Independence of the Seas

Restaurants

Triple-deck-high formal dining rooms serve open-seating breakfast and lunch; dinner is served in two evening assigned seatings or open seating My Timing Dining. For a more upscale dinner, two specialty restaurants—Portofino, serving Italian fare, and Chops Grille, a steak house—both charge a supplement and require reservations. The casual Lido buffet offers service nearly around the clock for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Jade, a section in the buffet, serves Asian food. Johnny Rockets is a popular option for casual meals, though it has a separate charge. In the promenade are a pizzeria, coffee bar, and Ben & Jerry's ice cream, which charges for frozen treats. A complimentary ice-cream bar is poolside, as is a juice bar, which charges by the item. Room service is available 24 hours; however, there is a delivery charge after midnight.
