People sing praise about the Carmen Dining Room. In tune with the elegant décor that defines the Empress of the Seas, the Carmen Dining Room is lovely to look at. This room rises above dining rooms of old with a second level and three walls of windows that warm breakfast and lunch, and color evening meals with the sunset. Twin stairs connect the two floors and lead to the room’s centerpiece and main music source, a white grand piano.
Windjammer Cafe:
Casual dining with views to die for.
For self serve buffet style breakfast and lunch the Windjammer Café sets up a mighty big feast. Food is in an abundant variety, and no one is watching how high you pile your plate up. Located fore of the pools on Sun Deck, it’s an easy place to swing by after day at the pool. Dinner service steps up a notch and offers tableside service. Attire is still casual, although Speedos are never acceptable.

Choose one evening of your cruise and make it extra special. Make a reservation at Portofino, Royal Caribbean’s signature upscale restaurant featuring excellent Italian cuisine. There’s a modest extra cost but the buzz on the ship is that it’ll be the best meal of your vacation!
