If the cruise stops at various European countries then yes, the opportunity will be available to sample the various local cuisines of Europe. Usually the menu on cruise ships is pretty standard though.
The main difference between dining in and dining out lies in the location and experience. Dining in refers to eating meals at home, where individuals have control over the menu, preparation, and ambiance. In contrast, dining out involves eating at restaurants or cafes, offering a social atmosphere and the convenience of ready-made food, but typically at a higher cost. Each experience caters to different preferences and occasions.

As a crew member aboard ships in Hawaii, I offer the following advice: First, check your cruise paperwork for what's included on your particular cruise line's fare. Generally speaking, your cruise fare includes the following food & beverages: Coffee, Tea (hot or iced), Milk, Juices (during breakfast only) and filtered water. Food includes the buffet (soups, salads, entrees, carving stations and dessert bars), generally 1 or 2 'main dining rooms' which offer unique menus each evening for traditional sit-down dining, 24-hour room service, with a very limited menu and (depending on the ship) a burger bar, a pizza parlor and the occasional pool-side BBQ - usually at a sail-away party out on deck. Many ships are offering alternative dining in addition to these free options, usually based on a cover charge for all-you-can-eat. These restaturants could include: Chinese, French, Italian, Japanese. Sushi, a Steak House and more. Cover charges generally range from $5 to $25 per guest (for a meal that would run you easily $60 at a land based resort!). These cover charges are necessary as the smaller specialty restaurants cannot accept the volume of guests that the main (free) dining rooms can offer. Additionally, the food and dining experience are of a premium quality, and therefore should be worth every penny of the small cover charge required. (I personally only dine at Specialty Dining restaurants, and don't partake of the Main Dining Rooms for dinner). Last word of advice - make your dining reservations as soon as you get on board. They fill up fast, and you can always cancel them! Happy sailing and bon appetite!
Menu sequence refers to the order in which dishes are presented in a meal. Typically, a traditional menu sequence starts with appetizers or starters, followed by soups, salads, main courses, and concludes with desserts. This structured progression enhances the dining experience by allowing flavors to build and transition smoothly throughout the meal. Variations may exist depending on cultural practices or the type of dining event.
A prix fixe menu is a dining option where a restaurant offers a set menu at a fixed price, typically including multiple courses such as an appetizer, main dish, and dessert. This format allows diners to enjoy a curated selection of dishes without worrying about individual prices for each item. Prix fixe menus are often used for special occasions or in fine dining establishments to streamline the dining experience. They may also include options for wine pairings or additional courses at varying prices.

what is casual dining restaurant? A casual dining restaurant is a restaurant that serves moderately-priced food in a casual atmosphere. Except for buffet-style restaurants, casual dining restaurants typically provide table service. Casual dining comprises a market segment between fast food establishments and fine dining restaurants. Casual dining restaurants usually have a full bar with separate bar staff, a larger beer menu and a limited wine menu. They are frequently, but not necessarily, part of a wider chain, particularly in the United States
Whatever is listed and priced separately on a menu is supposed to be what is included in à la carte dining. The pronunciation of the feminine singular prepositional phrase -- which literally means "according to the menu" -- will be "a la kart" in French.
