• The main Waterfront Restaurant (buffet dining).
• The Plantation Restaurant (24-hour buffet dining).
• La Luna deck café (extra charge at night, waiter service).
• The Bistro (evenings only, waiter service, extra charge applies).

At the two main restaurants, Waterfront and Plantation, you'll find a great range of high quality buffet options available around the clock. The ship also boasts La Luna and The Bistro. By day, La Luna is an open-air deck café, while at night it offers poolside dining by starlight.

The Bistro is our gourmet dining experience. Endorsed by celebrity TV chef James Martin, who travels regularly onboard, it serves up a superb fusion menu of modern British and Mediterranean flavours.

A few drinks after dinner? Or are you planning to stay out all night?
How you occupy yourself in the evening may depend on what you've done with your day. If you pounded the streets, you might want a quiet drink and the chance to watch the Mediterranean sun go down. But if you've been lying on the beach, you're probably just gearing up for the night ahead.
With eight different bars, a club and the casino, the night's alive with possibilities...

• Head for the deck for a sunset barbeque.
• Visit the Marquee bar, featuring contemporary acrobatic shows, cabaret, live bands and stand-up comedy.
• Enjoy a recent release at the Movie Drome cinema.
• Chance your luck at the casino.
• Boogie down to the Bayside Nightclub.
• Relax with friends at one of the bars on board.

(Our contemporary circus performers will be passing on some of their secrets on board.  Having seen their acrobatic feats during the evening, here's your chance to join a workshop to learn juggling, dive rolls or balancing acts the next day!)

Set sail aboard the biggest, newest and best-equipped ship in its league and you'll find a fantastic range of options for children and adults - it's perfect if you're travelling in a family group and you've all got varied interests and want different things from your holiday.

We know that for families, the best way to ensure that everyone has a fantastic time is to provide great children's facilities and daily programmes that capture the imaginations of kids from tots to teens, especially in peak season. 

Aboard Ocean Village, families will be invited to an informal meeting at the start of the holiday where our Youth Team will explain all about the child facilities on board, the activities planned and the few restrictions on board (the Riviera Pool is open to everyone but it's adults only in the Crystal Pool/Splash bar for example).

Don't just take our word for it

At the end of every cruise passengers receive a comment form to rate their enjoyment of the cruise. During summer 2004 over 94% of people rated the attitude and friendliness of the Youth Team as either "Fab" or "Good".
