ALLURE OF THE SEAS
DEBUTS NEW RESTAURANTS AND TANTALIZING MENUS
Brazilian Steakhouse Completes the 24 Dining Venues That
Cater to Any Craving
MIAMI, Sept. 8, 2010 – Showcasing onboard experiences all her
own, Royal Caribbean International’s Allure of the Seas,
the world’s next largest and most innovative cruise ship
debuting in December 2010, will introduce new culinary concepts
and tempting twists to signature Oasis-class restaurants. A
Brazilian steakhouse will be a destination restaurant that comes
to life for dinner service in the Solarium, featuring authentic
Brazilian-style meats and seafood dishes, from Picanha cut
sirloin steak to Atlantic salmon marinated with sea salt and
garlic, served table-side and sliced straight off the skewer. In
Central Park, recently anointed Chef de Cuisine Molly Brandt
will present guests with a one-of-a-kind menu and distinct
dining experience at Allure of the Seas’ 150 Central Park, a
signature fine dining experience.
“As churrascaria concept restaurants gain popularity on land,
Royal Caribbean is taking advantage of having a new ship to
introduce a Brazilian steakhouse and bring a new dynamic and
colorful nightlife ambiance for adults in the Solarium,” says
Lisa Bauer, senior vice president, Hotel Operations, Royal
Caribbean International. “Guests onboard Allure of the Seas
will have a new arrangement of dining experiences throughout the
ship, from the Adagio Main Dining Room to new venues on the
Boardwalk and Royal Promenade.”
Combining the best of classic Mexican beach bars and Southern
California’s famed taquerias, Rita’s Cantina will be a vibrant
new restaurant in the Boardwalk neighborhood. Adults and kids
alike will enjoy some of their favorite Mexican fare, such as
shrimp ceviche tostadas, warm tortilla chips with salsa and
fiesta guacamole, as well as entrées, such as fajitas, fish
tacos and Chipotle-style flautas. The more casual setting will
be a favorite lunch, snack or dinner spot for guests seeking a
flavorful fiesta onboard Allure of the Seas. Rita’s
Cantina also will boast some of the best and widest selection of
margaritas at sea, offering both authentic and signature
concoctions mixed with a choice from the extensive list of
quality tequilas, served on the rocks or frozen in a variety of
fruit-flavor combinations. In addition, the restaurant will
introduce new nightlife to Boardwalk with live guitar music,
drinks and dancing. Rita Cantina’s design will include large
open breezeways and an outdoor seating area complete with high
top tables and stools, and will be located in place of Seafood
Shack onboard sister-ship Oasis of the Seas.
Also new to Boardwalk’s dynamic and engaging scene will be The
Boardwalk Dog House, an outdoor hot-dog specialty counter
located where The Donut Shop is on Oasis of the Seas.
Guests can choose from traditional hot dogs, wieners, brats,
sausages and other delicious linked meats and a variety of
toppings to split a long bun. The Donut Shop will remain on
Boardwalk in a new location next to the Ice Cream Parlor.
