Creator's Key Takeaways

Specialty restaurant is an upgraded dining experience that's not included in your regular cruise fair.

They typically use higherend ingredients, have a very attentive weight staff, a more upscale ambiance than you would find in the main dining room.

Most cruise lines charge anywhere from $30 to $60 per person as a cover charge.

I would say book them as early as you can, particularly on C days.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book specialty restaurants as early as you can, particularly on sea days.
Check for special offers from cruise lines that may include specialty dining meals.
