First look at Portside BBQ menu and prices on Oasis of the Seas

18 Nov 2019

Royal Caribbean has added Portside BBQ, a new barbecue specialty restaurant, on Oasis of the Seas, and we have a first look at the menu.

Portside BBQ will be the cruise line’s first barbecue concept, and will be priced a la carte. Choose from a meat-packed menu of tender brisket, pulled pork, chicken, beef ribs, burnt ends and even turkey legs. In addition, there's sides like homestyle cornbread and irresistible mac & cheese.

 

There are three menus: lunch, dinner and late-night.

One interesting note about the menu, is the food offered is cooked in limited quantities, so there could be some items that sell out on a given day.

Portside BBQ is on Oasis of the Seas as of November 2019, and will be added to Allure of the Seas in May 2020.

Royal Caribbean has released a brand new video today that offers a behind-the-scenes look at Royal Caribbean's largest amplification to date.

Currently undergoing a major, $165 million transformation, Oasis of the Seas will soon emerge from her upgrades to offer guests a new level of fun at sea.

From the tallest slide at sea, The Ultimate Abyss, to the cruise line’s first barbecue restaurant – Portside BBQ – and the Ultimate Panoramic suites with 200-degree, floor-to-ceiling views, the original gamechanger that revolutionized the industry marks its 10-year anniversary in a big way.

The amplified Oasis will debut her new look in November 2019 to begin 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises from Miami, FL before heading to the Big Apple in May 2020 as the largest ship to ever sail from the Northeast.
