Fish & Ships included on Independence?

[CruzOnBye]

On the app for my March sailing on Independence I noticed the menu changed and has a “on the house” section, where no fee is listed. And then a “Treat Yourself” section with fees listed. Is this new for them to offer fish and chips, chicken fingers and such at no cost? Or do they still charge and maybe I am misunderstanding what “on the house” means lol?

I have had chicken bites, fish and fries on Ovation and never paid.

I think I read on here that when Independence came back from her dry dock, Fish & Ships now had complimentary items (though some still needed to be purchased). I'm thrilled by this - definitely looking forward to it!

That’s awesome!! It will be nice to have another complimentary option on this ship.

Confirmed- we sailed on Independence this past weekend and Fish and Ships had several complimentary items, they were poppin’ most of the time too. It was definitely nice to have a complimentary poolside snack available...other than the delicious Icecream cones lol.

IIRC, Ovation sailings to Alaska weren't free last year. They charged for fish and chips and chicken fingers too. The lobster was always an add on so that is the same as Independence.
