CRUISE DINING

Food Glorious Food Onboard Your Cruise Ship

Dining on a cruise ship is as exciting as every other aspect of life onboard. There are so many different dining choices and enticing atmospheres to experience you won't know where to start. It's your holiday and it's only right that you decide whether to go formal or casual, eat early or late, in the traditional dining room, speciality restaurant or in the privacy of your cabin.

Each cruise line offers a different dining experience with different names given to essentially the same things, but one thing all the cruise lines have in common is the wide choice and variety of onboard dining options and restaurants, underpinned by a service that is unsurpassed.

Dining has always been the premier event on any cruise ship. Superb culinary creations are proudly served by highly trained waiters, waiters who will leave lasting memories long after the cruise has finished.

Dining Experiences

As well as the main dining room where you can choose waiter service for breakfast, lunch and dinner, to the more informal buffet style self-service dining experiences throughout the day, you can expect every type of menu and diet to be catered for. The trend is certainly toward more flexible and casual dining onboard, providing you with a much greater choice of dining experiences.

From informal alfresco dining and exotic Asian cuisine, to a variety of fast food options, 24-hour off menu room service, and sumptuous private dining in an intimate celebrity chef endorsed speciality restaurant, you'll discover an incredible culinary experience to satisfy even the most adventurous of tastes.

MAIN DINING

The Elegant Main Dining Rooms

The main dining experience still remains a wonderful way to share your holiday experiences and meet new friends as the same table will be reserved for you and your table companions every night for first, second or on some ships, even a third sitting, typically at 5.30pm, 6.30pm or 8.30pm depending on the ship, itinerary and cruise line.

Casual Approach to Dining

These cruise lines offer either alternative anytime dining options in the main dining rooms or in the more casual restaurants. You choose when, where and what to eat.

ALTERNATIVE DINING

Alternative Dining

Many cruises have introduced a casual approach to dining across their ships, moving away from the more traditional two seating main dining experience. On most cruise lines you can now enjoy the same cuisine as is served in the main dining room in a more relaxed environment.
