Celebrity Cruises Dining Package — Specialty Restaurant Prices and What's Included
Celebrity specialty dining runs $27 to $169 per person — and the 20% gratuity at checkout is the part nobody quotes. Full per-restaurant pricing inside.
That $54 Murano dinner is really $65 once Celebrity adds its 20% gratuity at checkout — a surcharge on every specialty meal that's easy to miss until it's on your bill.
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
TL;DR| 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.
So if you're wondering what Celebrity Edge specialty restaurants cost, or what Celebrity Beyond specialty restaurants run, the answer is the same for both: they're Edge-class sister ships that share the lineup and pricing below. The venue sets the cost, not the hull — a Chef's Table dinner is priced the same on Edge, Apex, Beyond, and Ascent.
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.
Tracking from outside the US? Set your home currency first — CAD, GBP, EUR or AUD — so a flash-discount alert is a real one and not just the exchange rate moving against the dollar. Here's how.
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 isn't price — it's flexibility. Royal Caribbean's Unlimited Dining Package lets you eat at a specialty restaurant every night of the cruise for one flat per-night rate. Celebrity has no equivalent: your only options are a la carte or a fixed 3-Night or 4-Night package on select ships.
Celebrity's individual restaurants also run higher across the board — as the table shows, both its steakhouse and its Chef's Table sit well above Royal Caribbean's. Some of that is positioning; Celebrity markets itself as the premium dining line. But the gap is real.
So the choice comes down to how you like to eat. Want a different restaurant every night? Royal Caribbean's Unlimited package delivers that at a lower per-night cost. Prefer two or three carefully chosen meals on a Celebrity sailing? A la carte or the 3-Night package works — just remember the 20% gratuity lands 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.
