Unmissable Complimentary Cruise Cuisine

Set sail on a cruise and you may find yourself exploring vibrant underwater reefs, conquering a rock climbing wall, lounging by the pool with a refreshing drink, or singing your heart out at the karaoke bar. What you won’t be doing is going hungry. When it comes to dining onboard, there’s a plethora of options available, and plenty to savor. Not only will you dine on a cruise, but you’ll indulge in delicious fare. Just because the cruise meals are complimentary doesn’t mean they lack excitement. Dishes you’d typically expect to pay extra for at your favorite restaurants are included in your cruise price. As you might anticipate from a ship that journeys around the globe, much of the cuisine is inspired by international flavors. Cruise ship menus offer a fantastic chance to explore new culinary delights without straining your wallet. From the main dining room to room service, the complimentary cuisine is sure to impress.

Dining Rooms on Cruise Ships

Step into any of the main dining rooms onboard, and you’ll be welcomed by chic, modern decor designed to enhance your dining experience. Choose from a menu featuring classic dishes alongside signature creations that rival the finest restaurants. Highlights include the Spice-Rubbed Beef Tenderloin with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, drizzled with rich Demi-Glace and paired with Creamy Polenta and Sautéed Spinach. If seafood is your preference, savor the Braised Red Snapper accompanied by Cherry Tomatoes, Zucchini, and Fennel Cream.

Explore the Cruise Buffet

For a laid-back dining option, the Dinogo cruise buffet presents a self-serve selection that spans all courses from salads to desserts. As you navigate the spread, don’t miss the Carving Station featuring whole prime rib, just like at your favorite steakhouse. The Pasta Station boasts an array of pastas and sauces that could rival any Italian eatery. Create your own stir-fry at the popular Wok Station with fresh vegetables and your choice of meat. And don’t forget to save room for dessert!

In-Room Dining on a Cruise

Just because it’s in-room dining doesn’t mean it has to be mundane. The same gourmet dishes found in the restaurants can be enjoyed right in your room. Indulge in the Skirt Steak accompanied by Fried Sweet Plantains, Zucchini, Red Bell Pepper, and Chimichurri Sauce. Or savor the handcrafted Pizza Margherita, made just like in Italy. Both of these signature offerings are complimentary with your cruise.

Cruise Ship Restaurant Featuring Asian Delights

You can’t truly call the complimentary cuisine globally inspired without including dishes from Asia. On most voyages, the Asian restaurant offers freshly prepared noodles and delectable wok-fried options like Singapore Noodles, a tantalizing mix of Rice Noodles, Prawns, Roast Pork, Bean Sprouts, and Yellow Curry.

O'Sheehan's Irish Pub

Visit O'Sheehan's Irish pub on most sailings for classic pub cuisine. It wouldn’t be genuine without Fish & Chips on the menu, which is a standout dish here. The pub is adorned with retro American memorabilia, making you feel as though you’ve traveled back in time. Take a seat at the bar for a pint of Guinness and enjoy the complimentary Signature Half Dozen Chicken Wings, available in your choice of Buffalo, Texas BBQ, Thai Chili, or Jamaican Jerk Spice sauce, served with fresh celery and Blue Cheese dip.

The Haven Dining Experience

Guests of The Haven on select ships can indulge in a private, complimentary fine-dining experience at The Haven Restaurant. The restaurant’s signature dish is Grilled Sea Bass, but every item on the menu is designed to impress.
