Cruise line introducing sushi at sea
Add take-out sushi to the list of the things you can get on a cruise ship.
Cruise giant Royal Caribbean this month has begun adding sushi-to-go carts on several of its ships with the concept scheduled to debut on more vessels.
Dubbed Izumi Express, the offering is an offshoot of the Izumi sushi restaurants that are on a number of Royal Caribbean vessels.
The new sushi carts are selling packages of sushi rolls at a cost of $7 to $9 along with a selection of Japanese beers. Among the sushi options are a shrimp crunchy roll and a spicy salmon roll, both for $8.
Royal Caribbean tested the Izumi Express concept earlier this year on the 3634-passenger Freedom of the Seas and this month is adding it to four more vessels: Independence of the Seas, Empress of the Seas, Majesty of the Seas and Liberty of the Seas.
Two more vessels, Adventure of the Seas and Enchantment of the Seas will get the carts in August, according to a spokesperson for the line.
Royal Caribbean says the carts will be located in the Promenade areas of ships, for the most part. Some vessels may place them on pool decks. Operating hours on sea days will be from 11:30 am to 3:00 pm and from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm Operating hours on port days will depend on sailing times.
