G’day everyone! Join us for a new “cruise vlog” as we experience specialty “cruise dining” at Izumi on “Voyager of the Seas”. We sample delicious “japanese food”, including “ramen” and “sushi”, offering our honest “food review” of the experience. Come along as we explore the dining atmosphere and share our thoughts on this Royal Caribbean offering.

We’re kicking off a brand-new Specialty Dining Sideline Series filmed across multiple sailings on Voyager of the Seas, starting with Izumi 🍣🍜

In this video, we bring you an honest, unfiltered review of Izumi at both Dinner and Lunch, because these experiences are very different — and the value absolutely matters.

From first impressions and service issues, to miso soup, gyoza, sushi starters, and a few moments that had us saying “FAIL FAIL FAIL”, we share exactly what went right, what went wrong, and whether Izumi is worth your money on Voyager of the Seas.

We then return for Izumi Lunch, break down the menu, review the mains, and compare the overall experience so you can decide:
👉 Is Izumi better at lunch or dinner?
👉 Is it worth paying extra?
👉 Or should you save your specialty dining budget for another restaurant?

This video is part of a 3-video Voyager of the Seas Specialty Dining Series, covering:
🥢Izumi
🍝Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen
🥩Chops Grille

If you’re planning a Royal Caribbean cruise and wondering where to eat — this series is for you.
