One of Royal Caribbean's most overlooked restaurants just got a major menu update
In:Royal Caribbean revamped its Brazilian steakhouse menu aboard Harmony of the Seas.
Samba Grill was added to the 226,963 gross-ton cruise ship during its Royal Amplification in May 2026. Like other vessels, Samba Grill is located in the Solarium Bistro, with the complimentary by-day buffet being transformed into a specialty restaurant at night.
While it's found on other ships in the Royal Caribbean fleet, the new menu on Harmony of the Seas sets it apart from the restaurants on Allure of the Seas and Radiance of the Seas.
Although most of the offerings are the same, the dessert selection has been enhanced to feature a yummy twist on a classic Brazilian steakhouse staple: grilled pineapple.
The cinnamon sugar pineapple is fire-grilled until caramelized and carved warm at your table, like the curated selection of grilled meats included in the cost of your meal.
Here's a full look at the new Samba Brazilian Steakhouse menu available exclusively on Harmony of the Seas. And don't worry, the all-you-can-eat buffet with starters is still very much part of the experience!

The Samba Grill menu on other ships varies slightly
On Allure of the Seas, for example, the cinnamon sugar grilled pineapple is not listed as a dessert on the mobile app.
Moreover, Radiance of the Seas' menu lists an extra cut of meat, contrafilé con alho, which is described as an "exquisite garlic-marinated striploin [that's] full of flavor." Caramel flan and mango passion fruit mousse are available for dessert, too, while abacaxi com canela, or roasted cinnamon pineapple, is served to finish off the "fantastic rodizio."
At the time of publication, it wasn't clear whether the menus would be updated on Allure and Radiance of the Seas.
Samba Brazilian Grill Cost
According to the Cruise Planner, dinner at Samba Grill costs $50 to $55 per adult. However, booking through the Cruise Planner ahead of your sailing is the easiest way to score a good deal.
For example, on an upcoming eight-night cruise aboard Allure of the Seas, the cruise line is currently offering a 25% discount off the onboard rate, which brings the cost down to $36.99 per person.
Another pre-cruise sale aboard Radiance of the Seas is even better, with the Cruise Planner promotion reaching up to 30% off of the onboard price. This means the cost of dinner at Samba Grill is only $34.99 per adult.
Finally, an ongoing sale for an upcoming Mediterranean cruise on Harmony of the Seas has reduced the Samba Grill to $40.68 per person, which is 25% off the onboard price of $55.
Samba Grill is also included in Royal Caribbean's Unlimited Dining Package.
The new restaurant will be a little different depending on the time of day. During the evening, Samba Grill will be adults only while during the day it will revert to being the Solarium Bistro, where it will serve light breakfasts and lunches.
