Creator's Key Takeaways

there's no shame in asking and some questions may seem dumb if you're new to cruising especially about dining on board

the main dining room is the name of the Royal Caribbean's traditional sit-down restaurant

there are no limits how much you can indulge in the buffet on a cruise you know there's many times as you want order as much as you want

the majority of food on a welcome and cruise fair is free it's easy to go to an entire cruise without spending anything extra on food

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check the Royal Caribbean app to see which dining venues are on your ship
Book specialty restaurants on days when the main dining room menu isn't appealing
Request your own table in the main dining room if assigned to a table with other passengers
Email Royal Caribbean at special_needs@rccl.com at least 45 days before your cruise for dietary restrictions
