At Calm Seas Travel, we believe that every cruise is a voyage not only through stunning destinations but also through unforgettable culinary experiences. After all, what's a vacation without indulging in world-class cuisine while sailing the high seas? We’ve asked our community of seasoned cruisers to share their favorite onboard dishes, and we’re excited to present the top five most raved-about meals that will make your cruise dining truly extraordinary.
1. Lobster Tail
Why it’s a favorite:
Few things scream luxury cruise food more than enjoying a perfectly cooked lobster tail while sailing through azure waters. This dish is a staple on formal nights across many cruise lines and is served with drawn butter and fresh vegetables. The tender, succulent meat paired with the buttery richness makes it a dish that cruisers can’t stop talking about.
Calm Seas Tip: Make sure to dine in the main dining room on the night lobster is featured. Calm Seas Travel can ensure you’re set up for a memorable dinner.
2. Chateaubriand (Beef Tenderloin)
Why it’s a favorite:
This luxurious cut of beef is a showstopper for any cruise foodie, perfectly prepared for those with a taste for fine dining. Served with classic sauces like Béarnaise or red wine reduction, Chateaubriand offers a melt-in-your-mouth experience. Whether you’re celebrating a special night or just want a taste of the best, this dish is always a winner on board.
Calm Seas Tip: Let your Calm Seas Travel advisor know if you're a fan of gourmet meals, and we’ll suggest the perfect nights and restaurants to enjoy this dish at its best!
3. Crème Brûlée
Why it’s a favorite:
Crème Brûlée remains a fan-favorite cruise food dessert among cruisers, and it's easy to see why. The crack of the caramelized sugar crust followed by the smooth, creamy vanilla custard underneath makes for a perfect ending to any meal. Many cruisers find themselves ordering this night after night—it’s that good.
Calm Seas Tip: Keep an eye out for unique spins on this dessert, like chocolate or fruit-infused versions, depending on the cruise line’s culinary creativity. We can help you plan a night to indulge in these delicious treats.
4. Shrimp Cocktail
Why it’s a favorite:
Light, fresh, and simply satisfying, the shrimp cocktail is an easy pick for cruisers who want to kick off their meal with a classic. Plump, chilled shrimp served with zesty cocktail sauce and a squeeze of lemon makes for a refreshing appetizer that sets the stage for the meal ahead.
Calm Seas Tip: Love seafood? Don't hesitate to ask for an extra helping. At Calm Seas Travel, we can advise you on which cruise lines are most generous with your favorite dishes.
5. Carnival Chocolate Melting Cake
Why it’s a favorite:
The Chocolate Melting Cake is a legendary dessert, especially aboard Carnival Cruises. It’s warm, gooey, and oh-so-chocolaty, with a molten center that spills out as soon as you break through the cake’s exterior. Paired with a cool scoop of vanilla ice cream, it’s the ultimate indulgence for dessert lovers.
Calm Seas Tip: Our cruisers can’t stop raving about this dessert, and neither can we! Be sure to try it with ice cream and / or Peanut Butter to get the full experience—it’s a signature dish that Calm Seas Travel recommends on any Carnival cruise.
