The Reflections Main Dining Room

Located aft on Decks 4 and 5, the Reflections main dining room on the Serenade of the Seas is a two tiered main dining room. The Cascades has a lovely waterfall among its classic décor. The menu varies daily, and always includes Chef signature entrees, as well as vegetarian, beef, seafood, chicken, and continental selections. Soups and salads are among starters, and there's always the dessert menu to finish your lunch or dinner. The main dining room menu features Ship Shape entrees for the diet conscious.

You may choose between My Time Dining, Traditional early dinner (6:00 PM), or Traditional late dinner (8:30 PM) seating when you make your cruise reservation. With My Time Dining, you are welcome to show-up at any time to be seated for dinner. However, it is advised that you inform the Maître D' of your preferred dining time earlier in the day, or set a consistent time with the Maître D' on the first day of your cruise. If you show-up and you have not set a dining time previously, you may have a short wait until a table becomes available.

My Time Dining and Special Dietary Needs on the Serenade of the Seas

Throughout your Royal Caribbean Serenade of the Seas cruise, you'll be able to savor cuisine as you wish on your time! You may choose between My Time Dining, early dinner (6:15 PM), or late dinner (8:30 PM) during the cruise booking process. My Time Dining on Royal Caribbean may also be opted once aboard. To participate in My Time Dining, you must pre-pay your gratuities (tips). My Time Dining does mean you have the ability to show up at the dining room anytime between 6:00 and 9:30 PM, however, past cruisers suggest that the best way to enjoy My Time Dining is to let the maitre d' know what time you plan on arriving. This way your table will be most likely ready when you arrive. If you show up without making prior arrangements with the maitre d', there may be a short wait to be seated.

The Serenade of the Seas can accommodate dietary requirements, including, gluten free, food allergies, kosher, low-fat, lactose-free, soy milk, Ensure, and low-sodium meals.
