YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

The main dining room is the largest dining venue on a Royal Caribbean Cruise. This is where many guests enjoy most of the dinners. Continuing with our Royal Caribbean Cruise food video series we are going to tell you everything you need to know about the MDR. We broke our video down into seven sections including atmosphere, location, dining times, menu, dress code, tips and our overall thoughts. We have been asked a lot of questions about the Royal Caribbean Cruise main dining room. The largest main dining room we have ever seen was on the Allure of the Seas and it was three floors. There was a massive chandelier in the middle and lots of artwork around the dining room. The Royal Caribbean dining room experience is very different on the Quantum class of ships. Instead of one massive main dining room there are 4 smaller ones with their own theming and menu options. Your Royal Caribbean Cruise dining time will depend on if you chose traditional dining or my time dining. Usually a floor of the dining room is set aside for traditional dining and you will be either the first or second seating. You will be assigned the same table, table mates and server for each dinner. For my time dining you will not have a set dining time every night instead you will either make a reservation or show up and wait for an available table. The Royal Caribbean cruise main dining room food does not change if you choose traditional or my time dining. You will have the same menu so you don't have to worry about feeling like you are missing out. We were really impressed with the menu in the main dining room. Royal Caribbean cruise food did not disappoint. Breakfast lunch and dinner are served in the MDR. For lunch and dinner there is a three course menu. The dinner menu Dinner is also a three course meal. There are classics which are available every night and then a rotation of options so every night is different. Royal Caribbean cruise do bring in local flavours so the menu options for your sailing will be different than ours. -=-=- Merchandise -=-=- Checkout our brand new merchandise we just launched.
