Please help! I would like to know which restaurants charge & how much the charges are. And then, which eating venues are free. Thanks for your help.

OP-Dave did a stellar job at informing everyone about these things on his "Everything Royal" thread. Just search those terms.

Dinner at Crown Grill is $25pp.

Dinner at Sabatinis is $25pp.

3 scoops of gelato at Gelatos are $2.75 any way you'd like 'em.

 

Pretty much all other eating venues are included in your fare. Bon Appetit!

The Crab Shack and Fondues are not separate venues but are offered on several evenings in a closed off portion of the Horizon Court. There is a charge of $20 for these two meals.

The Ocean Terrace Seafood bar is an extra charge.

The Crab Shack and Fondues are not separate venues but are offered on several evenings in a closed off portion of the Horizon Court. There is a charge of $20 for these two meals.

So, we're going beyond the OP's request of eating venues that charge extra? OK.

 

I believe it's the Ocean Terrace Bar on Deck 7, facing the atrium, that offers a number of tasty seafood tidbits available for an extra charge.

 

The SeaView Bar on 16 has a Crab Margarita that's not a margarita at all. Really a very tasty crab cocktail for about $6.

 

Swirls (the ice cream stand) on 16 sells boxes of movie candy for $1.95 during MUTS.

 

Pizza ordered by room service is $3 per order.

 

I'm sure I've missed some. And I'm just as sure you'll fill us in. ;)

Alfredo's is free/included and marvelous.

I read somewhere that the afternoon tea offers a larger menu for an upscale price?

The Royal Afternoon Tea (ask for details at Vines) is $10pp, a bit more ($15pp?) with champagne. It's conducted in the seating area in the atrium under Bellini's and limited to approximately 24 guests. There is a hostess that will go over all of the details with you during the event, as well as describe the specialty blends of teas you are enjoying. The finger foods are much larger and of higher quality. I rather quite enjoyed it myself, although some prefer the complimentary afternoon tea conducted in the Symphony Dining Room.

 

When asked the difference between the two events offered, the complimentary afternoon tea and the Royal Afternoon Tea, this was my response:

 

The regular version involved several waiters walking around with large platters of small finger sandwiches etc. and pots of standard brewed tea that came from a very large stainless container, and everyone was seated in masse at the large tables in the MDR. It was more like a gathering than it was a true social event, and the noise level got a little high with all those in that section of the MDR talking at once.

 

The Royal version was by far a lot more intimate, seating was at small tables and couches for 2 or 4 people, and had a much higher quality of larger finger sandwiches and scones served on a tiered display with each table (usually just two people) getting their own individual assortment of tiered goodies, as well as three different types of herbal and specially brewed teas. This was served by one or two dedicated waiters and a hostess (Carmen) that gave details during the event. Each guest was given a ribbon-tied scroll of the event.

 

Both offered unlimited refills of sandwiches and beverages if desired. Either one would be fine depending on whether it would be worth it for someone to pay the $10 for the enhanced version and how many people you wanted to socialize with during tea.

Also, with any drink order off of their menu, you can get a complimentary sampler plate. It was all VERY tasty!!!

My experience from Fondues:

 

Fondues was an interesting 90 minute experience. After an appetizer of German Potato Pancakes with cured salmon came the 'main course' Champagne and Swiss Cheese fondue with chicken, bratwurst, and baguette dippers, followed by a 'desert' of Chocolate Fondue with choux puffs, strawberries, marshmallows, and pineapple. Included was a large shot of (very strong) Kirschwasser cherry brandy. It was very filling and quite tasty. You could get refills on the food bowls if you wanted.
