Where to Dine for Free on Royal Caribbean’s Utopia of the Seas
If you’re like me, one of the best parts of cruising is the food. And on Royal Caribbean’s Utopia of the Seas, there’s no shortage of incredible included dining options. That’s right — many of the best meals onboard are already covered in your cruise fare. As someone who loves both eating well and saving money, I made it my mission to try all the Utopia of the Seas restaurants where you can dine for free.
Below, I’m sharing my favorites — from poolside snacks to elegant dinners — so you can plan your foodie adventure at sea.
Windjammer Marketplace
The Windjammer is my go-to spot for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It’s buffet-style, with a massive variety of dishes from around the world. I love grabbing a plate of fresh fruit in the morning or sampling new international flavors at night.
Main Dining Room
Every evening brings a new three-course menu — and it’s all included. Think lobster tail on formal night, filet mignon, or escargot. The atmosphere is beautiful, but there’s no strict dress code, so I often keep it casual.
Sorrento’s Pizza
Located on the Royal Promenade, Sorrento’s serves pizza until late at night. Perfect after a show or a few hours of dancing.
Café Promenade
Open 24 hours, this spot keeps me fueled with coffee, pastries, and light bites.
Park Café
Tucked in Central Park, it’s quieter and perfect for breakfast or a light lunch. Don’t miss the fresh salads and sandwiches.
Solarium Bistro
Mediterranean-inspired and steps from the adults-only Solarium — I come here for fresh Greek salads, tzatziki, and lamb chops.
El Loco Fresh
Poolside tacos, burritos, and nachos? Yes, please.
Boardwalk Dog House
Gourmet hot dogs with a variety of toppings. A must-try on a sunny day.
The Spare Tire
This new poolside food truck has incredible pulled pork sandwiches and flatbreads.
Room Service (Some Items)
Continental breakfast is free — great for slow mornings on the balcony.
