Order with confidence after I introduce you to all the exotic ingredients on the menu at Raw on 5! ;)
If you're a seafood lover looking to indulge in some elegant and creative dining at sea, Raw on 5 is for you! But what if you're not into slimy oysters, raw fish on rice, or seafood in general? Don't worry! You can find hot plates sans seafood like Tonkotsu Ramen, Pork Belly Skewers, and Chicken Ginger Gyoza at Raw on 5. If you're vegetarian, Edamame and Miso Soup await you! :) Which Ships have Raw on 5?
Raw on 5 is available on Celebrity Edge Class Ships including Celebrity Edge, Celebrity Apex, Celebrity Ascent, and Celebrity Beyond.
Does Celebrity Xcel have Raw on 5? Great question! Celebrity Xcel will soon join the fleet of Edge Class Ships and while we can assume it will, hang tight for official word. ;) How much does Raw on 5 cost?
While some Specialty Dining restaurants have a cover charge which allows you to order anything from the menu, others are a la carte style. (Remember our Le Grand Bistro Review?)
Raw on 5 is a la carte style. This means you order off the menu like any restaurant you are used to on land and pay the price per item. This can make specialty dining more approachable as you may only want one specific item for $15 and wouldn't find a cover charge of $50 to be worth it.
On the other hand, some prefer a flat-fee cover charge as they feel more confident to step out of their comfort zone when ordering resting assured they can always add an order of something more "safe" if they don't like their adventurous choice.
Let's take a look at the prices on these sample menus! Pictures of Raw on 5 Menu with prices!Rolls & Nigiri - Celebrity Raw on 5 Menu
Raw & Barely Dressed - CELEBRITY RAW ON 5 MENU
With the likes of Sashimi, Oysters, and Tiradito, the Raw and Barely Dressed menu is not for the faint of heart.
What is Kakiage? It's a tempura Japanese dish. So on Celebrity Beyond you can have shrimp and scallop dipped in tempura batter and deep fried if you order the Shrimp and Scallop Kakiage. That sounds delicious!
What is Furikake? The Crispy Shrimp are seasoned with Furikake, a Japanese seasoning that is crunchy, salty, and a bit nutty/earthy. It usually includes dried fish, seaweed, salt and sugar. Furikake apparently means sprinkle in Japanese, as in "to sprinkle", but the seasoning is on the chunky side and really looks like savory sprinkles!

Celebrity's Raw on 5 Review
After doing a deep dive into the menus, I am really impressed with the offerings at Raw on 5. I think Celebrity has done a great job sharing some dishes that adventurous foodie passengers would find exotic and unique while still providing a number of options for their less daring travel buddies! ;)
I'm looking forward to trying Raw on 5 on my next Celebrity Cruise.

Buying a drinks package before your cruise is a top tip to save money on alcohol and other specialty beverages.
While Virgin doesn't technically have a "drinks package", their Bar Tab is Sailor Loot (onboard credit) specifically for beverages. You can only pre-purchase it and when you do you're going to get a top off which means free drinks! For example, if you set up a $300 Bar Tab for you and your friends, you'll get a total of $350 to spend! (Thats $50 free!) Traveling with a group and want to compound the savings? A $1000 Bar Tab will get you $250 in free drinks for a total of $1250 in drinks to share! Just be sure the person who has the bar tab is going to be willing and available to do all the ordering. Your virgin voyages travel agent will ensure you get the best Bar Tab Bonus Available! |
How much is a bottle of moet on virgin voyages?
Moet Chandon is the featured Champagne house onboard, but you can order champagne at all budgets. From a $9 glass to a $1,000 vintage bottle. how much is the shake for champagne?
Have something to celebrate?!
If you'd like the novel experience of shaking for champagne on the virgin voyages app, you can have a bottle of Moët Chandon Impérial delivered to you wherever you are on the ship for around $95. You can use your Bar Tab to pay for "Shake for Champagne". |
Does everyone in a room on a cruise have to buy a drink package?
Anyone who does opt to pre-load a Bar Tab can use it to buy drinks for anyone on the ship unlike other premium drink packages.
Do you tip bartenders on cruise with drink package?
virgin voyages drink package review
I really love the idea behind Virgin Voyage's drink package alternative. On so many cruise lines the beverage packages are so costly per day that cruisers are trying to "make it worth it" and as a result they over consume and the consequential behavior can negatively impact the cruise for other passengers.
Sure, we can all do the math on how much we paid for the package and how many drinks we need to drink to "break even", but is that a healthy way to operate? At what point are we no longer consuming for enjoyment but only to "get our moneys worth"? *shrug* Just saying...
Virgin Voyage's solution seems elegant. Offer more reasonable pricing, allow people to pre-pay to get added value yet still have the feeling of being able to order what they want onboard without getting a bill.
What do you think?
