Creator's Key Takeaways

i'm a bit of a foodie and i love going on cruises and trying foods i've never had before

i find that my best option for that is the specialty restaurants on our last cruise we dined at several specialty restaurants and we enjoyed our meals at every single one of them

i actually prefer a mix of everything i tend to enjoy the main dining room for day to day dinner but i usually don't have great luck with the desserts menu

when we first started cruising we didn't do much specialty dining however over the last couple of years we've had some of our best meals at sea as we've tried more specialty dining options

Creator's Tips & Advice

Talk to other passengers to see what their experience has been before booking any restaurants to make sure each meal is worth the additional up charge.
Consider a mix of main dining room, buffet, and specialty dining for variety.
