Royal Caribbean Main Dining Room Brunch Menu
Royal Caribbean’s Main Dining Room brunch combines traditional breakfast favorites with lunch-style dishes, giving guests a broader selection than a standard cruise breakfast. The menu ranges from eggs, pancakes and French toast to steak frites, burgers, seafood and desserts.
There are also premium selections available for an additional charge, along with brunch cocktails and other beverages.
The Royal Caribbean brunch menu shown below is useful for passengers who want to see the actual Main Dining Room food choices before their cruise. Menus, prices and availability can change by ship and sailing, so consider this a real-world example rather than a guarantee of what will be offered on every Royal Caribbean cruise.
Royal Caribbean Brunch Menu
The menu begins with an assortment of fresh-baked goods before moving into several sections: From the Pantry, Breakfast Favorites, Hearty Mains, Premium Selection, Desserts and Beverages.
This makes the brunch considerably more substantial than simply ordering a late breakfast. Guests can choose something light, stick with traditional morning dishes or order a full lunch-style entrée.
From the Pantry
The lighter portion of the Royal Caribbean brunch menu includes several options that can work as starters or smaller meals.
Seasonal Fruit Plate features a selection of fresh hand-cut fruit.
Granola Parfait comes with a choice of plain, blueberry or strawberry yogurt layered with berries and topped with crunchy granola.
The Cheese and Charcuterie Plate includes artisan cheeses and cured meats accompanied by pickles, fig and date chutney and a toasted baguette.
Other selections include an Iceberg Wedge with bacon and blue cheese dressing, Caesar Salad with the option to add grilled chicken or shrimp, and a rich Baked Potato Soup topped with cheddar cheese, bacon, sour cream and fresh chives.
Breakfast Favorites
Guests looking for a more traditional cruise breakfast have several familiar choices.
Eggs Your Way includes two farm-fresh eggs prepared in your preferred style with crispy bacon, sausage links, hash browns and white or wheat toast.
The Omelet can be ordered with cheese, ham and cheese or vegetarian fillings and is served with hash browns and toast.
The Classic Benedict consists of two poached eggs, Canadian bacon and hollandaise sauce on a toasted English muffin, accompanied by hash browns.
Another option is the NY Bagel & Lox, featuring smoked Atlantic salmon with cucumber, pickled onions, arugula and cream cheese on a plain or everything bagel.
For something sweeter, the menu offers French Toast made with thick-cut brioche and served with berries, whipped cream and maple syrup.
Buttermilk Pancakes are available plain or with blueberry, banana or chocolate chips.
Hearty Brunch Entrées
The brunch menu becomes much more lunch-oriented in the Hearty Mains section.
Roasted Atlantic Cod is accompanied by roasted cauliflower, sautéed spinach, toasted pine nuts and caper vinaigrette.
Fried Chicken and Waffles pairs fried chicken with homemade waffles and a side of Tabasco-infused honey.
The Royal Burger features a quarter-pound Angus patty on a brioche bun with lettuce, tomato, pickles, fried onions, cheddar cheese and special sauce, accompanied by fries.
Steak Frites combines grilled sirloin with creamy béarnaise sauce and crispy truffle fries.
A Butternut Squash Risotto rounds out the section with creamy arborio rice, roasted butternut squash, sage and brown butter.
With breakfast, seafood, burgers, steak and chicken all appearing on the same menu, the Main Dining Room brunch offers considerably more variety than guests might expect from a conventional breakfast service.
Royal Caribbean Brunch Premium Selections and Prices
In addition to the regular menu, Royal Caribbean offers several premium dishes for an additional charge.
The Maine Lobster Roll is listed at $16 and consists of creamy chilled lobster and chives served warm on a top-cut brioche bun.
The Grilled Angus Steak Burger is $12 and comes on a brioche bun with melted Gruyère, smoked bacon and truffle sauce. Guests can add grilled lobster for another $16.
Surf and Turf is also listed at $16 and combines grilled shrimp with grilled petit filet and a selection of sauce.
These prices are those printed on the photographed menu and may change. Check the menu available during your sailing for current pricing.
Desserts
Brunch does not end with breakfast food.
The dessert section includes Royal Chocolate Cake, with layers of dark chocolate cake and chocolate mousse.
Key Lime Pie features tangy key lime custard in a brown-butter graham cracker crust.
Coconut Layer Cake consists of coconut sponge cake, coconut whipped cream and raspberry sauce.
Ice cream is available in vanilla, strawberry or chocolate, and the menu notes that a no-sugar-added ice cream is also available.
Brunch Drinks and Cocktails
The beverage section includes juices such as orange, apple, tomato, V8, prune and cranberry.
Regular and decaffeinated coffee, a selection of teas and hot chocolate are also listed.
For guests interested in a brunch cocktail, the photographed menu shows:
Mimosa – $12
Bloody Mary – $12
Espresso Martini – $14
Fresh-squeezed orange juice is listed at $3.50.
Because beverage pricing and drink-package inclusions can change, guests should check their onboard menu or the Royal Caribbean app for the terms and prices applicable to their sailing.
Is Royal Caribbean Main Dining Room Brunch Worth Trying?
The biggest advantage of the Main Dining Room brunch is variety.
Someone wanting breakfast can order eggs, Benedict, pancakes or French toast, while another person at the same table can have a burger, cod, steak frites or risotto.
It can therefore be a particularly appealing dining option on a day when passengers have enough time for a longer sit-down meal rather than grabbing something quickly elsewhere on the ship.
The menu also gives passengers an opportunity to enjoy the Main Dining Room outside the traditional dinner experience.
Regular Menu vs. Premium Selections
It is important to distinguish between the regular brunch dishes and the separately priced premium selections.
The photographed menu specifically displays additional prices for the Maine Lobster Roll, Grilled Angus Steak Burger and Surf and Turf. The standard sections of the menu do not display individual food prices.
Passengers interested in premium dishes should check the current onboard menu before ordering, since prices and offerings can change.
