MENU HIGHLIGHTS

Appetisers at Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade are larger than life. Try the group-friendly Pile On Nachos, loaded with gooey cheese, sliced jalapeños, creamy guacamole, salsa and sour cream – you can add pulled pork or chilli, too. The Pigskin Sliders are also delicious. Stuffed with tangy BBQ pulled pork, they go great with an order of the garlicky Parmesan-sprinkled Playmakers Fries. If you’re a wing lover, you can pair your order with three different sauces – Buffalo, BBQ or Jamaican Jerk – each with varying levels of spice. And if you’re craving a great burger, Playmakers has two to choose from: the classic and a version with truffle cheese sauce. There’s also an Impossible Burger that’s out of this world, if you’re looking for a plant-based option that packs in plenty of flavour. Dessert here lives up to the hype, too, so definitely save some room. Go for the five-scoop Touchdown Sundae or the Campfire Cookie, baked with melted marshmallow and Nutella and paired with milk shooters on the side.

HOW TO PURCHASE

Beverage Package or A La Carte

AGE RESTRICTION

21+ on sailings from North America, 18+ on sailings from South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

Whether your go-to spirit is vodka, gin, tequila, whiskey or rum, you’ll find something delicious to sip on at the Pool Bar. Tequila lovers should definitely try the Royal Citrus Ritatini, made with Avion Silver, Cointreau and fresh lime, or the Smokey Rita — a twist on the classic marg that spotlights Del Maguey Vida Blanco mezcal, triple sec, orange juice and margarita mix. If you’re more into whiskey or bourbon, opt for a classic Manhattan or a Rob Roy, both blended with just the right amount of sweet vermouth. And if you’re in the mood for something ginny, try the blood orange negroni — elevated with a small splash of blood orange, it’ll transport you straight to the storied bars of Florence, where this classic aperitif was born.

PRO TIP

If you don’t want to leave your lounger, an attendant can bring your order to you from the bar.

21+ on sailings from North America, 18+ on sailings from South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

You can’t go wrong with a classic mojito at Boleros, but everything on the cocktail menu here is worth trying. If you like your drinks on the fruitier side, try the kiwi caipirinha or the Fruitful Hurricane, made with white and dark rums, orange juice, lime juice, sugar syrup and grenadine. Want something a little more intense? You’ll love the Smokey Sunrise, which blends Del Maguey Vida mezcal agave nectar, orange juice and grenadine. If you’re a traditionalist, go for the Dark Cuba Libre, a simple yet delicious trio of Bacardi 8 rum, lime juice and Coke. Or mix things up with a bubbly Sombrero Cooler, made with silver tequila, orange juice, agave nectar and sparkling wine.

PRO TIP

If you don’t want to miss a single beat, check your Cruise Compass for the band’s performance schedule at Boleros.

Entertainment
Vintages

UNCORK ADVENTURE & RAISE A GLASS

Whether it’s malbec, merlot, riesling or pinot grigio, you’re sure to find all your beloved reds or whites at Vintages wine bar. From France to California, the wide world of wine is well-represented through extensive partnerships with top winemakers, including some exclusive bottles you won't find anywhere else.

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

Deciding what to drink at Vintages all depends on your own personal preferences. If you love a great reisling, try a glass of light and fruity Dürnberg from Austria. If sauvignon blanc is more your speed, the menu at Vintages offers several great options from Marlborough, New Zealand. Those looking for something richer and more full-bodied should try Two Hands’ “Gnarly Dudes” shiraz from Barossa Valley, South Africa, or a glass of Cheval des Andes from Mendoza, Argentina — a balanced blend of Malbec grapes and Bordeaux varietals. Celebrating a special occasion or just want to dial up your evening with something bubbly? Choose between delicious prosecco from Veneto, cava from Catalonia, or brut and brut rosé from Champagne.

PRO TIP

Check the menu or ask your bartender about wine specials, offered daily.

Entertainment
Solarium Bar

SUN, SERENITY & SIPS

Relaxation can be thirsty work. While you're soaking up the vibe at the adults-only Solarium, grab a refreshment from the Solarium Bar, where friendly bartenders serve wine, beer, cocktails and chilled tropical drinks perfect for sipping beneath your poolside umbrella.

NOTE

Images might not be accurate depictions of venue as each venue's appearance varies per ship

AGE RESTRICTION

21+ on sailings from North America, 18+ on sailings from South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

The British Pimm’s Cup, the Aperol Spritz, and the Coca-Cola and Kahlua-infused Hennessy Black Bull are staples at Solarium Bar. But if you prefer to unwind with something a little different, opt for one of the premium mixed drinks on the menu. The Kentucky Burgundy is a favourite among bourbon lovers. Made with Maker’s Mark, crème de cassis, fresh lime and strawberry mix, it strikes the perfect balance between spirit-forward, sweet and citrusy. Or keep things simple with an iconic Rob Roy, which spotlights Dewar’s White shaken with sweet vermouth. And if you like your drinks sweet and sour, go for the Washington Apple, a tart blend of Crown Royal, sour apple liqueur, and cranberry juice.

PRO TIP

Don’t see your drink of choice on the menu? This is a full bar and the bartenders know their stuff — feel free to make a special drink request.

English Pub

PINTS AND POURS FOR EVERY SHORE

If you’re looking to grab a pint, this fleet-wide favourite is the spot. Pop-up musical performances keep the vibe here is as lively as London, and the pub’s impressive drink menu offers a sweeping selection of beers that range from ales to lagers, with UK-themed cocktails and an inspired collection of spirits.

HOW TO PURCHASE

Beverage Package or A La Carte

AGE RESTRICTION

21+ on sailings from North America, 18+ on sailings from South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

The English Pub is best known for its wide and diverse selection of beers, but you can also order up a mean cocktail here. If you want something smooth yet strong, go for the James Bond Martini. It’s a powerhouse triad of Belvedere vodka, Beefeater gin, and Lillet Blanc. If you love bourbon, try the Buffalo Manhattan, which swaps out whiskey for Buffalo Trace with sweet vermouth and a splash of Angostura bitters. And if you’re having trouble deciding between spirits, order the Boston Iced Tea Party, made with Tanqueray gin, Bacardi Superior rum, Absolut vodka, triple sec, and sweet and sour mix. Want to try something really different? Ask for a beertini or cockt-ale —mixed drinks infused with brews to create one-of-a-kind libations you can savour slowly..

PRO TIP

If you’re new to the beer world, check the menu. Some include guides to help you navigate all the different beer styles and flavours.

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

If you’re in the mood for a glass of wine, you’ll be pleased to find the menu at the Suite Lounge covers most of the bases — sparkling, white zin, pinot grigio, merlot, cabernet sauvignon — you name it. If you’d rather unwind with a cold, refreshing beer, the Suite Lounge offers a great selection of domestic and international brews to choose from. The bar here is also well stocked with popular spirits like New Amsterdam vodka, Bacardi rum, Beefeater gin, Glenfiddich Scotch whisky, Jose Cuervo Gold tequila, and more. Sip your preference neat, on the rocks, or with your go-to juice or soda mixer.

PRO TIP

Kids are welcome at the Suite Lounge during breakfast hours. In the evenings, the space is open to guests of legal drinking age.

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

If you love a great old fashioned, you’ll find five versions of it on the menu at Schooner Bar, including a tropical twist that blends muddled cherries and pineapple with orange bitters and Malibu Coconut rum, and an innovative New Fashioned that brings in pink grapefruit, fresh raspberries, and a little bit of Southern Comfort. You can also dial up your night with a glamorous champagne cocktail, topped with Domaine Chandon and sweetened with an Angostura-doused sugar cube. Or sip your way across the Caribbean with a Zacapa rum-spiked daiquiri, shaken hard and double-strained, or a classic Papa Doble, prepared with Bacardi Superior rum, lychee and grapefruit juice. If you’re a fan of the Tom Collins, you’ll find that, too — plus four additional versions that each spotlight a different spirit.

PRO TIP

Up for something different? Let the bartender know what your favourite spirit is, and ask them to whip you up a surprise.
