Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Steak dinner at Cagney's was exceptional. All of the rest of the dining was also excellent. Eating at the Garden Cafe was a bit hectic as we had a group of 6.

Ship tip

At Monaco we had to tender in. Book your tender early if you have to make a starting time for a tour.

Fencesmith-does the discount at cirque count as 1 of the meals in the pkg or is that a discount on top?

When you opt for the dinner package, the ala carte restaurants is what is includes. You can get more than one appetizer and dessert, but an extra main dish is an extra $10 last I heard. It also gets you a discount to the Cirque Dreams dinner show which I hear is really good.

I think we'll go that route next time. For our cruise coming up next month we went with Ultimate Beverage and Excursion Credit. All good, but looking back we're thinking the specialty restaurants will suite us better then excursion dollars.

How did that work with the dinner package? Most of the restaurants are now ala carte. Thanks so much....we are sailing Christmas...can’t wait.
