Dining
The Trellis Restaurant, the ship's main dining room, where formal breakfast, lunch and dinner is served, is lovely. The highlight of the two-tiered restaurant is a huge, paned showcase window that extends from floor to ceiling. Tables are mostly set for combinations of six, eight and beyond (more intimate settings are extremely limited).
Cuisine was generally excellent; the menu at The Trellis featured a nice mix of traditional and imaginative fare that included vegetarian options for each course. From the wait-staff team to the sommelier, service was seamlessly perfect and personable. Other options included The Oceanview Grill and Cafe, which is the ship's poolside buffet restaurant; the Oceanview also has themed stations (French one day, Italian the next), one that serves pizza, a poolside grill for burgers, hotdogs and fries, and an ice cream counter. AquaSpa, the ship's healthy eatery, is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. At night, the Oceanview serves as the ship's "casual dining" eatery; passengers order main courses from a menu and pick up appetizers and dessert at the buffet. Be forewarned: reservations are requested -- and become quite hard to come by as the cruise progresses.
Late risers could partake of pastries at Cova Cafe Milano; the noshing is free though; you'll have to shell out for coffee in whatever form.
The SS United States, the $25 per head alternative restaurant, is actually excellent, serving no-holds-barred four-course meals that include a cheese course -- a novelty for many Americans. While the experience is well worth the extra tariff, the overall tone of the restaurant is a bit condescending -- telling diners how to dress, explaining that a bottle of Cotes du Rhone red wine came from the, um, Cotes du Rhone region of France.

Entering transatlantic passenger service in 1911, the RMS Olympic embodied the opulence and grandeur historic ocean liners are known for. Asked to be of service in World War I, RMS Olympic earned the name "Old Reliable" for her wartime heroics.

Under the professional guidance of Master Chef Michel Roux, an entrée first served in the dining room onboard the original SS United States is prepared for twenty-first century guests.

Furnished with outstanding art deco fittings by the era's best-known French designers, the SS Normandie was considered the ultimate ocean liner of her day. Winning the prestigious Blue Riband award for speed in North Atlantic crossings five times over, she was the first ocean liner to exceed 1,000 feet.
Summit's Normandie Restaurant provides guests with an elegant, alternative dining experience with menu selections inspired by the Normandy region of France, such as Flambéed Scampi flamed in Armagnac accompanied by a 1999 Chassagne Montrachet Chardonnay.

Heralding the inception of Art Deco design into shipbuilding, the Ile de France launched a new era in 1927.

Showcasing a number of rare artifacts, this unique restaurant will whisk you back in time to an age of post-war jubilance and glamorous innovation.
Dining in the style of the great transatlantic passenger ships of the mid-twentieth century, guests enjoy such delicacies as Rack of Lamb en Croute complemented by a vintage burgundy. |
