Day 6 of our Southern Caribbean Cruise on Symphony of the Seas was a sea day and realizing the cruise was quickly winding down we had a few more spots on the ship to tick off our list before the highly anticipated lobster night on a cruise.

Raw on 5 Celebrity Ascent
What is raw on 5?
Raw on 5 is an upscale, seafood-focused specialty dining restaurant on Celebrity Cruises.
The name "Raw on 5" comes from its location on Deck 5 of the ship, and the "raw" part refers to its sushi bar and raw seafood offerings like oysters, sashimi, and specialty rolls, if those are your jam. The concept is pretty chic, offering a variety of high-quality dishes, like nigiri, sushi rolls, and ceviches, all prepared fresh. |

Sushi Chef at work Raw on 5 on Celebrity Ascent
If you're a seafood lover looking to indulge in some elegant and creative dining at sea, Raw on 5 is for you!
But what if you're not into slimy oysters, raw fish on rice, or seafood in general? Don't worry! You can find hot plates sans seafood like Tonkotsu Ramen, Pork Belly Skewers, and Chicken Ginger Gyoza at Raw on 5.
If you're vegetarian, Edamame and Miso Soup await you! :)
Which Ships have Raw on 5?
Raw on 5 is available on Celebrity Edge Class Ships including Celebrity Edge, Celebrity Apex, Celebrity Ascent, and Celebrity Beyond.
Does Celebrity Xcel have Raw on 5? Great question! Celebrity Xcel will soon join the fleet of Edge Class Ships and while we can assume it will, hang tight for official word. ;)

How much does Raw on 5 cost?
While some Specialty Dining restaurants have a cover charge which allows you to order anything from the menu, others are a la carte style. (Remember our Le Grand Bistro Review?)
Raw on 5 is a la carte style. This means you order off the menu like any restaurant you are used to on land and pay the price per item.
This can make specialty dining more approachable as you may only want one specific item for $15 and wouldn't find a cover charge of $50 to be worth it.

This can make specialty dining more approachable as you may only want one specific item for $15 and wouldn't find a cover charge of $50 to be worth it.
On the other hand, some prefer a flat-fee cover charge as they feel more confident to step out of their comfort zone when ordering resting assured they can always add an order of something more "safe" if they don't like their adventurous choice.

Rolls & Nigiri - Celebrity Raw on 5 Menu
|
Okay so most of us are probably excited about sushi when we think of dining at Raw on 5.
How much is the sushi? With $10 to $16 you can enjoy the classic California Roll elevated with Snow Crab (que fancy!) instead of imitation crab, the Beyond Roll featuring Spicy Tuna and Shrimp Tempura, or even some Nigiri!
Wait. What is Nigiri?
Nigiri is a cute little mound of rice with a slice of raw fish atop. See your sushi emoji's for a visual. ;) I'm looking at these sushi menu options and there literally is not a single item I would not love to try! How fun would it be to waltz in and say "I'll take one of each!" Gifts for your sushi loving friends: |
Raw & Barely Dressed - CELEBRITY RAW ON 5 MENU
With the likes of Sashimi, Oysters, and Tiradito, the Raw and Barely Dressed menu is not for the faint of heart.
|
What is Sashimi?
Sashimi is like Nigiri without rice. So basically a slice of high quality raw fish. What is Hamachi Tiradito? This is an interesting Peruvian dish which highlights Japanese influence in Peru. Hamachi is yellowtail tuna. Tiradito is made with sliced raw fish (in this case yellowtail tuna), sashimi style, and dressed in a spicy citrus outfit.
Is Tiradito the same as Ceviche?
Not quite. Ceviche is made of cubed raw fish or other seafood which is marinated in citrus that essentially cures it. On the other hand tiradito is made of slices of raw fish and is dressed in citrus just before serving so it remains totally raw, uncured, bright and fresh. I'd say Tiradito and Ceviche are cousins. |
Beautiful Ahi Tuna Sashimi at Raw on 5 - Photo Celebrity Cruises
What is Kakiage? It's a tempura Japanese dish. So on Celebrity Beyond you can have shrimp and scallop dipped in tempura batter and deep fried if you order the Shrimp and Scallop Kakiage. That sounds delicious!
What is Furikake? The Crispy Shrimp are seasoned with Furikake, a Japanese seasoning that is crunchy, salty, and a bit nutty/earthy. It usually includes dried fish, seaweed, salt and sugar. Furikake apparently means sprinkle in Japanese, as in "to sprinkle", but the seasoning is on the chunky side and really looks like savory sprinkles!

Hot Plates + Land "Meats" Sea - CELEBRITY RAW ON 5 MENU
|
If you like seafood but just don't really want to do the raw thing, check out the hot plates menu.
What is Kushikatsu? It's deep-fried skewered meat and vegetables - yum!
Pork Belly Skewers - *insert heart eyes emoji* Tonkotsu Ramen - happy tears! What is Tonkotsu? Tonkotsu is a super delicious, rich broth made from pork bones. After simmering for a long time the broth becomes creamy and it's the ultimate umami comfort food. Love it so much! It originated in Fukuoka, Japan and sometime I'll share some pics of a quick trip we took to Fukuoka! |
If all these options intimidate you, just order the Chicken Teriyaki or Ribeye Medallions - you won't miss!

Cocktails & Champagne - CELEBRITY RAW ON 5 MENU
|
The cocktails at Raw on 5 are all crafted on a base of Pure Snow Sake.
What is Sake? Sake is Japanese rice wine. I've only ever had sake on its own (always served in an adorable tiny cup) so I am really intrigued by these cocktails. Here's the order I would try them in:
|
Wine List - CELEBRITY RAW ON 5 MENU

Wines by the glass range from $10 all the way up to $35 for Caymus out of Napa Valley, California.

Coffee and Dessert Wines - CELEBRITY RAW ON 5 MENU

A bit suprised there are no matcha teas or matcha lattes on the dessert beverage list at Raw on 5.
You basically have the standard espresso and latte options along with some late harvest wines including a Canadian ice wine. 
Mocha on Celebrity Ascent
|
Are cocktails at raw on 5 included in the beverage package?
|
This is a good question and the answer is yes! But also no. Err.. Sort of.. Probably, maybe, it depends. :p
Really it depends which drink package you have. If you have the Classic Drink Package, everything is included up to $10 per drink. If you have the Premium Drink Package, everything is included up to $17 per drink. Cocktails at Raw on 5 run $12-15. So they are included if you have the premium drink package, but if you have the classic drink package you will need to pay the difference between $10 and the cocktail price. So each drink will cost you an additional $2-5. With the Classic package you could enjoy glasses of Snow Maiden Sake ($10), Le Bel Oliver Rosé ($10) or Corte Giara Pinot Grigio ($10) for 'free'. Also feel free to order your favorite classics off menu. |
|
Desserts - CELEBRITY RAW ON 5 MENU
|
Things you're probably wondering about on the Dessert Menu at Raw on 5:
What is Yuzu? Yuzu is not the same as a lemon, but it very much looks like a lemon and is a highly fragrant citrus fruit! What is Nori? Nori is dried, edible seaweed. You may be familiar with its use in sushi rolls. Nori is loaded with vitamins and minerals! What is Lychee? Ooo Lychee is such a yummy fruit! They look so exotic on the outside with their bumpy red skin, and inside they are sweet and juicy. They always remind me of a cross between a skinless grape and a pear. What is red bean paste? A lot of asian cultures use red bean paste in their desserts, especially Japan. Made by boiling red beans and mashing them until smooth, the paste can then be sweetened or left as is. |

Celebrity's Raw on 5 Review
After doing a deep dive into the menus, I am really impressed with the offerings at Raw on 5. I think Celebrity has done a great job sharing some dishes that adventurous foodie passengers would find exotic and unique while still providing a number of options for their less daring travel buddies! ;)
I'm looking forward to trying Raw on 5 on my next Celebrity Cruise.

If you have never had a Mango Lassi before, what are you waiting for?! Lidl is carrying ready to drink Lassis in two flavors - Mango and Pineapple-Coconut.
Shown above: Vitasia Indian Style Lassi Manga + Vitasia Indian Style Lassi Piña/Ananás & Coco
Learn Portuguese
Mango in Portuguese is manga
Pineapple in Portuguese is ananás or abacaxi. Piña is Spanish for pineapple lol.
Coconut in Portuguese is Coco.

When you peel back the foil lid of the lassi containers you reveal a plastic seal with an opening to drink out of! This design worked great!
To recycle this package you remove the outer cardboard layer which is the label of this product and put it in the blue recycling bin, then you can put the plastic cup along with the foil lid in the yellow recycling bin which is for plastic and metal. :)

Vitasia Indian Style Lassi Review
We loved these Lassis! The flavor and texture were great on both, nice and creamy, and if you have never had a lassi before and don't plan to visit an Indian restaurant to order one, I think these are a solid introduction. Mango Lassi is very traditional and we did prefer it over the pineapple coconut edition.
| Still, if you love Piña coladas you'll love the pineapple-coconut lassi too! The coconut flavor is prominent so you must love coconut to enjoy this beverage. Lassis are a yogurt based beverage popular in India so if you're feeling exotic why not swing by your local Lidl and see if you can still nab one of these delights?! |  Mango Lassi with Salmon Salad |
COST: .99 EURO
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
WOULD YOU TRY a lassi?
DO YOU THINK THEY WERE A GOOD VALUE?
These lassi beverages were purchased at Lidl, a grocery store in Portugal. If you're looking for information on current Cost of Living in Portugal and opinions of Americans in Portugal, check out these posts:

Before sailing on our favorite cruise ship yet, we found ourselves with a few days in Miami.
Miami isn't necessarily the cheapest city to eat in when you're on a shoestring budget so we made great use of TooGoodToGo and Happy Hour Menus to enjoy some of the culinary offerings without completely breaking the bank. Enter El Primo.

El Primo Red Taco in Miami
El Primo Red Tacos is located at 179 E Flagler St in Miami, Florida. A short walk from where we stayed at the Hyatt Regency.
Check out the Hyatt Regency Miami Review Here
The pick-up window was between 9:30 and 9:45 pm. The restaurant was clearly empty by that point and you can see they offer plenty of seating both inside and outside.
How much is a Margarita in Miami?
Well, at El Primo Red Tacos they are serving $6 margaritas and cerveza (beer) all day, every day!
Well, at El Primo Red Tacos they are serving $6 margaritas and cerveza (beer) all day, every day!
what we got.
We ordered 2x Surprise bags from El Primo Red Tacos at $5.99 each. Each container had 2 tacos, topped with cilantro and a fresh radish slice as well as some tortilla chips, salsa, and a lime wedge.
We were also surprised to receive agua de horchata x 2!
What we Thought.
It had been such a long time since we had tacos period, that I was so happy to eat these tacos! Even after carrying them back to the hotel they were still so tasty.
Small corn tortillas are my favorite and home made tortilla chips can't be beat! The tacos at El Primo Red Tacos are birria and the only problem that I had with them was I wanted more. lol

| The Horchata was unbelievably tasty. Typically made with rice, flavored with cinnamon and sweetened with sugar, this horchata was refreshing and a nice balance to the savory tacos and spicy salsa. To pay $5.99 in Miami for 2 quality tacos, chips and salsa, and a drink was a great deal! I could have easily eaten more, but I was happy for the opportunity to try El Primo Red Tacos at a discount while in town and I wouldn't hesitate to return next time I'm in Miami! |  It's hard to beat eating tacos with this view of Miami from Hyatt Regency |

Cantinho da Villa is a very local Portuguese restaurant in Texugueiras - inland from Albufeira, between Ferreiras and Paderne.
These local spots are just the best because they have classic Portuguese dishes, a lively buzz since everyone in the neighborhood stops by regularly, and you just feel part of the community when you're here.

Portuguese Dish - Bitoque
This plate is a perfect rendition of a classic Portuguese dish - bitoque. You can have beef bitoque or pork bitoque and either way you're getting thin cuts of meat. When prepared properly they are very tender and flavorful.
Comida Portuguesa - A Bitoque Dish Classically Presented
As you can see the dish also comes with rice and French fries.
Why do Portuguese people eat rice and French fries in the same dish? you may ask. Isn't that double carbs? you add.
Well, yes it is. But why do they do it? I suppose because it's delicious! :)
Sweet roasted garlic and a perfectly fried egg top thin slices of tender meat - Bitoque at Cantinho da Villa
The addition of a small, simple salad is common here - green lettuce, sliced onion and tomato, and sometimes cucumbers. Oil (Portuguese olive oil, of course) and vinegar are on the table if you need a dressing.
Please note the lovely pan sauce on this bitoque including whole roasted garlic cloves. This is the mark of a meal made with love.
French Fries, Rice, and a Salad are classic sides in Portuguese Home Cooking
And one of the most beautiful details of this dish is that perfectly fried egg (ovo estrelado) . It takes real skill to get the edges crispy and brown while maintaining a perfectly dippy yolk as shown here. That runny yolk will combine with the pan sauce and add richness to the plain rice. It's so good you'll use your french fries to mop up the leftovers. :)

Burrata Pizza at Forno d'Oro in Lisbon, Portugal

who owns forno d'oro?
Forno d'oro is owned by Tanka Sapkota, who was born in Nepal and brought his passion for Neapolitan pizza to Lisbon. He trained under the Gombero Rosso Master Course and his wood-fired pizzas have ranked him in the top pizzas in the world list multiple times.
Above you can see just a few of the many prestigious awards Forno d'Oro (Golden Oven) has received for their delicious pizzas. They are receiving Fiori di Latte cheese fresh from Italy multiple times per week!
Where did forno d'oro rank in the 2024 top pizza in the world list?
Forno d Oro is the ONLY pizzeria in Portugal to rank on the top pizza in the world list, so it's quite an accomplishment! For 2024 they ranked 73rd in the world and the 12th best pizzeria in Europe.
Parabéns! (congratulations in Portuguese)

4 Formaggi - €13.95
San Marzano tomatoes DOP, fior di latte, Gorgonzola, smoked Provola cheese and Parmigiano Reggiano DOP 24 mesi.
We were with some dear friends who were moving away and we all decided that in order to mark the occasion properly there was another pizza we just had to try and we could only do it if we worked together as a team lol.
Burrata, prosciutto e Rucola - €15.50
This pizza was so unbelievably delicious and a perfect example of how it takes just a few high quality ingredients to make a dish really shine!
Light and fresh yet highly engaging - we were surprised that this was our favorite pizza of the night! Good thing we ordered it at the last second, right?! ;)
It may even top the fig, prosciutto, and gorgonzola pizza.
We'll probably have to visit another time to know for sure, though. ;)

Forno d'Oro Review
We love Forno d'Oro! When you have such a great experience at a restaurant the first time that you want to bring your friends who are also pizza lovers you know it's the real deal.
Still, there is a smidge of apprehension that a second visit to a place won't be as good as the first, you know what I mean?
As you can tell from our photo review, forno d'oro is living up to our expectations and we won't hesitate to come back and bring more friends the next time we are in Lisbon!
Highly recommend you stop in for some amazing Neapolitan pizza in Lisbon!

Laspada's Hoagies Fort Lauderdale, Florida
|
Located just a half mile (aka a pleasant 10-15 minute stroll) from our cruise port hotel, Laspada's made up for the disappointing pizza we had the night before. Their first hoagie shop opened in 1972 and has expanded to 5 locations in Southern Florida, Laspada's is worth your visit as far as we are concerned! |
Laspadas - A local hoagie shop in south florida
Loved by travelers and locals alike, this is a classic hoagie shop where you are welcome to dine in or take out. Located at 1495-D SE 17th St Fort Lauderdale, FL 33431.
Laspada's Hoagie Menu with prices
In addition to small and large hoagies you can also order deli sandwiches which are smaller and served on a round roll, as well as a variety of side salads and salad platters.
What's on an original hoagie at Laspadas? Tomatoes, lettuce, onions, pickles, sweet peppers, hot peppers, oil and vinegar and seasonings on Italian or wheat bread, and provolone cheese. Sounds perfect, doesn't it?
Laspada's also sells a variety of chips which are an ideal crunchy, salty companion to your delicious hoagie!
what we ordered.
For the two of us, we ordered one large hoagie, a can of pop (soda), and a bag of kettle chips.
Total with tax: $17.50
Dr Brown's Natural Flavor Black Cherry Soda - $1.75
Dr Browns Black Cherry Soda With "Other Natural Flavors" Ingredients: Carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, cherry and other natural flavors, citric acid, caramel color, sodium benzoate, and red 40. Gah. not red 40...
Dr Browns Black Cherry Soda Ingredients
Dirty Potato Chips Deli Style Salt and Vinegar Kettle style - $1.70
If you want to see the ingredients on these Salt and Vinegar Kettle Chips from Dirty you can see the photo below!
LArge 12" Italian Hoagie - $12.90
Now on to the star of the show! We ordered a Large 12" Italian Special Hoagie - Ham, Genoa, Salami, & Cappicola.
This hoagie was loaded! The cross section is a thing of beauty - carefully constructed, strategically placed layers of freshly sliced Italian meats and toppings.
Laspada's Hoagies Review
A hoagie may seem like a simple thing. Some bread, "lunch meat" and cheese, maybe a bit of iceberg and a tomato? Forget that nonsense. A real hoagie establishment takes pride in every element from the texture at the bottom of the roll to the pillowy bread to the sliced-to-order Italian meats and fresh toppings - Laspada's knocks it out of the park.
Hoagies Made With Love at Laspadas in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
I mean just look at the care going into dressing and seasoning this hoagie...
It's been months since I ate this hoagie, but I still think about it from time to time. Laspada's is the kind of place I would actually make a point to return to next time I am in Fort Lauderdale for a cruise. ;)

Spice lovers rejoice! Flavorful Indian food in Portugal is widely accessible!
Let's visit Natraj Indian Tandoori Restaurant in Vilamoura.
Let's visit Natraj Indian Tandoori Restaurant in Vilamoura.
What we ordered.
Papadam + Chutneys
Papadam (think of a big cracker in the shape of pizza dough only lighter and crispier), along with small dips are basically the Indian version of bread and butter or oil at the table before your meal. Typically you will have some sort of sweet chutney, a spicy one, and a cooling mint-yogurt variation.
Samosas
A Samosa is a deep fried dough parcel stuffed with a well-spiced mixture of vegetables or meat. In this case we opted for one chicken samosa and one vegetarian samosa. Often the vegetable samosas are more flavorful than their meat-filled counterparts!
Chicken tikka masala
Much like ordering a Margherita Pizza at every new pizza place we try, we always order chicken tikka masala at every new Indian restaurant we try. This was the first time we ever saw such a red sauce!
An Indian flat bread like this garlic and herbed naan is also a must for scooping up tender chicken chunks and mopping up the sauce!
Desserts
For dessert we tried Galub Jamun (indian donuts soaked in sugar syrup - super sweet) and Pistachio Kulfi (a cold dessert flavored with pistachio).
We had also ordered a mango lassi which is a delicious beverage consisting of mango blended with yogurt. I always order a mango lassi at Indian restaurants because the sweet creamy nature of the drink is ideal with the spicy food!

Fratelli Pizza Populare Review
Fratelli's is a great pizza place right by the beach in Ohlos d'Agua. In fact if you sit outside you can enjoy your pizza with a sea view! Their prices are reasonable and the quality of their pizzas is very high.
At Fratellis, they are passionate about serving authentic Neapolitan style pizzas - 24 hour fermentation, 30cm diameter, in the oven for 90 seconds.
Fratelli's serves edible works of art - go check them out!
