cowboygene Posted September 18, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Just off the Allure and often walked the boardwalk at different times. Never saw more that two tables occupied at any one time. RCCL should change the venue to something more popular and affordable. Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted September 18, 2017 #4 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Totally agree!! IMHO on Radiance class Rita's is a huge mistake! Mostly I see pax using the seats as an overflow for the WJ. Need to turn it back into outside seating for the WJ and do away with the waste of yet another unused "pay to eat" venue.

The door was always open and did not realize it was a paid restaurant on Serenade. They never said anything to us as we had the drink package and used the bar in there a lot as it was never busy.:halo: Never saw anyone order from there on an 11 night cruise at least during lunch.

kgm0612 Posted September 18, 2017 #8 Share Posted September 18, 2017 No Rita's on Radiance last month and no word as to what was going to take its place. Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCCL should change the venue to something more popular and affordable. Just my two cents. Sabor (formerly Rita's) recently switched from a la carte pricing to a per-person cover charge. But even when a la carte there were rarely more than 3-4 tables. Too bad they wont to an included restaurant a la Carnival. Wouldn't be difficult to increase everyone's fare 2-5 per person to cover the cost of the "free" food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a good burger late at night for us night owls would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, that is what we noticed also. One of those "oops...mistake" pay to eat restaurant blunders. I still miss Sea View Cafe back there just overhead.

Clarea Posted September 19, 2017 #14 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I thought Allure had Sabor? Allure has both Sabor and Samba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRudy33 Posted September 19, 2017 #15 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I must be in the minority, but we loved the food at Sabor on the Allure, plus the margaritas were great. We also enjoyed the staff there. In fact one day, while eating breakfast at Johnny Rockets, one of the waiters saw us from across the boardwalk and walked over and helped serve us breakfast.

I believe the OP was talking about Rita's Cantina. Quite different than Sabor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite different than Sabor. islandlady you are correct, there is a big difference between the two. The issue is that the Rita's on Allure hasn't been since here dry dock over 2 years ago. It is actually Sabor. That is where and why there is confusion in this thread. People are chiming about in about Radiance on this thread as it was the only ship left that had a Rita's. When in Alaska it turned into Rita's Crab Shack. This Alaskan cruise season it has closed on Radiance and has turned into extra seating and I have read reports of then serving craft Alaskan Beer from the bar. As of last week it still showed Rita's on RC deck plans of Radiance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was indeed a smart move...thanks for the update! :) On Radiance Alaska last year, I noticed Rita's was still there but very unused except for unintended overflow seating for the WJ.

Durkman Posted October 2, 2017 #24 Share Posted October 2, 2017 We (my wife, two teen boys and myself) are just off Serenade -- our 2nd time on Serenade within the last 14 months -- and went to Rita's because we didn't try it on our last cruise. We won't be disappointed if it goes away when the ship goes into drydock. We showed up around 7:45 pm midweek (Thursday night I think) and there was only one other group there. We got one basket of chips to start, and ordered a guacamole/chips appetizer that came with 4 chips stuck in it, with no more available. They ran out of chips! I mean seriously, how can you call yourself a Tex-Mex restaurant and not be able to provide chips? We ended up having to use the guacamole in our meals in order to finish what we ordered. Also, I was on the deluxe drink package and was charged for at least one of my margaritas -- which I of course did not notice until the last day because you no longer get interim statements and the TV-based invoice system was not functioning.

cruisinfromtampa Posted October 2, 2017 #25 Share Posted October 2, 2017 What is that area on Brilliance? Cruising over Thanksgiving. Thanks:D If I remember correctly, it is really not much more than a bar. They have specialty margaritas available, and possibly some snacks, but I cannot remember anything else. There are some tables, but I don't believe they were roped off. I also was there just for a cocktail, so I wasn't paying attention... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
