Can I choose what time I eat at night, table size and who I am dining with?
When you cruise not only do you unlock a myriad of destinations in one trip, you'll also find a whole foodie experience at your fingertips!
With a choice of main restaurants, casual buffet dining, cafes, bars and themed eateries, jumping burger joints, sushi, Teppanyaki, pizzas, ice cream, steak houses and healthy eating options all depending on which ship you choose, the world really is your oyster when it comes to food!
When you book, most cruise lines will assign you a table in the main restaurant - all you have to choose is the dining time (early, late, free-time or family sitting) and your seats are reserved for you throughout your holiday. If this is available you will see the options that can be requested when you are booking. You may also be able to link your booking with other friends or family for dining together when onboard, which you can request through our chat portal.
This isn't your only dining choice though; many people choose to go freestyle and dine when and where they want, booking speciality restaurants in advance through their cruise account, visiting the buffet for a selection of worldwide cuisine, or the cafes and poolside snack bars for a truly relaxed getaway. Check with the Maitre'd or through your onboard account once onboard that they have your requests.
Whatever you want, whether gourmet, healthy eating options, seafood, worldwide choice and many more, there is something for everyone on a cruise holiday!
