19 Delicious Foods to Enjoy on a Dinogo Cruise

As a food enthusiast, I was utterly amazed by the culinary delights onboard the Dinogo Cruise after spending a week there! The Dinogo Magic offers a variety of dining options, including a burrito bar, steakhouse, seadogs, Cucina del Capitano, Mongolian wok, lido deck, dining rooms, 24-hour room service, pizza bar, oceanside BBQ, chef’s table, and seaday brunch.

Most of the food is included in your cruise package, except for the steakhouse, Cucina del Capitano, and chef’s table, which have a small additional cost. Feel free to indulge as much as you like!

I would wake up to fresh fruit and coffee in my room, head down for roasted pork chops and fluffy pancakes at seaday brunch, enjoy a lunch buffet at the lido deck, grab hot dogs by the pool in the afternoon, savor prime steak and lobster at the steakhouse, relish an elegant three-course dinner in the dining room, and indulge in hot pizza slices at midnight. This is the life!

Here are my top recommendations from the Dinogo Magic!

1. Grilled Salmon Fillet

Waking up for Seaday Brunch every morning was the highlight of my day! I especially loved the grilled salmon fillet served with roasted peppers, tomatoes, black olives, and capers. It’s topped with creamy mashed potatoes and garnished with crispy potato chips.

2. Flame-Roasted Pork Chop

Are you a meat lover? The flame-roasted, double-cut thick pork chop, adorned with caramelized onions and gorgonzola cream, is an absolute must-try.

3. Hen Alla Diavola

The grilled chicken, seasoned with lemon and hot pepper, will certainly add some zest to your morning.

4. Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes

Experience the lightest pancakes topped with a delightful blueberry compote.

5. Fruit Loops French Toast

Reconnect with your inner child by enjoying French toast coated with your favorite cereal!

6. Caramel Cheesecake

Who says dessert isn’t acceptable for breakfast?

7. Prosciutto Pizza

The Pizzeria del Capitano on the Lido Deck offers hot slices around the clock, topped with fresh mozzarella cheese and a variety of toppings. My favorite was the prosciutto pizza with arugula! I won't lie; I've even gotten up in the middle of the night just to grab a couple of slices.

8. Macarons & Chocolate-Covered Strawberries

Feeling peckish for an afternoon treat after your nap? Just call room service and indulge in a plate of sweets.

9. Grilled Red Snapper

A stunning red snapper fillet grilled to perfection and drizzled with gazpacho juice. I enjoyed dining in the main restaurant, where I could take in the breathtaking panoramic views of the ocean.

10. Prime Roast With American Beef Au Jus

Comfort food presented with elegance. The beef was incredibly tender and flavorful, especially when paired with the au jus!

11. Chocolate Extravaganza

An all-you-can-eat chocolate buffet featuring a delightful selection of cakes, cookies, cupcakes, cake pops, ice cream, and pies. It’s a dessert lover's paradise!

12. Sushi

Savor the flavors of seared tuna, ebi shrimp sushi, and Atlantic salmon tartare.

13. Indulge at the Steakhouse

Kick off your vacation with a lavish meal at the steakhouse, or cap off your trip with an unforgettable evening featuring premium cuts of beef, fresh seafood, gourmet appetizers, and plenty of wine.
Additional $35.

14. Ahi Tuna Tartare

Select from a variety of starters, salads, entrees, and desserts. I chose the ahi tuna tartare made with sashimi-grade yellowfin tuna belly.

15. Escargots Bourguignonne

Delightful morsels baked in garlic herb butter. The lobster bisque, enriched with vintage cognac, fleuron, and fresh cream, was simply exquisite!

16. Broiled Lobster Tail

While on a cruise, it's essential to treat yourself to fresh lobster, especially when it’s elegantly served in a lobster tower.

17. Grilled Lamb Chops

At the steakhouse, you can choose from prime New York strip, prime ribeye steak, and filet mignon, but I personally prefer the double-cut grilled lamb chops.

18. Chocolate Sampler

Indulge in bittersweet chocolate cake, banana panna cotta, tiramisu, and chocolate marquise—truly the ultimate dessert quartet.

19. Warm Chocolate Melting Cake

And I can’t overlook the iconic warm chocolate melting cake paired with vanilla ice cream. A delightful spoonful of the warm, fudgy cake alongside the cold ice cream is heavenly. I enjoyed one of these every single night during dinner.

I can’t even begin to describe the variety of foods I savored aboard the Dinogo Magic Cruise Ship! This list doesn’t even cover everything I tried during my week-long adventure in the Western Caribbean—just the highlights. I was thoroughly impressed by the extensive dining options, the quality of the fine dining, and the convenience. Experiencing fine dining at sea is something everyone should try. I eagerly await my next Dinogo Cruise!
