New to RC...what exactly is in the fare price?

[winterblue]

Sorry for basic questions, but I just can't seem to dig this out. This is a company trip, so I have not personally spoken to an RC agent.

 

I see all these packages for meal plans. Is there a main dining room open for all meals that is part of our fare? And/or a buffet? Is it really needed to eat in a specialty restaurant?

 

And on CoCo Can....are there just chairs on the beach to use or do you have to purchase this special day thing? And I assume there is lunch on the island?

 

We have enjoyed cruising Carnival, and are l9king forward to experiencing a different line/ship....just trying to figure out details!

 

Thanks....

Main dining room and the buffet are complimentary on all ships.  On some ships there is also a Solarium Bistro that is complimentary 

 

CocoCay has beach chairs free of charge and there are several places for free lunch.

If you choose to eat in a specialty restaurant there is a fee. You can have a great cruise, with good food without ever entering a specialty eatery.

Depending on the ship there are multiple venues for food included in the price of the cruise.

Thanks! I was beginning to worry that "the main dining room" style of cruising was no longer a thing.

Still around, but on it's way out.
