Cucina del Capitano

Lunch: complimentary pasta bar. Dinner: $18/adult most ships; free first visit then $8/person on Excel Class (Celebration, Jubilee, Mardi Gras); select Il Viaggio items carry an added charge

For families: The free lunchtime pasta bar is the real family value here; a toddler who eats plain buttered noodles can build their own bowl for nothing, no reservation required.
