Creator's Key Takeaways

The cover charge here is $18 per person. Now, if you're paying out of pocket, that's a steep lunch.

We were using the unlimited dining package, which makes this a no-brainer stop.

The fries were a bit of a miss. They looked great, but only the top layer was hot.

The onion rings, these are the real deal. They are the best onion rings I've had on this ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use the unlimited dining package to cover the cover charge.
βœ“Use diamond drink vouchers or a beverage package to cover milkshake costs.
βœ“Tell your server to go light on mayo if ordering a sandwich.
βœ“Consider the value if paying out of pocket for a lunch for two.
