Key Takeaways:

• Shaq’s Big Chicken sits near the back and serves breakfast sandwiches, chicken tenders and sandwiches.
• Pro tip: try the hot pickles on your sandwich at the Big Chicken topping bar.
• The Lido Marketplace buffet features multiple scattered stations, tons of seating and a self-service beer station.
• The RedFrog Tiki Bar spans two levels, with level one on Deck 16 and level two up on Deck 17.
• BlueIguana Cantina serves up tacos and breakfast burritos right by the pool.
• Street Eats offers quick stalls like Time Fries, Steamed and Mad Sizzle, plus seafood and wings.
• Most Street Eats food items are free, but they do charge extra for seafood and wings.
Good to Know:
On sea days, Deck 16 is definitely the place to be. You’ll find live DJs, entertainment like Groove for St. Jude, and lots of sun loungers around the main pool area. If you want a quieter stroll or easy seating, heading up here while the ship is docked in port gives you plenty of breathing room.
Grabbing a bite is super convenient since you don’t even have to leave the pool deck. Between Shaq’s Big Chicken, BlueIguana Cantina, the buffet and the Street Eats stalls, you’ve got plenty of variety for breakfast and lunch. Just keep in mind that while most food stations are complimentary, items from Seafood Shack and the wings come with an added charge.
