Today’s Royal Caribbean breakfast and lunch menus come with one of my best pieces of cruise advice, for both newbie cruisers and cruise veterans: Book more cruises!
Okay, now that we have that taken care of (hopefully you booked a Royal Caribbean cruise so you can enjoy these menus), here’s another piece of advice: Consider eating breakfast and lunch in your ship’s main dining room instead of at the buffet. Why, you ask? Because it’s quiet and relaxed (i.e. not crowded), delicious, and you get to be served. Many, many cruisers, both novice and pro, overlook the dining room as an option for breakfast and lunch. And that’s a mistake. I encourage everyone to give it a try, at least once, to see how it compares to the buffet.
I especially recommend eating breakfast in the dining room on debarkation day as the buffet will be mobbed. Enjoy one final relaxed, sit-down meal before exiting the ship and returning to real life (boo, hiss, groan).
A few cautions though – while nearly every ship will offer breakfast in the dining room, not all will offer lunch (either at all or every day). Royal Caribbean ships usually only offer lunch on sea days and not on days you are at port.
Obviously eating breakfast and lunch in the dining room will take longer (although it’s usually not crowded and service is normally fast), so be sure to budget extra time.
Also, keep in mind that he below menus are from a sailing on Ovation of the Seas in October 2021. While the breakfast menu on Royal Caribbean is generally standard across the fleet, the lunch menus may vary depending on your exact ship and itinerary. But these should give you a good idea of what to expect.
One final warning: If you aren’t hungry now, you’re about to be! So with that, here are the 2021 breakfast and lunch menus on Royal Caribbean:
Okay, who’s starving? Distract yourself with a little retail therapy. Get your Cruise Ship Calories Don’t Count t-shirt here and your Prescription Cruise mug here.

And with that…
