One of Royal Caribbean's most expensive meal at sea costs about $100 per person — but is specialty dining actually worth it? I break down all 5 courses, 5 wine pairings, and the honest "cruise math" so you can decide before you book. In this cruise food review, I take you through the full Chef's Table experience aboard Royal Caribbean's Rhapsody of the Seas — the most exclusive dining experience on the ship. We paid $80 per person with the promotion we got (regular price is ~$100), and I walk you through every course: 🍅 Smoked tomato soup 🦞 Maine lobster salad 🐟 Roasted branzino (plus how we got a menu substitution for my niece) 🥩 Grilled filet mignon — the course that almost beat Capital Grille 🍫 "The World" chocolate globe dessert Plus all 5 wine pairings, what it's like dining with strangers when you're an introvert, and the drink-package math that makes this a genuine steal.
