Salsa on the Dawn

[ennjay]

Salsa is listed as both a bar and a restaurant. I know you need reservations for eating at the restaurant, but are you able to just go hang out and drink (and possibly eat?) in the bar area (without reservations)?

Sure - it is a smoke free bar, not real large, and they serve tapis.

What is tapis?

What is tapis?

Tapas are Spanish appetizers, with a wide variety of ingredients. They're great as accompaniments with drinks, or you can order a bunch and make them into a full meal.

What is tapas?

 

Think snack food - cheese, olives, humus, roasted garlic, salads, never the same.

[tekmom]

Thanks! Sounds great!

[CruisinMK]

It is great, I loved that place. especially the tapas

[Cosmopolitan]

IMHO, the tapas are better than the entrees;)

[CruisinMK]

yup...

Is Salsa open during the day? Late afternoon snack and drinks?

On our cruise (2006), Salsa's bar didn't open until 5 or 5:30 PM. This may have changed. Of course the whole area is "open" that is, you can go and sit and listen to the music from the atrium. Salsa is a great place to meet up with friends for a before dinner drink (and of course, lots of tapas). As for the tapas- the offerings do change each day. (Which gives you an excuse to go back each day.)

 

When people ask about the difference between the Dawn and the Spirit- I always remember how I missed not having a "Salsa-type" bar area on the Spirit. And the Sun has a wonderful Tapas bar (Las Ramblas?) on the top deck, aft. More reasons to cruise often and try different ships!

Salsa.s was the one thng I missed on the Spirit too. Looking forward to stopping by on the Dawn.

The bar at Salsa's has great margharitas too. DH and I had a very nice time, stopping by the Salsa's bar for margharitas and tapas.
