Pricing

How to reserve

Specialty dining packages for Royal Caribbean cruises can be purchased both before you sail and once you are onboard. The pre-cruise option, available through the Cruise Planner on the Royal Caribbean website or app, is generally the best choice. This method often comes with discounted pricing and allows you to secure your reservations for specific restaurants and times well in advance, which is crucial for popular venues.

How to purchase

If you don't purchase a package ahead of time, you can still buy one on the ship at any specialty restaurant, but the cost will be higher. Royal Caribbean offers different packages, such as the Unlimited Dining Package, which includes dinner every night and lunch on sea days at specialty restaurants. It's important to be aware of any surcharges for certain high-end venues or menu items. All dining packages include an 18% gratuity.

Age restrictions

There are no specific age restrictions for Fish & Ships, but children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
