hey guys I'm Abby and I'm Sophie and
we're aboard the world's largest cruise
ship her name is the symphony of the
Seas and she's a Royal Caribbean ship so
there are 23 dining options aboard this
ship some that are excluded and some
that aren't but that can be pretty
overwhelming if you only have 7 days to
eat we're gonna do our best though and
we're gonna try as many different dishes
as we possibly can this week and then
we'll let you know which dishes are the
best now it's nearly impossible to try
everything on a ship the size of four
football fields so to make sure we
didn't miss the good stuff we did our
fair share of research we scroll through
blog posts cruise ship reviews and talk
to people on board my favorite thing in
the Maine is the magical awesome
[Music]
most passengers spend the majority of
their meal time in the dining halls
since they're included in the cruise
ticket but the dishes people suggested
the most weren't in the dining halls
there were signature items so we picked
the most popular dish at eight different
eateries we're gonna try each of them
and decide on our favorite so let's go
eat first up we've got a loco fresh
located on the fifteenth deck the casual
Mexican spot is included in the price of
your ticket and serves up nachos
burritos and quesadillas buffet style we
went to try the tacos backwalk is good
[Music]
I like the meat you lied to me I think
they like the pork honestly I didn't
think like walk sitting out on a cruise
outside to be good but it's really good
walking about that there's an ice pick
to all of it the tortillas were nothing
special but the meats were surprisingly
juicy and had a nice pungent flavor the
fresh topping bar was packed with
add-ons so the world hungry Deanna over
on the 12th deck is the ship's Alice in
Wonderland themed restaurant Emile
Wonderland costs about $50 a person on
top of your ticket the food is presented
in super creative and fun ways I found
these adorable magic mushrooms on
Instagram and knew we had to try them
almond cake and a pistachio white
chocolate mousse makes the mushroom top
the red is a peach glaze and it's served
over a dirt of pistachios and red velvet
and chocolate cake crumbs and comes with
a mango sherbert yeah this is very nutty
like also spongy like the combination of
the like hard macaron and then Sanji top
and this is super crispy sugary and
delicious too and then you can't go
wrong with server
located on the eighth deck inside the
park is the ship's ritziest restaurant
150 Central Park be warned though this
place is fancy it's fifty dollars a
plate and nice dress is required I
obviously did not get the memo
the ship's head chef told us we had to
try the short rib
braised Harris beef with charred leeks
and a butternut squash puree so when I
was doing my research this came up as
one of the best dishes chips and you get
a let you have it I'm gonna steal a
couple bites super tender you barely
touch it and falls apart this is really
really good just so soft and delicate
I'm not saying about next up celebrity
chef Jamie Oliver's namesake restaurant
Jamie is Italian I love Jamie Oliver I
have all of his cookbooks so I was
totally fangirling when we went Jamie's
is a lot more casual than 150 Central
Park and a little cheaper too at $35 a
person we came to try the truffle
alfredo pasta fettuccine with a creamy
truffle alfredo sauce Parmesan cheese
truffle oil and truffle shavings
[Music]
so truffle ooh so creamy pasta al dente
perfection Dec 6 has the ship's hotdog
stand everything on the menu at doghouse
is included in the price of your ticket
we were told it was best for a quick
bite I got the classic Coney duck and I
got the Big Apple is what's on New York
might as well represent right this
hotdog has chicken and apples in it and
is really good I actually don't love
hotdogs so this is kind of a nice
alternative but the bread - sausage
ratio just across the promenade from
doghouses playmakers the ship's sports
bar it serves up everything you need for
a big game wings nachos sliders chicken
tenders be warned the food costs extra
ins priced al akkari we had planned to
review the helmet Sunday and we actually
changed our minds once we tried the $6
campfire cookie a warm chocolate chip
cookie covered in marshmallows and
Nutella and served with a scoop of ice
cream and a glass of milk
[Music]
I'm not a nutrient of marginal with the
fluffiness of the mercial actually
[Music]
there's no world in which I could eat
that whole thing hooked is Royal
Caribbean's newest restaurant it's all
about seafood which makes a lot of sense
since we're at sea for $35 a person you
can get fresh oysters or New England
crab cakes but we're here for the Maine
lobster roll clumps of lobster claw
mixed with mayonnaise and chives and
served on a buttered and toasted roll
[Music]
I'm definitely not a lobster connoisseur
like you are I really like the charring
in the bread I think it adds a lot of
like kind of smokiness of the flavor I
think this is definitely on the list oh
yeah this is special I really like about
the lobster roll what that wasn't too
mayonnaise and they were really generous
with the lobster a lobster roll is just
a lot of mayonnaise
zoomy is Symphony of the Seas Penn Asian
concept the menu is stacked with sushi
food on ramen and fried rice all at a la
carte pricing we came here to try the
creamy truffle lobster tempura roll the
chef's signature roll cost $16 but its
hefty kampachi salmon and asparagus make
up the roll and is topped with a chunk
of lobster tempura tossed and ponzu and
spicy mayo and if that's not enough
there's a drizzle of truffle oil to
finish it all off
going up a tee that is really good party
but really this is unique I've never had
truffle lobster organization everything
we are fat we are tired but we did all
for you guys yeah we did so Sophie what
was your favorite dish aboard this ship
that's a really tough one considering
just how much we eat this week but for
me I love truffles so I'm gonna go with
the truffle arancini and the truffle
pasta Jamie's Italian yes that was
delicious but for me I think I'm gonna
go for the lobster roll it's also very
good clearly we have really expensive
tastes
because truffles and lobsters are not
cheap food item and both of those
restaurants were actually extra but if
you were gonna try and just stick with
the complimentary what would be your
favorite dish I really like the taco bar
yep I think the local fresh tacos I
really loved how everything at a local
fresh was customisable from the fillings
to the toppings and those fillings were
really flavorful especially the pork and
the beef that topping bar hit it out of
the park and the ingredients were
surprisingly fresh because it was the
face style you could stack those tacos
high without any judgment I was in love
with our guacamole a perfect creaminess
plus the tacos are free with your cruise
ticket which makes them taste even
better
