Cruise Menus

One of the most delightful aspects of cruising is the culinary adventure that awaits you onboard. By planning your meals ahead of time, you can savor every bite, and make the most of your cruise vacation.

How to Access Cruise Menus in Advance

While menus are usually displayed as soon as you board the ship, most cruise lines offer detailed menus on their websites or through their mobile apps. You can also find menu information on travel forums, cruise review sites, and social media groups dedicated to cruising enthusiasts. To make things easy, Cruise Corps has collected menus from many popular cruise lines. Just click on a cruise line below to see what’s being served.

Why Planning Your Meals in Advance Matters

  1. Anticipate Culinary Highlights: Many cruises feature specialty dining nights or themed dinners. By checking the menus ahead of time, you can look forward to these unique experiences and plan your schedule around them.
  2. Accommodate Dietary Needs: If you have dietary restrictions or preferences, reviewing menus in advance to see the best options for your needs. If you have additional requirements, the best option is to talk to the Maître d as soon as you get on board.
  3. Avoid Food FOMO: Fear of missing out (FOMO) is real, especially when it comes to delicious food. Planning your meals helps you avoid regret and ensures you know which specialty restaurants to book in advance, before they sell out.

Tips for Planning Your Meals

  • Research Specialty Restaurants: Many cruises have specialty restaurants with limited seating. Check out the options in advance so you know what restaurants are the best for your party.
  • Plan Around Shore Excursions: Coordinate your meal plans with your shore excursions to ensure you don’t overbook. We like to plan our favorite specialty restaurant dinners for sea days so we have lots of time to get ready for a big night out.
  • Book Specialty Restaurants Early: The most popular specialty restaurants will fill up quickly. Be aware of how far in advance you can make reservations before your cruise and book your preferred times as soon as the booking window opens. You can always cancel or change the time on board later.

Dive into the menus, make your selections, and get ready for a gastronomic journey that will make your cruise truly unforgettable. Bon appétit!
