Royal Caribbean Food Review: Everything I Ate on a 4-Night Independence of the Seas Cruise With Photos

In this cruise food review we share lots of main dining room food photos from a Royal Caribbean 4 night weekend cruise.


Main Dining Room Breakfast on Independence of the Seas

We usually love to order room service for breakfast and have a hot pot of coffee, some pastries, fresh fruit, and yogurt delivered right to our cabin – for free on Royal Caribbean! 

But we also like to head down to the main dining room at least one day of the cruise.

Indian Food on Royal Caribbean

Some of the most flavorful food on any Royal Caribbean cruise we have been on has consistently been the Indian food – it’s so, so good!

While I found the naan to be just okay, the actual curry has been incredible any time I ordered it. 🤩

Book an Independence of the Seas Cruise!

I hope this cruise food blog has whet your appetite for your upcoming Royal Caribbean cruise!

Dining on a cruise is such a fun aspect for most cruisers, presumably including yourself if you’ve made it this far (thanks!) but I also love sharing cruise food photos because they can help give you some inspiration for home cooking & dinner parties too!
