The restaurants involved in the cruise rate had all different types of food and were high quality, so splurging on specialty restaurants wasn’t certain.

One of the most distinctive things upon cruising is that most meals, snacks, and drinks are included in the cruise rate.
But on large ships like Knockout of the Seas, more than a dozen restaurants with specialty offerings, like sushi, are not included and incur additional controls, either a one-time fee or by the dish. I paid $40 to $60 for each meal.
I reserved all specialty restaurants before my outing, but I wish I hadn’t booked so many once I realized the included restaurants offered a wide range of delicious edibles to eat.
There was more than one buffet, and the main dining room served a three-course meal with changing menu notes each night.
These included options satisfied every craving. One of the best meals I had was in the main dining apartment.
Since I booked so many specialty restaurants, I didn’t have time to try all the buffets or eat in the main dining room numerous than once. If I had known they’d be so satisfying, I would’ve saved money and eaten more of the included meals as an alternative.
