Royal Caribbean opens Worlds first Kung Fu Panda noodle shop on the sea

Royal Caribbean International and DreamWorks Animation has partnered together to start first Kung Fu Panda Noodle Shop, a new family style eatery on board Quantum of the Seas and the first-ever DreamWorks Animation Kung Fu Panda themed restaurant on land or at sea.

The customers will be able to give their taste buds a “Kung Fu” kick with the bold flavors of dim sum delights, savory noodle bowls and traditional Chinese desserts alongside Po and the cast of colorful characters from the DreamWorks Animation film Kung Fu Panda.

"With the first-ever Kung Fu Panda-themed restaurant on the Quantum of the Seas, Royal Caribbean International has raised the bar yet again for the cruising industry and also for the global food and dining space. The innovation in collaboration with DreamWorks Animation is a clear demonstration of the cruise brand’s commitment to offering the most enthralling and novel experiences to guests. The popular characters of Kung Fu Panda and the deliciously indulgent Chinese menu of the restaurant are sure to give further impetus to travellers to explore the unrivalled on-board attractions of this stellar vesse,” shared Ratna Chadha, Chief Executive of TIRUN Travel Marketing.

Following a 53-night global odyssey from New York to Shanghai, Quantum of the Seas set sail for the first time from her new homeport of Shanghai, China on June 25, 2015.

She will sail three- to eight- night itineraries year-round from Shanghai to Japan and Korea.

The newest addition on board, the Kung Fu Panda Noodle Shop will entice guests to indulge in four-piece dim sum, noodle bowls, such as Taiwanese spicy beef noodles, and desserts including sesame balls and custard tart.

Guests also can strike a pose with Po and the Furious Five for a keepsake picture sure to reveal their inner Dragon Warrior. Menu items are priced a la carte, ranging from $2 to $5.

The DreamWorks Experience, available only on Royal Caribbean, allows guests to get up close and personal with their favorite feature-film characters such as Shrek, Fiona and Puss In Boots of Shrek; Alex the Lion and the Penguins of Madagascar; Po of Kung Fu Panda; and Hiccup of How to Train Your Dragon.
