Do Royal Caribbean's restaurants have kids menus?

Yes, but not every dining venue handles kids the same way. The Main Dining Room has a dedicated kids' menu, most specialty restaurants offer one, and many casual venues simply serve food that kids already recognize as food rather than requiring a separate children's menu. The Main Dining Room is the easiest answer. Its kids' menu typically includes comfort-food favorites such as chicken tenders, burgers, pizza, pasta, and other familiar choices. Kids can usually order from the children's menu or the regular menu, which is handy when one child wants mac and cheese and the other suddenly declares themselves a steakhouse critic. Specialty restaurants generally have children's options as well. Depending on the restaurant, kids may have a dedicated menu or age-specific dining options. Pricing and policies can vary, so check the restaurant details for your ship before promising the family a night at Chops. Then there are the casual and complimentary venues, where a separate kids' menu often isn't necessary. Windjammer is a buffet, so kids can simply grab pancakes, waffles, burgers, pasta, pizza, fruit, or whatever looks good that day. Sorrento's, El Loco Fresh, the Dog House, Johnny Rockets, and Playmakers are similarly built around foods that tend to pass the kid test. Some venues even have specific children's offerings. And don't be afraid to ask. If your child walks into a restaurant, looks at the menu, and suddenly decides they have never eaten anything more complicated than a chicken nugget, ask your server what they can do. Royal Caribbean is used to feeding families. Don't plan your cruise around finding a separate kids' menu at every restaurant. The Main Dining Room and most specialty restaurants have you covered, while the casual venues make it easy to find kid-friendly food without a menu labeled "Children." On a Royal Caribbean ship, the real challenge isn't finding something a kid will eat. It's convincing them to try something they haven't already eaten three times this week.
