Creator's Key Takeaways

The cruise lines offer the best deal on that day, on the first day of your embarkation, because the restaurants will usually be empty.

You get to enjoy not having to be in the crowded buffet, and dining in a restaurant that's almost empty.

Book a specialty restaurant on the first day
