The main dining rooms are perfectly fine for dining. Or the top deck buffet if you want less formal service. You don't need to spend any extra $15 to $25 for a specialty restaurant to get good food. There are PLENTY of food choices. We both gained about 3 lbs. on this last cruise!
Last cruises I was on had FREE drinks in the casino when you were booked with a certificate. ONLY in the casino, not the rest of the ship. Recently they changed which drinks are free. For instance last Jan. I could have a chocolate grasshopper for free ( a blended chocolate mint drink ) Last week that was not allowed but a pina colada was fine. The bartender in the casino will tell you which drinks you can have for free. Most are free. Otherwise Beers are about $7 a can on board.
