If you are considering, or have already booked, a luxury cruise on the Royal Caribbean, then kudos to you, that’s an excellent decision. Especially when it comes to the cuisine on board.
Of course, your tickets will cover all you can eat for breakfast and lunch at the buffet, but if perhaps you would prefer to dine somewhere with a quieter, more relaxed, and less crowded atmosphere, then you may consider heading over to one of the Main Dining Rooms (MDR) instead.
The main dining rooms offer a wide variety of food choices, from traditional American fare through to the best of international cuisine.
Whichever MDR you go to, the menu will be the same, so where to head is totally down to your location preference.
The breakfast menu there is the same every day, so on your first visit you will always know what to expect for the remainder of your cruise. When it comes to the lunch menus, however, this changes day to day.

Hi, my name is Alex Kallen and I love to travel. Ever since I could afford the ticket, I hopped on a plane and never looked back. I’ve made a living writing travel guides and blogging my experience all over the world.
I want to encourage and inspire others to travel around the US like I am. There’s no need to go on vacation overseas when there is an amazing land of opportunity right on your doorstep. Enjoy my website, I hope to see you out here one day.
