Food on Mercury

Reviews are mostly good to excellent, but I just say that I have never been disappointed in the quality or quantity of food offered on a cruise! There is an "Always Available" menu selection for dinner in the main dining room: Appetizers include Chilled Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail, Escargot a la Bourguignonne, Celebrity Antipasti Platter. Soups and Salads: Baked French Onion Soup, Creamy Lobster Bisque, Caprese Salad, Classic Caesar Salad. Entrees: Broiled Atlantic Salmon, Herb Marinated Grilled Chicken Breast, Grilled New York Sirloin Steak. Sides: Baby Peas, Steamed Green Beans, Broccoli, Rice Pilaf, Mashed Potatoes, or Loaded Baked Potato. Desserts: New York Cheesecake, Apple Pie A la Mode, Creme Brulee.

Any of the above would make me smile (with the exception of escargot!)

The Cova Cafe is a wonderful spot for morning pastries (no charge) and specialty coffees (surcharge)... the almond croissants get rave reviews!

The Manhattan Restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and does not disappoint. As stated above, an always available selection is on the dinner menu. Breakfast & lunch are open seating. Dinner is traditional main or late or "Select" (which is anytime).

As for the buffets, the stir fry gets good reviews at the lunch buffet and the Waffle and Eggs stations (benedict, omelettes, made to order) are also popular. For more casual dining, check out Playa Grille where you will find yummy french fries and burgers. Nearby is the Pizza and Pasta Bar (try the calzone)! I don't think we will go hungry!
