizing food and drink options await travelers who sail on a voyage from the New York area.
