 Onboard Dining
Food Glorious Food! No diving vacation would be complete without generous fine dining
between your diving. Of course your Nekton cruise includes plenty of gourmet dining
with lots of variety.
Meals are served in a combination of buffet and sit down -- after helping yourself
at the buffet, crew will offer you drinks, wait on you for second helpings, and
offer dessert and coffee. We always have regular and decaffeinated coffee brewed
and offer plenty of iced tea, water and juices including grape, orange, cranberry,
apple as well as Crystal Light and Gatorade.
Popcorn is also available for late night snacks. The following menu is subject to
seasonal variations and changes but is representative of the fine dining you
can expect to enjoy during your cruise.

Bar Service and Carbonated Beverages
|
|
Nekton does not offer bar service or carbonated beverages
but you are welcome to bring your own (a better value for you). In fact, we have
a special cooler for guest to store beer, wine, and soft drinks - and there is no
corking fee. On arrival day, our shuttle service makes a stop at a local liquor
store en-route to the boat so you can stock up if you desire. Just keep in mind
that your first alcohol drink of the day means you've had your last dive of the
day. |
