If I didn’t take advantage of Free at Sea™ specialty dining at the time of booking, can I add it later or purchase it onboard?

If you booked with Free at Sea but didn't select specialty dining, you can add it to your cruise in your online account at the "upgrades" tab. This must be done at least three days before your cruise.

You cannot purchase Free at Sea specialty dining onboard. You can purchase specialty dining meals onboard at prevailing rates + taxes and fees.

All specialty restaurants will have a cover charge + taxes and fees. Cover charges are as follows:

  • Steak, Teppanyaki / Hasuki, French, and Seafood have a $60 cover charge.
  • Brazil, Asian, Food Republic, and Sushi have a $50 cover charge.
