I spent every week consuming my method by means of one of many world’s largest cruise ships. Years later, I nonetheless crave these 10 dishes. | Invesloan.com

Wonder of the Seas has some restaurants that are complimentary as part of the cruise rate, while specialty dining incurs an additional cost.

For the latter, guests often pay a cover charge for a three-course meal. I made reservations at five specialty restaurants. I recommend booking your reservation as soon as possible, because the cost tends to rise the longer you wait.

The main dining room is complimentary for guests and serves breakfast and a three-course dinner each day.

The shrimp was juicy and had great flavor. The rice was sticky, which I like, and the asparagus and tomatoes were well-seasoned.

A delicious berry compote on top paired nicely with maple syrup. Two crispy strips of bacon added a savory crunch to each bite. This was my favorite breakfast of the whole trip.

It’s included for guests and serves a selection of meats, cheeses, and toppings, like pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream.

The queso had great texture and flavor. The bar had every topping I could want, satisfying my Tex-Mex craving on the ship.

I paid $55 for a three-course dinner here.

It was an eclectic mix of textures and flavors, yet it blended perfectly in my mouth.

On a plant-filled outdoor deck, 150 Central Park served a variety of meat, seafood, and other “locally sourced ingredients,” according to Royal Caribbean. I had a three-course dinner for $50.

The dessert was soft, fluffy, and light, with a cream cheese filling. Caramelized popcorn, whipped cream, and a Nutella drizzle complemented it perfectly, making it even more satisfying than the main course.

The menu draws inspiration from Maine to Maryland. I paid $53 for a three-course dinner.

The toasted roll was generously loaded with thick chunks of lobster and a layer of crisp lettuce. I squeezed the grilled lemon across the top and bit into the refreshing mess of a sandwich. It reminded me of lobster rolls I’ve had back home on the East Coast.

I took one bite, and it was easy to see why it came highly recommended. The lemon custard was tangy with a bit of sweetness, and it filled up a flaky, buttery crust. It was the best lemon tart I’ve ever had.

I booked a three-course dinner at the Mason Jar for $40, and everything I ordered made my top 10 list.

I ordered the crab beignets appetizer at the Mason Jar. Although I’d never had one before, I love crab, and I love beignets. So I gave it a try.

They were the perfect texture — soft and fluffy with a crisp outer layer. The crab flavor was subtle, with cinnamon on top for an interesting twist. The accompanying crap dip was refreshing, too.

The chicken was tender and well-seasoned, with a crispy outer layer. The sides had good flavor as well.

Called “Gone Bananas,” the dessert consisted of layers of vanilla pudding and graham cracker crumbs inside a jar. It was topped with brûléed bananas, whipped cream, and toffee. The dessert was fluffy, light, and rich in banana flavor.

It was a fitting ending to my favorite meal of the trip.

While the specialty restaurants served delicious dishes, I thought the food quality was just as high in the main dining room, where I ate only twice.

But I’d absolutely pay to go back to The Mason Jar for all three standout courses.
