The Royal Pacific features six on-site restaurants, including the world-famous chef Emeril Lagasse's Tchoup Chop, which serves "Asian cuisine with a kick." For children, there is a supervised activities center called The Mariner's Club, plus an interactive children's water play area near the lagoon pool.
