Creator's Key Takeaways

I can't recall ever having a bad meal.

The food is just way better here. It's fresher. It's specially prepared instead of being mass-produced.

It's often worth it to head down anyway and see if you can still grab a seat.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Look for discounted lunchtime meals at specialty restaurants.
✓Order steakhouse items from the main dining room menu for half the price.
✓Try Indian dishes on the ship, as they may be better due to culinary staff.
✓If a reservation system says a restaurant is full, head down anyway to check for open tables.
✓Stick with rotating menu items in the dining room for the best meal.

Awkwardness about not paying a bill or leaving a tip after a meal. — On a cruise, you just get up and leave; tips are covered by automatic gratuities.
