The Food on our cruise

We have to admit it . . . we area all "foodies." We are just so spoiled with all the great food we get to eat on a regular basis at home and in Santa Barbara restaurants, etc. Given how good the food was, it was a darned good thing that the ship has a gym where we could at least attempt to burn off some of the calories we were consuming!

The Fitness Center on the Riviera -- we worked out most mornings.

There are a total of SEVEN restaurants on board. There are four specialty themed restaurants where you are required to have a reservation. Those were . . .

Jacques -- a beautiful french restaurant named for Jacques Pepin. We ate here on our first night.

Polo Grill - this is a steak house similar to Lucky's or Sly's in Santa Barbara. We ate here on the 3rd night.

Toscana -- this is an elegant Italian restaurant. We ate here on our 4th night.

Red Ginger -- this is an Asian themed restaurant and we ate there on our final night. This was probably the kids' favorite restaurant.

The Grand Dining Room -- this is a huge room and the food was nearly as good here as the specialty restaurants. We ate here twice.

The Terrace Cafe -- this is a more casual dining area that includes a beautiful outside terrace at the back of the boat with great views. It is all buffet.

Waves Grill -- this was a more casual spot with outside seating only. We ate breakfast here many times and a few lunches. This is similar to the cafe at the Coral Casino.

Room service is included at no extra charge and the kids availed themselves of a few snacks and maybe one meal by the room service.
