While on a recent Royal Caribbean cruise on board the Ovation of the Seas, we got the opportunity to try Izumi. Izumi is a specialty upgrade restaurant found onboard a number of Royal Caribbean ships.  The restaurant has an a la carte menu.  You can also visit the restaurant as part of a dining package, which is what we did.  Since we used a dining package, we were granted $35 per person and anything additional would be charged to our stateroom.<\/p>\n

Once we were seated, we were asked about allergies.  Once we indicated the shellfish allergy in our family, the waiter was a bit shocked.  We asked if it was going to be a problem, and he insisted it wouldn’t be despite the fact that he acted like it was a huge problem.<\/p>\n

We ordered a number of appetizers to start off with.<\/p>\n

We probably went overboard on the appetizers.  We were pretty full once we got our sushi.<\/p>\n

The girls were done after the sushi, but Nancy and I decided to get one of our favorite desserts, Crispy Sesame Balls.<\/p>\n
