Top 15 Delicacies You Can Savor Onboard This Memorial Day

Memorial Day serves as a meaningful occasion to pay tribute to those who have served and are currently serving our nation. It also marks the unofficial start of summer. If you're planning a family cruise getaway this Memorial Day, you'll get to indulge in delightful summer treats right in the middle of the ocean! Even if your cruise is scheduled for after Memorial Day, your ship will feature the same delectable menu options.

Here are 15 of the finest dishes you can enjoy on your summer cruise:

Grilled Hot Dogs

Is there anything that captures the essence of summer quite like a hot dog fresh off the grill? How about enjoying one while sailing in the ocean? If you’re craving a hot dog piled high with toppings, just make your way to Off The Grill and savor your meal with a gorgeous view. It’s a favorite among kids!

Classic Hamburger

Off The Grill serves a fantastic classic burger to accompany your hot dog. However, if you’re in the mood for something bolder, head to Guy’s Burger Joint, where you can find burgers topped with a variety of sauces, cheeses, and crispy bacon.

Hamburgers might just be the only summer food that can genuinely compete with hot dogs in popularity. During your cruise, you'll have plenty of burger options to celebrate Memorial Day.

Barbecue Beef

The aroma of barbecue is a hallmark of summer, so you won’t be let down when you stroll past Guy’s Pig & Anchor Smokehouse. While there are plenty of mouthwatering smoked selections available, be sure to try the barbecue beef at least once—it’s a Memorial Day favorite!

Sweet Baked Beans

If you’re looking for a sweet complement to your smoked beef, order a side of baked beans. At Guy’s Pig & Anchor Smokehouse, the baked beans are slow-cooked with molasses for a rich sweetness, and they come with delicious bits of bacon mixed in.

Ice Cream

After indulging in all that hot and savory food under the summer sun, treating yourself to something cool and sweet is just what you need. Swing by Swirls for your choice of chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry ice cream, as well as delicious frozen yogurt.

Delicious Steak

Vacations are meant for indulging, which makes ordering a steak at the steakhouse an excellent choice, even after a day filled with burgers, beans, and hot dogs.

Omelets

Who says you have to wait until the afternoon to kick off your Memorial Day celebrations? A steaming, customized omelet paired with a fresh cup of coffee is the ideal way to begin your morning on the open seas! The Breakfast Grill prepares your omelet exactly how you like it.

Sausage and Bacon

Looking for something a bit heartier to complement your omelet? No worries! The Breakfast Grill offers as much sausage and bacon as you desire.

Apple Pie

Is there a dessert that embodies America quite like apple pie? We don’t think so! The best part is that the apple pie from Comfort Kitchen is baked fresh every day—no cold pies here!

Peach Cobbler

If apple pie isn’t your favorite, don’t worry—the Comfort Kitchen has plenty of other sweet treats! You can indulge in a variety of desserts, including the classic peach cobbler. Be sure to enjoy this delightful dessert at least once during your getaway.

Roasted Potatoes

If you're in need of some carbs to complement all that meat, make your way to Good Eats, where you can enjoy some delicious roasted potatoes. And while you’re there, you might as well indulge in a steak or some pork chops too.

Pork Chops

If you loved those roasted potatoes but now have a hankering for pork chops, you’re in luck! Good Eats offers pork chops every evening, and they pair wonderfully with roasted potatoes.

Grilled Chicken

While red meat is a popular choice for Memorial Day, not everyone indulges in burgers, hot dogs, and steak (or maybe you’ve simply had enough). No need to worry, as Off The Grill ensures you can still savor the smoked flavor of freshly grilled chicken.

Smoked Sausage

There’s a reason families flock to Guy Fieri’s restaurants on Dinogo cruise ships—especially on Memorial Day. Smoked sausage is another beloved summer dish available at Pig & Anchor Smokehouse, and you definitely don’t want to miss out on these!

Tacos

Who says you have to stick to “traditional” Memorial Day fare? If you’re in the mood for something different, take a stroll to BlueIguana Cantina, where you can grab some fresh, juicy tacos, along with a variety of other Mexican delights.

These are just 15 examples of the many amazing foods you can relish during a Memorial Day weekend getaway—or any summer day, for that matter. If you're planning a vacation cruise to exciting destinations like Hawaii or Mexico, be sure to explore all the restaurants mentioned above, as each offers much more than just the selections listed here. Dinogo provides year-round deals so you can enjoy a fantastic family vacation. After all, a cruise is the ideal way to savor delicious food and stunning beaches, all in one trip!
