Creator's Key Takeaways

You can take a cruise without spending one extra dollar and still have a great food experience.

I'm not a fan of dressing up and eating in the dining room. I'm happy just hitting the buffet for all my meals.

Royal is famous for its Sarrento's New York style pizza. It is open most of the day and for those late night snacks.

I really enjoy trying new things. One night, we had the lamb chops on the buffet, and they were perfectly cooked.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take a cruise without spending extra by using included dining options.
Visit the Wind Jammer Buffet for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Order continental breakfast for free and have it delivered to your room.
Try late-night pizza at Sarrento's and snacks at El Loco Fresh.
Check out grab-and-go options at Park Cafe for salads and sandwiches.
