Celestyal Journey Specialty Dining Review: See Smoked Olive, Pink Moon and Grill Seekers Menus

See the Celestyal Journey speciality dining restaurants reviewed in full, with the Smoked Olive, Pink Moon and Grill Seekers menus, food and service review, plus how the set menu and package options work. Three restaurants, three full reviews, one ranking at the end. I walk through the layout and ambiance of every venue, show each menu in detail, explain exactly how the speciality dining package works in each one, and then talk through every course and drink in real time as my wife and I eat. No highlight reel and no guesswork about what arrives at the table. Smoked Olive is the Mediterranean option, built around pizza, pasta, risotto and salads with a contemporary edge. I show the dining space, the service, and the way the five-course option is structured against ordering a la carte, so you can judge whether the fixed price is worth taking over picking individual dishes. Pink Moon is the Asian restaurant and a first for this cruise line, running from ramen through to family-sized hotpots designed to be shared. Aromatic spice work drives most of the cooking here. The three-course set menu sits at the lower end of the pricing, and I cover what that includes and where the a la carte tempts you past it. Grill Seekers handles steak and seafood behind a monochrome fit-out that reads more brasserie than steakhouse. It is the priciest of the trio, so I spend time on portioning, cooking accuracy and whether the five-course run justifies the step up over the complimentary main restaurant a deck below. The speciality dining package on this ship is not one flat rate. Each venue prices separately, combination deals reward booking two or three across a sailing, and the Plus+ fare adds a further saving, so the maths changes depending on how many nights you commit. I break down what each booking actually buys, and every Celestyal Journey menu shown here was photographed on the night we ate. The Chef's Table also gets covered: I show where it sits and what the room looks like, though we did not dine there on this sailing. By the end you get an honest verdict on all three and a straight ranking of which delivered, which underwhelmed and which one I would book again first. Food quality, service, atmosphere and value all factor in. 0:00 Celestyal Journey Restaurants 0:45 Grill Seekers 9:12 Pink Moon 17:39 Smoked Olive 22:45 Chef's Table This is part of my Cruise Reviews series and my Travel Food series, sitting alongside the full ship review and cabin tour from the same Celestyal Journey Greek Islands sailing.
