Is Food Included on Cruises?
Cruise lines offer a wide variety of dinning options while onboard the ship. Is food included in the price of the cruise? Yes. Once onboard you will never have to pay for a meal for the duration of your trip (unless you choose to do so). Cruise lines do offer specialty dinning options for an additional charge, but many cruisers find these options unnecessary. There will always be plenty of free food onboard your ship.
Dining options will vary from ship to ship but one thing is for certain, you will always be able to find something to eat onboard your ship.
