Celebrity Cruises Dining Package — Specialty Restaurant Prices and What's Included
A $54 Murano dinner is actually $65. A $135 Chef's Table is $162. Celebrity adds 20% gratuity at checkout on all specialty dining — and most guides skip this detail entirely.
We track Celebrity dining prices daily across 14 ships. Here is what every specialty restaurant actually costs, which ones go on sale, and when the dining package saves money.
Quick Answer — Celebrity Specialty Dining Prices
| Restaurant | Price (pre-gratuity) | After 20% Gratuity |
|---|---|---|
| Chef's Table by Daniel Boulud | $135–$169 | $162–$203 |
| Omakase Dinner | $103–$116 | $124–$139 |
| Fine Cut Steakhouse | $58–$67 | $70–$80 |
| Murano / Tuscan Grille / Le Petit Chef | $49–$54 | $59–$65 |
| Sushi on 5 / Raw on 5 | $40 | $48 |
- 20% gratuity is added at checkout on all specialty dining — individual restaurants and packages alike.
- Most restaurants carry a perpetual 10% "PRE-CRUISE SAVINGS" discount. That is not a sale. That is the price.
- Sushi on 5 and Raw on 5 never go on sale. Budget items stay fixed.
- Prices are the cover charge, not the total bill. Beverages, wine pairings, and premium supplements cost extra. Sushi on 5 and Raw on 5 use a credit system ($50 dinner / $35 lunch toward menu items).
Every Celebrity Specialty Restaurant, Priced
This is part of our Celebrity cruise package pricing guide, which also covers beverage and WiFi packages across the fleet.
Not every restaurant is on every ship. Edge-class ships (Edge, Apex, Beyond, Ascent, Xcel) have exclusive venues you will not find on Solstice-class or Millennium-class ships. Xcel, the newest in the fleet, has restaurants that exist on no other ship.
Here is the full pricing breakdown, organized by price tier.
Premium Tier — $95 and Above
These are the marquee experiences. Multi-course, chef-driven, and priced accordingly.
| Restaurant | Price | Ships |
|---|---|---|
| Chef's Table by Daniel Boulud | $135–$169 | Most fleet |
| Dinner On the Edge | $116 | Edge-class |
| Omakase Dinner | $103–$116 | Select ships |
| Eden Tasting Menu | $96–$108 | Edge-class |
| Mosaic | $95 | Xcel only |
Mid-Tier — $40 to $80
This is where most cruisers spend. The $49-$54 cluster covers the most popular restaurants across the fleet.
| Restaurant | Price | Ships |
|---|---|---|
| Murano Tasting | $79–$108 | Select ships |
| Eden | $76 | Edge-class |
| Fine Cut Steakhouse | $58–$67 | Most fleet |
| Bora | $65 | Xcel only |
| Le Petit Chef | $54 | Select ships |
| Murano | $54 | Most fleet |
| Tuscan Grille | $49 | Most fleet |
| Lawn Club Grill | $45 | Reflection, Silhouette |
| Sushi on 5 | $40 | Most fleet |
| Raw on 5 | $40 | Most fleet |
| Rooftop Garden Grill | $36–$45 | Edge-class |
Budget Tier — Under $40
| Restaurant | Price | Ships |
|---|---|---|
| High Tea At Sea | $31–$35 | Select ships |
| The Porch | $27 | Reflection, Silhouette |
These prices are the cover charge — not the total bill. Most restaurants include a multi-course meal (appetizer, entree, dessert) in the cover charge. But beverages, wine pairings, and premium add-ons cost extra.
At Fine Cut, adding a second main course is $20 on top. Some venues like Sushi on 5 and Raw on 5 use a credit system instead — you get a $50 dinner credit toward menu items, and pay the difference if you exceed it.
After gratuity (20% on the cover charge), a mid-tier dinner for two at Tuscan Grille starts at $118 before drinks. Chef's Table for two starts at $324-$406. Add wine and the real total climbs higher.
Dining Packages vs. A La Carte
The dining package saves money if you are booking three mid-tier or higher restaurants. Below that, a la carte is cheaper. Celebrity offers multi-night packages on select ships:
| Package | Price (pre-gratuity) | After 20% Gratuity | Per-Night Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Night Specialty Dining (Summit) | $145 | $174 | $58/night |
| 4-Night Specialty Dining (Apex) | $216 | $259 | $65/night |
Three mid-tier restaurants a la carte (Murano, Tuscan Grille, Le Petit Chef) run $157 total. The 3-Night package at $145 saves $12.
Swap in a premium restaurant like Fine Cut and the a la carte total hits $170 — the package saves $25. But three budget picks (Sushi on 5, The Porch, one mid-tier) total $121 a la carte, well under the $145 package.
What Goes on Sale — and What Never Does
Chef's Table, Omakase, and Murano Tasting are the only restaurants that get real flash discounts. Everything else carries a permanent "10% PRE-CRUISE SAVINGS" tag that is not actually a sale — it is the standard price.
Celebrity Dining Sale Patterns
- Always "on sale" (10% off): Most specialty restaurants carry a perpetual pre-cruise discount. This is the baseline price.
- Flash sale targets (15-25% off): Chef's Table by Daniel Boulud, Omakase Dinner, and Murano Tasting are the restaurants most likely to see deeper discounts during promotional events.
- Never discounted: Sushi on 5, Raw on 5, and Mosaic (Xcel-exclusive) have shown zero discount activity in our tracking data. If you want these, book whenever — the price will not change.
- Lunch pricing: Restaurants that offer lunch seatings (like Sushi on 5) typically do not discount lunch differently from dinner. Same flat rate applies.
If you are eyeing Chef's Table or Omakase, it is worth checking the Cruise Planner periodically before your sailing. A 20% flash discount on a $169 Chef's Table saves $34 pre-gratuity — meaningful at that price point.
All Aboard Deals Pro tracks these prices daily and alerts you when flash discounts hit. We found similar patterns with Celebrity beverage package sales — including a Wednesday pricing dip worth checking.
How Celebrity Dining Compares to Royal Caribbean
The two lines share a parent company (Royal Caribbean Group), but their specialty dining approaches are fundamentally different.
| Category | Celebrity | Royal Caribbean |
|---|---|---|
| Steakhouse | Fine Cut: $58–$67 | Chops Grille: ~$46 avg |
| Chef's Table | $135–$169 | $85–$93 |
| Unlimited Dining Package | Not available | $35/night median ($20-$60 range) |
| Dining Package Option | 3-Night ($145) or 4-Night ($216) | 3, 5, or 10-Night + Unlimited |
| Gratuity | 20% added at checkout | 18% added at checkout |
The biggest difference is flexibility. Royal Caribbean offers an Unlimited Dining Package at a median of $35/night that covers a specialty restaurant every night of your cruise.
Celebrity does not have an equivalent — your options are a la carte or a fixed 3-Night or 4-Night package on select ships.
Celebrity's individual restaurant prices also run higher. Fine Cut Steakhouse costs $58-$67 versus RC's Chops Grille at roughly $46. Celebrity's Chef's Table experience runs $135-$169, nearly double RC's $85-$93.
Some of that reflects a different culinary positioning — Celebrity markets itself as the premium dining line. But the gap is real.
If specialty dining is a priority and you want to eat at a different restaurant every night, Royal Caribbean's Unlimited Dining Package gives you that flexibility at a lower per-night cost.
If you want two or three carefully chosen meals across a Celebrity sailing, the a la carte or 3-Night package approach works — just budget for the 20% gratuity on top.
Ship-Specific Restaurant Availability
Not every restaurant exists on every Celebrity ship. Your ship class determines what is available.
| Restaurant | Edge-class | Solstice-class | Millennium-class | Xcel |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Murano | Yes | Yes | Yes | -- |
| Tuscan Grille | Yes | Yes | Yes | -- |
| Fine Cut Steakhouse | Yes | Yes | Yes | -- |
| Le Petit Chef | Yes | Select | -- | -- |
| Sushi on 5 | Yes | Yes | Yes | -- |
| Raw on 5 | Yes | Yes | -- | -- |
| Chef's Table | Yes | Yes | Yes | -- |
| Eden / Eden Tasting | Yes | -- | -- | -- |
| Dinner On the Edge | Yes | -- | -- | -- |
| Rooftop Garden Grill | Yes | -- | -- | -- |
| Lawn Club Grill | -- | Select | -- | -- |
| The Porch | -- | Select | -- | -- |
| Mosaic | -- | -- | -- | Yes |
| Bora | -- | -- | -- | Yes |
Edge-class ships have the widest restaurant selection. Millennium-class ships (Millennium, Summit, Constellation, Infinity) have the fewest options but often the lowest individual restaurant prices.
Xcel stands alone with two exclusive concepts — Mosaic ($95) and Bora ($65) — that you cannot experience elsewhere.
The Gratuity Factor
The 20% gratuity adds $40-$80 to a couple's dining bill — and most people do not see it coming. Celebrity adds it at checkout on both individual restaurants and dining packages. Here is what two specialty dinners actually cost:
| Scenario | Pre-Gratuity | After 20% Gratuity |
|---|---|---|
| 2x Tuscan Grille (couple) | $196 | $235 |
| Murano + Fine Cut (couple) | $224–$242 | $269–$290 |
| Chef's Table for two | $270–$338 | $324–$406 |
The Cruise Planner shows pre-gratuity prices. Factor in the 20% before you budget.
How to Decide What to Book
Most cruisers only need 1-2 specialty dinners — do not overbuy. Check which restaurants are on your ship first. Edge-class ships have 10+ options. Millennium-class ships have 5-6.
If you are planning three or more specialty dinners and your ship offers a dining package, run the a la carte total and compare. The 3-Night package at $145 breaks even against three restaurants averaging $48 each — so if any of your picks costs $54 or more, the package likely saves money.
If you are planning one or two splurge meals, skip the package entirely. Book a la carte and watch for flash discounts on the premium restaurants.
For WiFi and drink packages, the same logic applies — buy what you will actually use, not what sounds like a deal. Our cross-line break-even analysis covers when beverage packages make sense.
How We Track This Data
We monitor Celebrity Cruise Planner prices daily across 14 ships, capturing 39 unique dining products. Our dataset includes 11,872 dining price records — more than any other Celebrity package category we track. Prices reflect what Celebrity lists in the Cruise Planner before gratuity.
We have roughly 35 days of Celebrity dining tracking history. As our tracking window grows, we will update this guide with deeper trend analysis and more granular sale detection patterns.
Cruise Price Tracker scores every Celebrity fare 0-100 based on 2.6M+ price snapshots — so you know whether the cabin price is fair before you start adding dining packages on top.
