Creator's Key Takeaways

The Veranda Steakhouse was excellent. I tried their lunch, and it was absolutely worth the price.

The soup was almost the best I've ever had, and the cheesecake was incredible.

It's better than any steakhouse I’ve eaten at on any ship. I think it’s the best so far.

The alternative dining option transforms a buffet space into a cozy and intimate restaurant by evening.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book lunch at The Veranda Steakhouse for $31, as it's excellent value.
Plan accordingly, as The Veranda Steakhouse is only open from noon to 1:30 PM.
Book specialty dining online before boarding to secure your spot.
