Kickin’ & Pickin’ Chicken
Fried and roasted chicken sandwiches, tenders, drumsticks and a run of sauces — one of two High Tide counters you won’t find on Paradise’s version of the hall.
01
Beachcomber dining, the short version
Two new food-hall counters, two new paid restaurants, one suite menu.
Most of what you’ll eat is in the fare: two main dining rooms, a five-counter food hall, tacos, burgers and a sandwich shop.
The paid side has four restaurants, and JWB is the only one with a published price — $55, gratuity in. Floridays, F&L Trattoria and Far Side Sushi are priced per item, and the line hasn’t posted those prices.
Suite guests get a suite-exclusive dinner menu in the main dining rooms — a menu, not a private restaurant.

Sixteen concepts, sorted by what you pay
Seventeen cards: the sixteen concepts, with the two main dining rooms shown separately. No scores on any of them — there’s nothing to rate until she sails.
Sun Baked BBQ
Wood-smoked pulled pork, sausage and sides, at the other counter that’s new to the fleet’s food-hall lineup.
Provisions Salads & More
Salads, grilled proteins, breads and sides, rotating daily. The lighter plate in the hall.
Slice of Paradise
Desserts, from handmade layered cakes to chocolate — despite the name, this isn’t the pizza counter.
Frank & Lola’s Pizzeria
Stone-baked pizza, pepperoni and the house “Lola’s Pie” among them, free in the hall. A whole pie sent to your cabin late at night costs extra, and the line hasn’t posted that price for Beachcomber.
License to Chill Sandwich Shack
Deli sandwiches, paninis and hot dogs — on Paradise it’s a High Tide counter, while on Beachcomber the line lists it on its own.
Fins
One of two main dining rooms serving multi-course menus, which the line puts on Decks 3 and 4, aft.
Beachcomber dining room
The second main dining room, Deck 3 midship — the line lists it with Fins as one entry, but we count it as its own room.
Mexican Cutie Cantina
Build-your-own tacos and rice bowls with a toppings and hot-sauce bar, at the 5 o’Clock Somewhere pool area.
Cheeseburger in Paradise
A burger bar with build-your-own toppings, also at 5 o’Clock Somewhere.
Floridays
Shareable seafood, empanadas, tapas and sangria by the pitcher. It’s a Beachcomber exclusive filed under Specialty Dining, where the Ultimate License to Chill gives a $25 à la carte credit — prices aren’t published.
F&L Trattoria
Classic Italian: slow-simmered dishes, grilled whole fish, pastas and wine. Another Beachcomber exclusive under Specialty Dining, priced per item.
JWB Prime Steakhouse
Appetizer, entrée, side and dessert for $55 booked ahead, tip included, with children’s pricing through age 12. It sits a few steps from 5 o’Clock Somewhere.
Far Side Sushi
Sushi rolls, small plates, rice and ramen bowls, all à la carte, and the Prime Dining Package covers $25 of one visit.
Dreamsicle Ice Cream
Custom ice cream and frozen coffee treats near the pool decks. It’s a Beachcomber exclusive listed under Specialty Dining, but the line gives no cost wording at all — so we can’t tell you yet whether it’s free.
Margaritaville Coffee Shop
Cappuccino, signature coffee, chai, teas and grab-and-go. Specialty coffee here is paid and the drink package excludes it. Regular hot coffee and tea elsewhere are in the fare.
In-Room Dining
Bites, snacks and meals delivered, “for an additional cost.” No Beachcomber menu or fee is posted yet, and room-service orders carry the line’s 20% service charge.
Counting rules
The line’s dining page has 17 listings, but Floridays appears twice — so 16 concepts. Fins and Beachcomber share one listing but are two physical rooms, and High Tide Market is one food hall with five counters; we count the counters, not the hall on top of them. That gives 10 included concepts, 4 paid restaurants, and three more that are paid or unclear: the Coffee Shop, Dreamsicle and room service.
the food hall
03
High Tide Market, counter by counter
Same name as Paradise’s hall, a different lineup.
High Tide Market is the line’s food hall, and Beachcomber gets it on day one. The line’s own pitch is that it “levels up” the buffet.
Her five counters aren’t the same five Paradise has: three overlap, and two are new — Kickin’ & Pickin’ Chicken and Sun Baked BBQ. Paradise’s taco and sandwich counters exist on Beachcomber too, just as their own venues.
It’s included and needs no reservation, though hours and the deck haven’t been published.
| Counter | On Beachcomber | On Paradise today | Serves |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kickin’ & Pickin’ Chicken | Yes | — | Chicken sandwiches, tenders, drumsticks |
| Sun Baked BBQ | Yes | — | Pulled pork, sausage, sides |
| Provisions Salads & More | Yes | Yes | Salads, grilled proteins, sides |
| Slice of Paradise | Yes | Yes | Desserts |
| Frank & Lola’s Pizzeria | Yes | Yes | Stone-baked pizza |
| Mexican Cutie Cantina | Separate venue at the pool | Yes | Tacos, rice bowls |
| License to Chill Sandwich Shack | Separate venue | Yes | Sandwiches, paninis |
04
The four restaurants that cost extra
Only JWB has a published price, so budget the other three as à la carte meals priced per item.
JWB Prime Steakhouse
$55 per person pre-booked: one appetizer, entrée, side and dessert, 20% gratuity included, and 10% under the onboard price. Children 12 and under pay child-menu pricing.
Floridays
Coastal small plates, empanadas, tapas and sangria, listed under Specialty Dining and in the Ultimate License to Chill’s à la carte credits. Item prices aren’t published.
F&L Trattoria
Italian comfort food, grilled whole fish, pastas and wine. Item prices aren’t published.
Far Side Sushi
Rolls, small plates, rice and ramen bowls. Item prices aren’t published, but the Prime Dining Package includes a $25 credit for one visit.
Is Floridays free?
No official text says so. The page gives Floridays a feature block with no cost wording, then lists it again under Specialty Dining as a Beachcomber exclusive, and the top package gives a $25 credit there. Treat it as extra-charge until the line posts a menu with prices. Separately, the deck plan’s text shows a “Floridays Sports Bar” label; how that relates to the restaurant isn’t explained.
dinner perk
05
Suite guests: the dinner menu and the terrace
Every suite listing carries a complimentary suite-exclusive dinner menu in the main dining rooms: Serene Junior Suites, Grand Terrace Suites, Signature Grand Suites and both Bridge Wing Suites.
The two Bridge Wing Suites go further. Breakfast and dinner can be served on the private terrace, on request.
There’s no suite-only restaurant on any Beachcomber page, so expect a better menu in a shared room, not a Yacht Club.
| Cabin | Suite dinner menu in main dining rooms | Private dining | Concierge lounge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Serene Junior Suite | Yes | — | No |
| Grand Terrace Suite | Yes | — | No |
| Signature Grand Suite | Yes | — | Yes |
| Bridge Wing Suites (#9205, #9206) | Yes | Breakfast and dinner on your terrace, on request | Yes |
| All other categories | No | — | No |
Unlike Islander, no balconies get it
On Islander, two balcony categories also carry the suite dinner menu — on Beachcomber, none of the balcony pages list it. If the menu is the reason you’re upgrading, the Serene Junior Suite is the entry point.
06
Dining packages, priced out
The math is simple — whether it saves money depends on one line, the sushi credit.
Beachcomber Prime Dining Package, $89. One JWB dinner, one Sparkling Brunch and a $25 credit at Far Side Sushi. Service charge is included for JWB and the brunch; the sushi credit can cover the 20% on that bill. Ages 13 and up, one guest per package, and the credit is single-visit, no alcohol.
The line calls it a saving of “up to 25%” against onboard prices. Against the pre-booked prices here, it saves about $11 if you’d have spent $25 on sushi anyway — and costs about $14 more than JWB plus brunch if you wouldn’t.
Prime Dining Package vs. paying as you go
Untick anything you wouldn’t book on your own. The sushi credit is only worth money if you’d spend it.

A dining plan for your sailing
Miami sailings run four to eight nights; Galveston, from October 2027, four to seven — pick the one closest to yours.
Night 1

High Tide Market for lunch
Five counters under one roof. Try the two that only this ship has — chicken and barbecue.
Night 2 or 3
JWB Prime Steakhouse
On a four-night trip one paid dinner is plenty, and pre-booking gets you the $55 advance price.

Sparkling Brunch
$19.90 for one made-to-order dish and one glass of bubbly (21+) — buy it once, not every sea day.

Kids, teens and special diets
Children through 12 are charged the kids’ menu price at the steakhouse.
13 and up can buy the Prime Dining Package, while both License to Chill bundles are 21+.
No Beachcomber restaurant is listed as adults-only — the food hall and the pool-deck tacos and burgers are the easy family lunches.
Special diets: the Beachcomber dining page publishes no menus yet, so there’s nothing to check ingredients against. Note allergies on the booking and raise them with your server on the first night.
Dress code
Casual chic, line-wide. No tank tops or swimsuits in dining areas, and some restaurants ask for collared shirts or blouses and pants, dresses or skirts.

The two ships in service score 7.0 (Islander) and 6.7 (Paradise) on our dining scale. Beachcomber gets the same eight-category treatment once guests have eaten aboard — not before.
On paper, she combines Paradise’s food hall with Islander’s suite dinner menu and adds two restaurants of her own. Read that as a list of features, not a verdict.

What we’d tell a friend booking now
Good fit if
- You like grazing — a five-counter food hall plus pool-deck grills, all included.
- You want new venues the other two ships don’t have: Floridays and F&L Trattoria.
- You’re booking a suite and would actually use the suite dinner menu.
- One $55 steak dinner covers your specialty budget.
Think twice if
- You need menus and prices in hand before you book — most aren’t published.
- You want a private suite restaurant.
- Room service and lattes need to be free for you — they aren’t.
- You’d rather read real guest reviews first; Islander has them today.

Beachcomber dining questions
Does Beachcomber have a dining score?
Not yet. Seabound rates dining after a ship is carrying guests, and Beachcomber's first sailing is in January 2027. This page covers the line's announced venues, prices and packages.
How many places to eat are on Margaritaville at Sea Beachcomber?
The line lists 16 dining concepts. Ten are included: two main dining rooms (Fins and Beachcomber), High Tide Market's five counters, License to Chill Sandwich Shack, Mexican Cutie Cantina and Cheeseburger in Paradise. Four restaurants cost extra: Floridays, F&L Trattoria, JWB Prime Steakhouse and Far Side Sushi.
What counters are in Beachcomber's High Tide Market?
Five: Kickin' & Pickin' Chicken, Sun Baked BBQ, Provisions Salads & More, Slice of Paradise (desserts) and Frank & Lola's Pizzeria. All are included and need no reservation.
Is Floridays included on Beachcomber?
Treat it as extra-charge. The line lists Floridays under Specialty Dining as a Beachcomber exclusive, and the Ultimate License to Chill gives a $25 à la carte credit there. No official text calls it included, and its prices are not published.
How much is JWB Prime Steakhouse on Beachcomber?
$55 per person when pre-booked, covering one appetizer, entrée, side and dessert with the 20% service gratuity included. Children 12 and under pay child-menu pricing.
What is in the Beachcomber Prime Dining Package?
For $89 per person you get one JWB Prime Steakhouse dinner, one Sparkling Brunch and a $25 credit at Far Side Sushi for a single visit. It is for guests 13 and up, and the service charge is included for the dinner and brunch.
Do Beachcomber suites get special dining?
Yes. Serene Junior Suites, Grand Terrace Suites, Signature Grand Suites and both Bridge Wing Suites list a complimentary suite-exclusive dinner menu in the main dining rooms. Bridge Wing guests can also have breakfast and dinner on their terrace on request. There is no suite-only restaurant.
Is Dreamsicle Ice Cream free on Beachcomber?
The line has not said. Dreamsicle is listed under Specialty Dining as a Beachcomber exclusive, but with no cost wording, so whether it is included is unresolved.
Is room service free on Beachcomber?
No. The line lists in-room dining for an additional cost, and room service carries the line-wide 20% service charge. A Beachcomber menu and delivery fee have not been published.
Is coffee free on Beachcomber?
Hot coffee, tea, milk, juices and lemonade are included line-wide. Lattes, cappuccinos and other Margaritaville Coffee Shop specialty drinks are paid, and the Ultimate Beverage Chill package excludes them.
