Star of the Seas dining guide: AquaDome, Lincoln Park and family meals
Choose Star of the Seas restaurants with a practical guide to included food, AquaDome Market, Lincoln Park Supper Club and family dining priorities.
Jump to a section
Star of the Seas has enough included food variety that its most useful dining decision is how much of the evening you want to devote to a restaurant. A food-hall lunch and a served Main Dining Room dinner can already feel very different. Lincoln Park Supper Club adds a separate premium occasion, with a much bigger claim on your schedule and budget.
Start with your group’s appetite for long meals, entertainment and trying new cuisines. Then choose one or two experiences deliberately. Star shares several restaurant names with Icon, but its signature supper club and its food-hall details deserve their own check rather than a copied plan from the sister ship.
What matters for your decision
- Lincoln Park Supper Club is Star’s signature premium dinner experience.
- AquaDome Market, Surfside Eatery and other casual food provide a strong included plan.
- Plan around cuisine and meal length; a restaurant count does not tell you which reservation your family needs.
Which restaurants are included on Star of the Seas?
Royal’s Star dining guide identifies AquaDome Market, the Main Dining Room, Windjammer, Pearl Café and family-focused Surfside food among the ship’s choices. AquaDome’s stalls bring different cuisines together; Royal’s current food-hall page lists barbecue, Thai, South American, Mediterranean and crêpe concepts. Confirm the current Star counter menu before promising a particular dish to your party.

Lincoln Park's jazz dinner and Star's food-hall counters
Lincoln Park Supper Club pairs a multicourse dinner with live jazz and cocktails in a Chicago-inspired setting. Royal's dish examples include crab ravioli, lamb with mushrooms and walleye with vegetables. The venue lists formal attire. Check your reservation's menu, drink inclusions and running time when arranging the rest of the evening.
Star's AquaDome Market has Mai Thai for noodles, La Cocinita for arepas, Pig Out BBQ for smoked meats, Feta Mediterranean for pitas and bowls, and Crème de la Crêpe. The included counters let the group choose different cuisines and share a table.
Use the Star-specific restaurant guide to compare these counters with Icon's, then check the onboard menu for that day's dishes and service hours. For a private group meal, Celebration Table is another paid option: Royal describes a dining experience for 14 with family-style menus.
Book Lincoln Park if dinner and live music are the priority
Compare Lincoln Park's menu and formal setting with the group before reserving. For a conventional restaurant evening, Chops offers steak, Hooked seafood and Giovanni's Italian food. Izumi's grill seating is another option when cooking at the table is part of the appeal.
Families spending much of the day in Surfside can get more practical value from nearby included meals than from crisscrossing the ship to use a package. Pier 7 becomes more appealing when the group specifically wants table service there. Compare its current family and child terms before deciding it is either the cheapest choice or an unnecessary expense.
Coordinate Star dinners with shows and excursions
If you reserve Lincoln Park, leave that part of the evening clear and choose a flexible lunch beforehand. On port days, check afternoon counter hours before relying on AquaDome after an excursion. Surfside and the Royal Promenade provide other convenient places to look for a meal as you return to shipboard activities.
Royal's suite-tier rules give Sky and Star guests all-day Coastal Kitchen access and access to The Grove. Sea-tier guests can request Coastal Kitchen dinner, subject to availability and a reservation; that does not include The Grove. Confirm your assigned tier before counting either venue in the dining budget.
Your decision checklist
- Check Lincoln Park’s attire, inclusions and cancellation terms.
- Use Star’s own AquaDome Market counter list rather than Icon’s.
Questions travelers ask
Can I eat on Star of the Seas without paying for specialty restaurants?
Yes. Star offers the Main Dining Room, Windjammer, AquaDome Market, Surfside food and other included casual venues. Restaurant food inclusion does not automatically include all beverages, premium dishes or delivery.
Which Star of the Seas restaurant should I book first?
Prioritize Lincoln Park Supper Club only if its dinner-and-entertainment format is central to your trip. Otherwise reserve the cuisine and time slot that matter most, then build flexible included meals around it.
Does Star of the Seas have the same food-hall menu as Icon?
Do not assume so. Star’s AquaDome Market has its own listed counter concepts, including La Cocinita, Pig Out BBQ and Mai Thai. Use Star’s current menu rather than an Icon review.
