Is it true that on the first night on the cruise that the speciality restaurants are half price? Did anyone have difficulty getting a reservation lately?
No not true. However, if you know what nights that you want to eat reserve them AS SOON AS YOU GET ON BOARD!!! The best times fill up fast. I dined at the Bistro and the Steakhouse. Both were very good and worth the extra charge. Remember, you can eat as much as you like there as well, so order the best! Enjoy!!
I was just on the Star (to Alaska) this past summer. All of the specialty restaurants were great, but I really enjoyed the steakhouse and the japanese restaurants the most. You can't really go wrong though.
