A Closer Look at Hooked – Royal Caribbean’s Delicious Seafood Restaurant
A closer look at Hooked Seafood, Royal Caribbean Cruise Line's delicious Seafood Restaurant onboard several ships throughout the fleet.
One of the most important aspects of a cruise for many Royal Caribbean guests is the onboard dining. Having a variety of options to choose from for breakfast, lunch, and dinner is a game-changer, especially on longer cruises. Royal has always done dining well, with a wide range of dining options that can be found across their entire fleet. One of the most popular eateries found on several Royal ships is Hooked Seafood.
Hooked is reminiscent of an East Coast chowder house where you can enjoy fresh and delicious seafood with friends. Begin your meal with a tray of oysters from the wet bar, paired with delicious lemon juice and condiments. For your main course enjoy whole main lobster, or the captain recommended Royal Seafood Platter that includes: battered deep-fried cod, crab, prawns, mussels, and scallops served with delectable cajun fries. And don’t forget to order the coconut cream pie as a finisher.
