Creator's Key Takeaways

the food at the mdr the main dining room your dinner is included with your the price of your cruise so you don't pay any extra it's very good

specialty dining is all these restaurants are becoming more and more common on these cruise ships and as they make the cruise ships bigger and bigger they're coming up with more varieties of food

the buffet is a great option and another thing that you'll find on a lot of cruise ships and this varies by ship and by cruise line is they have some special complimentary options besides the buffet or the main dining room
