Royal Caribbean Vitality Café Review 2025: Spa-Side Sips & Light Bites That Actually Satisfy
Introduction
Vitality Café is the ship’s wellness pit stop — smoothies, juices, and light bites served right by the gym and spa. It’s an easy win for mindful mornings or a post-workout refuel, with most items covered under the Refreshment or Deluxe beverage packages and fair à la carte pricing for everyone else.
Food & Drinks
Standouts included the Immune Booster (orange, ginger, turmeric, lemon) for a bright, citrusy kick, and the Protein-Licious shake (banana, PB, chocolate, whey) — thick without the chalk. Housemade granola over Greek yogurt added crunch without being overly sweet. Portions skew light by design; think fuel, not a full meal.
Service
Baristas were quick and clued-in on tweaks (plant milk, low-sugar, extra espresso). Lines formed 7–9 AM but moved fast; most orders landed in under five minutes. A few popular add-ins sold out late day on sea days.
Atmosphere
Spa-adjacent calm with natural light and a steady hum from the fitness center — a relaxed spot for a quiet reset compared with busier venues.
Conclusion
For wellness-leaning cruisers, Vitality Café is a reliable, feel-good stop: customizable drinks, fair value (or included), and a soothing setting. Rating: 4.2/5. Best used as your morning ritual or post-gym refuel; pair it with a Refreshment Package for easy daily sips.
