Cruise specialty dining can be one of the best parts of a vacation, but paying extra for specialty restaurants does not automatically mean better food or a better experience. In this video, we look at specialty dining vs. the main dining room, food quality, atmosphere, included cruise dining, specialty restaurant costs, dining packages, and whether paying extra for cruise food is actually worth it.

Whether you love specialty restaurants, prefer the main dining room, or do a little of both, the real question is what gives you the best value and the best cruise experience.
