Celebrity Specialty Dining Packages Explained
Learn how Celebrity specialty dining packages work, what to know about reservations and gratuities, and how to decide whether prepaying makes sense.
How Celebrity Specialty Dining Packages Work
Celebrity sells specialty dining packages that let guests prepay for multiple specialty-restaurant experiences rather than purchasing every meal separately. Restaurant availability and the exact package choices vary by ship and sailing.
Celebrity's specialty restaurants can include venues such as Eden Restaurant, Fine Cut Steakhouse, Le Voyage, Murano, Tuscan Grille, Raw on 5 and Le Petit Chef, depending on the ship.
Reservations Matter
A dining package does not make every restaurant and dining time automatically available. Celebrity advises guests to select their dining party and preferred time and, when needed, complete or amend additional reservations onboard. Popular restaurants and prime times can fill.
À La Carte Restaurants
Celebrity's current terms provide a dining credit at à la carte specialty restaurants for guests using dining packages. The amount and terms can change, so verify the current allowance for your sailing before treating the package as unlimited specialty dining.
Is a Celebrity Dining Package Worth It?
Start with the number of specialty meals you genuinely want. Then compare the package price with the restaurants you would otherwise book individually. A larger package is not a bargain if you end up using meals simply because you prepaid for them.
