Get a taste for the high life on a foodie-friendly cruise

Telegraph13-05-2025

From the freshest sushi to the most succulent steaks, you'll find a delicious assortment of culinary delights on board Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas. The ship has been given a spectacular makeover to explore the best of Europe during the 2025 season, so if you dream of a Mediterranean cruise, for example, you're sure to find something to satisfy every palate.
What's new?
For a taste of the tropical head to the all-new Lime and Coconut poolside bar, which features resident DJs, live music performances and expert mixologists. The Pesky Parrot tiki bar, another new addition, is all about the Caribbean vibe with rum, tequila, gin and fruity cocktails, all served in a cool, relaxing setting.
When it's time to dine, you won't be starved of tantalising options. The newly opened El Loco Fresh serves up Mexican marvels, from homemade salsa verde, shareable nachos and stacked beef burritos to mouthwatering carnitas and quesadillas.
Another inspired new eatery, the Mason Jar Southern Restaurant, is the perfect place to sample the best at-sea soul food, while the Playmaker Sports Bar and Arcade offers all-American favourites, from burgers and hotdogs to ice-cold draught beer.
Dine your own way
Whether you're looking for a special gourmet experience or a delicious meal to keep the whole family happy, it's a breeze aboard Allure of the Seas.
For a relaxing, casual dining experience, the Windjammer is the ideal spot. A self-serve buffet-style restaurant, it offers a wide range of healthy eating options and serves laid-back breakfasts, lunches and dinners. You'll savour freshly baked morning pastries and omelettes cooked just how you like them, mains that range from southern-style crispy chicken through to Vietnamese delights, along with fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, salads and more. It's your go-to place for globally inspired cuisine and, thanks to its daily changing menu, you'll always have something fresh to choose from.
The Main Dining Room is another great spot that will keep you satisfied from breakfast through to dinner. This multi-level restaurant offers a world of flavours that will whisk you from Italy to India and everywhere in between. And the dedicated children's menu will win over even the fussiest eaters, thanks to its array of mouthwatering, crowd-pleasing dishes.
If you'd prefer some quick bites, head to the Park Café, tuck into burgers at Johnny Rocket's, treat the family to authentic New York pizza at Sorrento's or snack on Mediterranean-inspired dishes at the Solarium Bistro.
For those moments when you and the family want to relax and eat in the comfort of your own stateroom, the room service menu can provide a range of dishes at any time of day or night. From continental breakfasts in bed to big family feasts in the evening, you can order a diverse selection of delicacies, delivered straight to your door.
And when hunger strikes or if you're looking for a treat, opt for on-the-go gourmet hot dogs loaded with your favourite toppings at the Boardwalk Dog House. Your little ones can also grab refreshing frozen yogurt from stations near their dedicated pool area, and you can get your coffee fix at the on-board Starbucks.
Grown-up gourmet delights
While there are plenty of treats that will keep the kids happy, adults have the luxury of indulging in sophisticated dining. Kick off a classy evening with pre-dinner drinks at the Pesky Parrot, where you'll choose from expertly crafted cocktails, specialist rums, tequilas and more, soaking up the laid-back, Caribbean-inspired setting.
Then it's time to treat yourself to a wonderful culinary experience at one of the ship's specialty restaurants. At Samba Grill Brazilian Steakhouse, succulent slow-roasted meats are carved tableside in the tradition of southern Brazil's gauchos. Start your journey with sumptuous starters, then go from prime picanha beef to frango chicken. Taste a little, or taste it all – the flavours here are as big as Brazil.
Savour succulent steaks at Chops Grille, indulge in authentic Italian cuisine at Giovanni's Table or experience the art of Japanese teppanyaki at Izumi Hibachi & Sushi. For an intimate dinner for two, reserve a spot at the Chef's Table, where you'll be treated to an unforgettable multi-course tasting menu. You can also enjoy seasonal dishes paired with world-class wines at 150 Central Park.
Guests staying in qualifying suites and Pinnacle Club members will also have exclusive access to the Coastal Kitchen, which offers an evolving menu of fresh dishes inspired by a fusion of farm-fresh Californian flavours and Mediterranean cuisine.
With such a wide range of on-board dining options available, you'll find everything you need for a decadent breakfast or brunch, lunch and dinner on Allure of the Seas. From grab-and-go delicacies and casual family-friendly eateries to upscale restaurants, there's truly something for everyone.

Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo enjoy 'slice of heaven' vacation... nearly three years after 'sexting' scandal

Adam Levine and wife Behati Prinsloo seemed to be having the time of their lives if photos the model posted on social media are any indication. Prinsloo, 37, shared the fun-filled photos on her Instagram page on Thursday, writing that they were reflecting 'A slice of heaven,' though she didn't say where they and their family and friends were visiting. The couple appeared to be reinvigorating their romance almost three years after their marriage was beset by the Maroon 5 frontman's sordid 'sexting' scandal. Levine, 46, and his family chartered a luxury yacht that appeared to be tooling around the Mediterranean. One photo showed the runway regular flaunting her long, lean legs in a navy blue one-piece bathing suit with white trim. The cover model placed a dark towel over her shoulder and wore a beige billed hat and sunglasses as folks behind her worked with a motorized dingy used to transport guests to shore. A group shot featured several adults and kids out on the deck of the ship enjoying a little sunbathing. Levine seemed to enjoy getting some sun while a knee-length pair of swim shorts and a straw western hat against the backdrop of sapphire blue waters and towering cliffs. One sweet shot showed the Sugar singer holding hands with one of his daughters and his son as they looked over the rail of the yacht and into the horizon. The couple are the parents to daughters Dusty Rose, eight; Gio Grace, seven and a son, two, whose name has not has not been released. After seeing the photos, fellow model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley responded with a series of heart emojis, as did several others. 'What an awesome trip. Family and friends, the best!❤️,' commented a fan. 'Perfection!' stated another. Many guessed the group was enjoying time in Italy after seeing a photo of Levine in front of a Gelato sign. 'Family goals ❤️ love Italy and Capri,' wrote a fan. The scene of domestic bliss was a far cry from the drama of 2022, when the Levine–Prinsloo marriage was rocked after several women shared screenshots of what they said were flirty texts sent to them by the singer. One of the women even claimed to have had an affair with the Misery singer, which he denied. He did, however, apologize for the inappropriate messages, saying he 'used poor judgment in speaking with anyone other than my wife in ANY kind of flirtatious manner.' Earlier in the week, Prinsloo posted a sweet selfie of herself and Levine, writing 'LOML [Love of my Life]' next to it. Levine and Maroon 5 have a light summer touring schedule planned. The band is set to perform in Endicott, New York, on July 11; New York City on August 11 and September 19 in Las Vegas at the iHeart Music Festival.

How to pull off summer's no make-up look

No make-up make-up is the ultimate beauty oxymoron. Don't expect it to involve fewer products or any less money, but it will most definitely leave you looking your best without seeming overly made-up. In other words, it is perfect for long summer days and lazy holidays. Here's what really works. Stila All About The Blur StickNow this is a little stick of magic that goes on clear, mattifies and gives a soft-focus finish but without pigment. Use on shiny T-zones on warmer days and watch pores, unwanted shine and sweat disappear. £28.50; Merit The Uniform Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF50This tinted sunscreen has taken the beauty cognoscenti by storm this summer. Why? Because it truly works on all skin shades and gives a flattering finish, especially on sensitive and oilier skin. It's not a primary SPF but ideal for an added layer of sun protection. It looks great on the go, comes in 15 shades and is a multifunction summertime saver. £34; Erborian CC CrèmeSeeing is believing with this little beauty from the wildly popular Korean brand. It goes on looking like a moisturiser yet turns to a lightly pigmented, Instagram-esque 'Paris filter' for your face. Just recently it has been reduced in price. It comes in four shades but more are promised later this year. I tested this on This Morning and every male presenter wanted to take one home. Your skin on its best day in a tube. £38; • Caroline Hirons: Britain's most powerful beauty expert House of Hur Moist Ampoule BlusherThis is the serum soft-tint liquid blusher that took TikTok by storm as the much more reasonably priced alternative to Armani. It comes in three shades and is gorgeous: super-flattering and sheer, it blends Korean hydrating skincare with a hint of a tint. £15; Jane Iredale Just Kissed Lip and Cheek StainThis lip balm goes on sheer but reacts to the pH of your lips to create a flattering, slightly intensified version of your lip colour. What's more, it acts as a lipcare balm at the same time to stave off the threat of dry, parched lips. £35, in four shades; Chanel Les Beiges Water-Fresh TintChanel has trouble keeping this in stock the minute the sun shines because it is such a cult product. It adds a hint of a tint, a hit of hydration and a healthy glow. Add concealer for more coverage, but this is the type of base you can wear on the beach and not look as if you're wearing a scrap of make-up (just great skin). £55, in eight shades; 19/99 Lash Tint MascaraNow this is clever: a mascara that is so subtle it can be worn in your brows too. It looks more like a lash tint as it adds colour but no volume or length, for a really natural and pretty look. It's tubing too, so no telltale smudges on hot and sweaty days. Better yet, it will rinse away with just warm water when you want. This is a brilliant Canadian brand that specialises in multipurpose products that are affordable too. £14, in three shades; • Read more beauty product reviews and advice from our experts Wonderskin FYP Translucent PowderI don't care how natural you look, you never want to be sweaty or shiny, and this totally translucent powder will work over even the most subtle base and on any skin tone. I discovered this when chatting to the make-up legend Val Garland, who keeps it in her SOS kit on set both for her own face when filming Glow Up and for models on cover shoots. £18; Glossier Shadow Stick Sometimes you need just a touch of shadow to define the eye in the lash line and in the crease of both eyes. This comes in five shades with music-themed names: try Riff for contouring – it's the ideal neutral shade that creates shadow and definition, blends easily, stays in place and doesn't really look like eyeshadow. £22; Find @nadinebaggott on Instagram and YouTube where she answers all your beauty questions

Newly-single Elma Pazar shows off her sizzling figure in a tiny pink bikini as she parties with Chloe Ferry and Liberty Poole at Shein event in Ibiza

Newly-single Elma Pazar turned heads in Ibiza on Friday as she partied alongside Chloe Ferry and Liberty Poole at a glamorous Shein event at O Beach. It comes just hours after MailOnline revealed that the TOWIE star, 32, has split from her Love Island boyfriend Sammy Root after just four months of dating. The pair, who both appear on The Only Way Is Essex, are said to have filmed 'raw and emotional' scenes for the upcoming series, which are due to air later this year. Wasting no time dwelling on heartbreak, Elma jetted off with a bunch of stars to the White Isle with fashion giant Shein. For the Takeover event at the celebrity hot spot, she made sure to show Sammy, 24, what he's missing as she donned a skimpy baby pink bikini that flaunted her enviable figure. The reality star paired it with a matching sheer mesh skirt and added inches to her slender frame with a pair of gold wedges. Meanwhile, Chloe, 29, brought the heat in a black bikini adorned with gold hardware and mesh skirt. Liberty, 25, wowed in a baby pink floral three-piece ensemble as she showed off her stunning curves. Also at the sun-soaked event were fellow Love Island stars Danica Taylor, Kaz Crossley, and Samantha Kenny. Elma and Sammy, who reached the ITV2 final in February, recently ended their romance, leaving just one relationship formed on the latest All Stars still going strong. MailOnline understands that Sammy and Elma ended their four-month relationship over rows which took place in Portugal during filming of the latest TOWIE series. Their flirtation began on the ITVBe show but Elma insisted ahead of returning to Love Island in January that a romance between her and Sammy would be off the cards after she admitted to falling into the 'habit of going back to the same people.' Despite their eight-year age difference, the couple reconnected on All Stars and reached the final, missing out on the £50,000 prize fund to Gabby Allen and Casey O'Gorman, who also split earlier this year. Following recent breakups from Harriett Blackmore and Ronnie Vint, as well as Ekin-Su and Curtis Pritchard, the last remaining couple from this year's All Stars series is Grace Jackson and Luca Bish. Meanwhile, Chloe, 29, brought the heat in a black bikini adorned with gold hardware and mesh skirt A source close to the couple told MailOnline: 'Sammy and Elma have called it quits. 'They split during filming of TOWIE's latest series in Portugal and the breakdown of their relationship has been captured for the show. 'It was always a gamble, particularly on Elma's part, to pursue their romance especially even their age difference. 'Sadly, everything has now fallen apart and they're not even on speaking terms.' A TOWIE insider added: 'It's not been a straightforward split between Elma and Sammy. 'Viewers will see how they navigate their feelings, as they discuss their issues to see whether they can make their relationship work going forward. 'They have a strong connection with each other and nobody really knows what will happen with them over the coming weeks. Throughout the series, which is currently being filmed, their story features some of the rawest and emotional reality TV ever shot for TOWIE.' Sammy previously won Love Island with ex-girlfriend Jess Harding in 2023 but their relationship didn't last long. MailOnline has contacted Elma and Sammy's representatives for comment. It was reported that Jess would confront Sammy on this year's All Stars series, but she pulled out of her appearance after meeting someone new. Elma is currently enjoying time away in Ibiza with fast fashion brand Shein while Sammy shared Instagram stories from Ireland. The Essex star first appeared on series five of Love Island in 2019, strutting into the villa as a bombshell alongside Maura Higgins. She was unsuccessful in finding love during her first villa stint but fell for Sammy during the All Stars series. Elma isn't a stranger to having her relationships play out on TOWIE after previously romancing co-star James Diags Bennewith. She told MailOnline ahead of All Stars: 'I do feel ready for a committed relationship; I want a fella. I want to be with someone. To do Love Island again the second time round especially five years later now I'm so much older, to go in there with no actual real want to meet someone is very stupid and embarrassing. 'I know I want to go in there and meet someone. I am very open.'
