Avalon Artistry II Lunch

Back from our first official excursion to the Black Forest, it was now time for our first lunch on-board the Artistry II.  As with everything on this cruise, you had choices.   We opted for the buffet lunch in the main dining room.

In this picture you can see guests in the background helping themselves to salad and the main dishes.   Another table had hot and cold soup selections along with breads.   Other choices included daily selections, which could be ordered via one of the waiters, or you could have a light lunch in the lounge if you preferred.

Soup & Salad

The complete lunch buffet included a selection of salad fixings with choice of dressings.

There were two soup choices - Vegetable Bouillon with Potato Strudel and Chilled Pineapple.  Both of the soups were very good.
In fact the chilled soup was so good that instead of dessert, I had a second cup of soup.


Main Dishes

Pictured here are two of the entree choices - Roast Beef Loin with gravy and Strips of Turkey Breast "Chop Suey" over rice.

Each lunch had one or more dishes at the carving station - usually a meat and a pasta as well as self-service selections.

Park Cafe Allure of the Seas

Park Cafe Central Park

Welcome to Central Park, a neighborhood where you can enjoy nature or indulge your cravings for something tasty from one of the quaint shops along the path.


PARK CAFE


Strolling through Central Park, we decided to have some more lunch. Unlike other cruises, we had decided not to have a sit down meal in the buffet, but rather to try one or more of the dining venues.

One of the best kept secrets is Park Cafe's Signature sandwich. It is slow roasted beef on a bun with au jus.

If you wanted, you could order a panini sandwich or even have a salad made to order.  As the name suggests, service is buffet style.   There are several counters to chose from, so take your time and select one or more of your favorites.

We highly recommend the English Toffee cookies and other pastries to complete your meal.

As you know, several of the dining options on the Allure have an extra charge, but Park Cafe isn't one of them

There is much to tell about the Allure of the Seas.   Central Park is just one of the locations where you can find a quick bite to eat or have a relaxing meal.
