My dessert at Cucina. Tiramisu ♥️ DH had chocolate melting cake this night ( and  every night) since they even offered main dining room entrees and desserts at the specialty restaurants - loved this option

This was my lunch at Cucina on one of the sea days. Pasta with Alfredo sauce and all the veggies….it was very very good and I wish I had ordered a full order …this was a half order

Farro salad and a pic to show how big this Cucina is- this was just one little corner of the restaurant…it was huge!

Pistachio Farfalle so good!

….and the food was delicious…this is arancini appetizer.

We really loved Cucina del Capitano on this ship❣️ We have never eaten there for dinner on any of our other cruises ( lunch a couple times, but never dinner) but this week we had dinner there twice. 
The service and atmosphere here were both excellent.

What are the breakfast options for the days in port. Many of the excursions leave before 0800.

We didn’t have to depart the ship before 9 am on any of our port days so I’m sorry I can’t answer that! 

Black and White bread pudding excellent.

What we didn’t care for about Rudi was the ambiance. It was noisy and crowded and the tables were all too close together. The venue size did not support the amount of diners and it just didn’t leave us feeling like it was specialty dining. The free dining venues of Chibang and Cucina were more enjoyable and felt more special. Weird.

Crab stuffed lobster tail very good ( there were two, but I gave one to DH because his surf and turf was SO tiny

Scallop app was also wonderful.

Cioppiano appetizer was fantastic ❣️

Crab rosette bonus starter

Dinner at Rudi Sea Grill was a mixed bag

Even pig and anchor all decked out♥️

Center stage . Always impressive.

Just walking around the ship at night is a joy. The Xmas decorations and the lighting was beautiful.

Another cute idea outside cucina ♥️

Tiramisu for dessert

It’s a big restaurant ❣️
