Venue Overview (3.75)

The Plaza Bar & Cafe is located in the middle of deck five, between the two Lanai whirlpools, and offers Viennese-style coffee and cakes. It includes a bar area offering a small buffet for breakfast (croissants, marmalade, cereals), and sandwiches for lunch on sea days.

Ocean Plaza has an inside seating area and two outdoor spaces on either side of the ship and a stage. The inside area is decorated with mosaics and blue lights. In the afternoon you can participate in one of the many trivia games, and at night a live band gives it a pleasant lounge-feel.

Breakfast

The breakfast buffet at Ocean Plaza offers croissants, bread, jelly (cherry, apricot, orange), cereals, oatmeal and coffee. It’s just a small buffet and rarely crowded, as most passengers don’t seem to know it’s there. You can get complimentary coffee or purchase a fancier coffee drink at the Plaza bar.

Lunch / Dinner

The Plaza offers lunch only on sea days. It’s a small sandwich station, where you can choose your ingredients, and a cook puts everything together, and heats it up if you wish. There is nothing special about the sandwiches, but it is a good small lunch.

Dessert

The Plaza offers several cakes, like black forest and pound cakes, as well as coffee, cappuccino, latte, espresso, and hot chocolate. All hot beverages cost extra, though the most expensive is only about $2.
