Hidden Dining Gems on Star of the Seas

When people think of dining on a cruise, the buffet usually comes to mind first. On Star of the Seas, the Windjammer buffet is a hub of activity, with endless choices and something for everyone. But the real magic of dining on this ship lies in the hidden dining gems — the smaller spots that many first-time cruisers overlook.

One of the best-kept secrets is Park Café, nestled in the ship’s Central Park neighborhood. Here, you’ll find their signature roast beef sandwiches, a cult favorite among loyal cruisers. It’s the kind of meal you’ll crave again before your cruise is over.


Then there’s El Loco Fresh, serving up tacos, nachos, and burritos — all included in your fare and perfect for a quick, flavorful lunch between activities.


Pearl Café, meanwhile, has become a new favorite. Not only does it offer pizza and snacks around the clock, but it also has a prime location that makes it a great meet-up spot.


And for late-night cravings, Café Promenade is open well into the night with desserts, sandwiches, and hot bites ready to grab on the go.

The key to dining on Star of the Seas is to think beyond “three meals a day.” Instead, make it a food adventure. Try smaller bites at multiple venues throughout the day rather than overloading at the buffet. You’ll discover more flavors, enjoy less stress, and never feel like you missed out.

And don’t forget — while these hidden dining gems are complimentary, the ship also offers specialty dining experiences that can elevate your trip even further. From steakhouses to international flavors, the variety is endless. But the best part? Some of the most satisfying meals you’ll have on Star of the Seas are already included in your fare — you just need to know where to look.
