Diamond complimentary specialty dining.

The wife has just hit Diamond status, we are sailing in YC for the first time on Virtuosa in June, is it worth skipping a YC dinner for one of the speciality restaurants. We are only doing 5 nights and as we haven't done YC before not sure whether to miss one of the dinners or not.

I would say no it’s not worth missing dinner on a 5 day cruise.

 

You can however do lunch instead which is a nice way to try one of the speciality restaurants. Your butler can arrange this for you once onboard.

We were on Meraviglia in October on an 11 night cruise in YC. We ate at the steakhouse one night, and the filet mignon was delicious, a thicker cut than those served in YC. We also checked the  menu in YC to make sure we weren’t missing one of our favorite dishes!

This is exactly what we did on our December Seascape cruise.  Lunch at Butcher's Cut was delicious and there were very few other diners.

You can always eat twice....

 

I'd try something different that you can't get in the YC, like the asian or tacos.

Butcher’s Cut is excellent and definitely worth trying, whether for lunch or dinner.

Assuming the Diamond meal a set menu, can you upgrade your steak at Butchers Cut?

I believe you can choose an entree off the a la carte menu and pay half price for it (excluding the tomahawk steak).
