Welcome to this week's round-up of all the Royal Caribbean news and happenings.  Hope you are staying warm and are ready to cozy up to the cruise happenings this week.

Royal Caribbean revealed the new main dining room menus this week.

Symphony of the Seas is the first ship to roll out the new menus, which will eventually make it fleetwide by the end of the month.

The new menus have a new layout, with a distinct theme for each evening.  In addition, there's no longer a subset of menu selections that stays the same every night.

This is Royal Caribbean's first refresh of the dining room menu in over five years, which offers guests new choices alongside fan-favorites that remain on select evenings.
