The story
Grand Epernay is the signature main restaurant aboard Celebrity Cruises ships, departing from Miami's port at 1050 Caribbean Way. Serving American and European cuisine across lunch and dinner, it earned a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2013 — recognition reserved for restaurants that offer well-chosen wine lists that pair meaningfully with their menus.
The Wine Spectator distinction speaks directly to what sets Grand Epernay apart from a typical shipboard dining room. Rather than treating wine as an afterthought, the program is curated to complement the broad range of American and European dishes on offer — a considered approach that the guide's evaluators found worthy of formal recognition.
For guests sailing with Celebrity Cruises, Grand Epernay represents the classic main dining experience: a setting where European culinary traditions meet American sensibility, served in a room designed for the rhythm of an evening at sea. The address may be Miami, but the table is wherever the ship happens to be sailing.
