What’s The Difference Between Free Dining And Speciality Dining?
Apart from the obvious, that one is free of charge and one isn’t, speciality dining on Allure of the Seas offers an upscale experience, which feels special and a bit unique.
However, whilst I personally adore trying different speciality dining options, I wouldn’t book it for my entire cruise. The dining rooms included in the price of a Royal Caribbean Cruise are fabulous, the waiters go above and beyond to make your dining experience special, they are accommodating and wonderful with children. They just can’t do enough for you.
Honestly, don’t underestimate Royal Caribbean main dining, we have never had a bad meal, a wrong food choice maybe? But never ever a bad meal. But it’s always great to try out 2 or 3 specialty dining options.

Yes, you will find free frozen yoghurt on deck 15, where you can enjoy unlimited ice cream. You will also find soft scoop ice cream or frozen yoghurt carts at intervals around the pool, and Ice cream is served the the Windjammer and main dining rooms free of charge.

Where Can You Get Coffee And Tea?
Coffee and tea is served in the restaurants, and Windjammer on Allure of the Seas, and you have a choice of free tea and coffee of can pay extra in the restaurants for speciality coffees.
The cafe promenade on deck 5 is the best place to head for free tea and coffee throughout the day. It’s also a idea to take a flask mug, then you can get a takeout, there are paper cups, however I do like to pour a coffee and go for a wander, a flask mug keeps it warm. Also check out the room service menus for tea and coffee.
If Starbucks is your thing there is also a Starbucks on deck 5 at an extra cost.
There are often tea and coffee facilities in your cabin too, however this depends on the sailing.
