Buffets, Bistros, and The Luxury of In-Room Dining on Crystal

Our third day of Crystal Cruises dining is an exploration of the buffets, a charming bistro, and in-room dining.

Lido Cafe

This is a buffet-style, indoor/outdoor venue for breakfast and lunch. Breakfast includes made-to-order omelets, waffles and pancakes to your liking, in addition to a large selection of other breakfast favorites. Lunch offers made-to-order pastas and salads, a delicious selection of our famous soups, carved meats, fresh catches of the day and a tempting array of sumptuous desserts, including sugar-free options.

The Bistro

This popular European-style coffee bar and café is a favorite meeting place open every day from 9am to 11pm. Complimentary espresso, caffe latte, cappuccino and specialty teas are served in our comfortable café, graced by the whimsical paintings of celebrated artist Guy Buffet.

Wines and champagne by the glass are also available. Light snacks are served throughout the day, ranging from fresh pastries and fruit in the morning to a selection of international chesses, charcuterie, pastries, and other delicacies in the afternoon and into the late evening.

Trident Grill & Ice Cream Bar

The Trident Grill offers classic hamburgers, cheeseburgers, veggie burgers, chicken burgers, hot dogs and tuna melts. There are also wrap sandwiches and gourmet pizzas (available at Tastes on Crystal Serenity). A Late-Risers Breakfast is available around the Neptune Pool (Crystal Serenity). The Ice Cream Bar features a wide variety of Ben & Jerry’s ice creams, plus, nonfat frozen yogurt and sherbets, with tempting toppings, and fresh baked cookies.

In-room Dining

From breakfast in bed to dinner on your verandah, Crystal’s complimentary 24-hour in-stateroom dining is a true indulgence. At sea or in port, you may enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner in the sumptuous comfort of your own room, served with the same precision and attention to detail so graciously displayed in every restaurant. During lunch and dinner hours, you are welcome to order the same selections offered in the Crystal Dining Room, served course by course, if you so desire. And if you’re traveling in a Penthouse, you may also enjoy the additional privilege of ordering from our specialty restaurants during dinner hours. Offered 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Themed Deck Buffets

With some of the most exotic destinations and stunning coastlines in the world as a backdrop, lavishly arranged luncheon buffets take place on deck on select days at sea. Imagine cruising the Italian Riviera as you dine on the Mediterranean-themed Cuisines of the Sun, or the coast of New England as you enjoy the bounty of American Classic cuisine. Think Nuevo Latino celebrating the fiery gastronomy of South America, or an Asian Café showcasing flavors of the Pacific Rim. Regardless of where you travel, these events are always much more than a meal-they are true destination events.
