12 Unexpected Foods You Can Discover and Enjoy on a Dinogo Cruise

Cruise ships are famous for many things, but the standout feature has to be the incredible food available from dawn until well into the night. Dining on board offers more than just room service and buffets — although those are fantastic too! Dinogo presents a selection of truly surprising and delightfully delicious dishes for you to enjoy at sea. You might find it challenging to encounter these treats back home, so make the most of your holiday by sampling these 12 distinctive meals.

1. Rum-Infused Milkshakes

Looking for a reason to escape the midday sun? The Shake Spot serves up cool, creamy beverages sure to lift your spirits. And if you're in the mood for something extra, why not add a splash of rum to your milkshake? You can indulge in a float or a shake with a shot of rum for a taste of island-style bliss. We promise to keep your secret.

2. Fruity Rings French Toast

Treat your inner child to this delightful brunch dish. Thick slices of French toast paired with crunchy breakfast cereal are perfect for those indecisive mornings. If fruity rings aren't your top choice, opt for this delicious creation topped with frosted corn flakes instead. Both options are available at the fabulous Seaday Brunch.

3. Escargot

Why travel all the way to France for this delicacy when you can enjoy a fantastic version during your cruise at the Steakhouse? This is your chance to savor tender snails bathed in herb butter. If you’re feeling apprehensive, pair it with a fine vintage from the extensive wine list — just be prepared to find a new favorite appetizer!

4. Green Eggs and Ham

For a delightful family experience, be sure to check out the Dr. Seuss-inspired Green Eggs and Ham Breakfast. Your kids will adore the vibrant green eggs, red pancakes, and fresh, colorful fruit.

6. Habanero Salsa

No cruise to Mexico is truly complete without visiting the salsa bar at the BlueIguana Cantina. This ultra-spicy habanero salsa earns a four-chile rating for heat, making it a challenge only for the bravest to drizzle over their burritos and tacos. If you prefer something milder, try the sweet watermelon-jicama or classic pico de gallo instead.

This luscious, layered Italian dessert is the ideal way to conclude a classic Italian meal, so it's no wonder you can enjoy it at Cucina del Capitano. What might surprise you is that it will become the best tiramisu you've ever tasted, thanks to the thoughtful infusion of coffee-flavored and orange-flavored liqueurs.

9. Yuzu Custard

While the bite-sized fish offerings steal the spotlight at Bonsai Sushi, don’t overlook the yuzu custard for dessert. This creamy delight is crafted with juice from the yuzu fruit, a Japanese favorite that’s likely hard to come by at your local supermarket. Its sweet and citrusy flavor pairs beautifully with a sesame biscuit.

10. Pig Patties

Only celebrity chef Guy Fieri could elevate bacon to new heights. His flavor-packed pig patty features a burger topped with gooey melted cheese and an additional patty made entirely of crispy bacon. Round out your meal with hand-cut French fries at Guy’s Burger Joint.
