I'm with you Addy! I haven't had raw oysters. I enjoy well-cooked mussels, and that lobster, fish and shrimp looked good! The surf and turf looked good too... I know they say less cooked is better, but we always get well-done. Thanks for this review! Seems like we would enjoy Hooked!
I love oysters on the half shell, chargrilled, Rockerfeller. Allum! 😂 and as far as them being an aphrodisiac, I’ve always had some type of cocktail while eating them so “more investigation is needed”
I went to Hooked Seafood for the first time in April on Symphony of the Seas ... I had the shrimp cocktail (the spiced up Mexican version), the Captain's platter with lobster mac & cheese, & decadent chocolate brownie. Our server, Pupae from Thailand, was amazing ... An apt name for a restaurant because it hooked me & I can't wait to go there again in October/November when I'll be on Symphony of the Seas again.
@@AddyandTerry Certainly Hooked Seafood was. I only dined in the main dining room and Windjammer otherwise. You can't go wrong with any of the Oasis class ships in general, though.
Thanks for the review! I've only recently been on Anthems of the Sea and going on Symphony of the Sea for birthday in May I can't wait!! The food on the Anthems could have been better but the staff was excellent. From 2004-2011 I was on Adventures of the Sea, Explorer of the Sea, Liberty of the Sea and NCL Jewel of the Sea. Back than all the food was excellent! Took a break my travel agent who I worked for agency closed. We cruise every year and I was the artist coordinator because we brought our on entertainment on board those were one the best days of my life!!! Happy Cruising😊🎉
Watching him cut into your lemon tart after eating his coconut pie with his fork when you just mentioned you are allergic to coconut about gave me a hard attack at first 😱 Lol; I’m glad it’s obviously not a severe one. Thanks for the video I’m cruising next year and trying to decide what restaurants to try.
I don't need any oysters, since I'm a widow now. But I am so glad I found this informative, fun video. I’m finally going on the Wonder next month for my 50th birthday! To God be the Glory! So what's the difference in taste btw mussels and what hubby had on a half shell? Also, I want to see what that whole lobster. It sounds so good with the crab filling. Thanks so much for showing us.
I don’t like oysters, but its ok for those who do. My daughter loves oysters. Hubby and I just came back from LA. If y’all looking to visit LA check out This sea food restaurant called Boiling Crab and Fixins. Fixins restaurant is down home cooking and make sure you try their cool aid.😋Brings back good old fashion times!😊Thanks for sharing! ❤️❤️
Raw oyster are so good! Crazy thing, when i was hungover once from a party, only thing I could eat the next morning at a brunch spot I went to was raw oysters and fruit lmao
Addy & Terry thank you for sharing your Vlog with us!! Food looks delicious! Glad you had a great time at this restaurant. Sorry about your dessert though Terry.
I love seafood but not raw seafood and the recommendations was never eat raw food on a cruise. With all that's going in May I will try the soft shell crabs, clam chowder and maybe the the lobster. I'm still unsure of which one but for the most part the food looks good glad you enjoyed 👏🏽💯💃🏾
Would you recommend Hooked for a non- seafood eater? I love seafood. Grew up on Maryland crab, however I married a Missouri girl. Beef and potatoes. I would love to try Hooked, but want her to be happy with her meal.
Ohhh. Hooked. I’ve seen mixed reviews as well. Just like Mason Jar. Curious to hear your thoughts. Yes. The bread is reminiscent of Red Lobster in appearance. Yum. Clam chowder. Never had oysters. Ppl always eating it raw. Would try this because it’s cooked. Hellls no to raw oysters. Addy. 😂. Your body gestures explaining what is said about raw oysters. My hubby is the mussels lover. Entrée time. See that’s the one thing with cruises. No microwave in the room so never box up. The lemon tart looks good. I’ll pass on the coconut creme pie. Addy chewing for days😂😂. Glad it’s good. So looks like Hooked was successful. It’s best to try for yourself. From the server to the chef, the presentation, your seat, portions, heat of food; so many things contribute to the experience. Thanks for sharing and see you next video. 🛳
Just wondering when you choose hooked from your dining package, if it only comes with you’re choice of one appetizer, one soup or salad, and one entrée as opposed to ordering as much as you would like with no extra charge?
No, not really. You can order multiple appetizers or sides. But only one entree. The standard 3 course meal. They will charge you a la cart if you want more than that.
It is definitely worth it if you are a foodie. It is also worth it if you KNOW that you don’t want to eat in the main dining room or buffet every night. But for a first time cruiser on Royal, I would actually just suggest the Chops plus one package. That way you get two specialty restaurants and you still get to enjoy a lot of the FREE/Included options onboard. There are plenty!
Im glad yall had a better experience than us. But let me explain. The restaurant yall went to was NICE. On Symphony it was like a backyard picnic. Restaurant was awful, picnic tables, outside vibe not specialty, food was decent and I know it is probably better on another ship. Will try it on Allure and see. But on Symphony, will not go there again. I was soooooo bummed.
@@AddyandTerry John said I need to watch this again with my glasses on. We went during the day. I didnt get the best vibe. It looked ok. But in your video it looks way better. Maybe the lights need to be off hahahahahahahaha
Hooked was Awful on Wonder of the Seas last month. I was looking forward to the lobster roll and it was a joke. Extremely disappointing with other dishes that others in our group had. Never again!
Love this intimate food review niche you guys have been doing; it feels like I'm dining with ya'll!
That’s the idea 🤗🤗🤗
My family and I tried Hooked Seafood on Wonder of the Seas and loved the food. Glad you tried it for yourselves.
We are too 😬😬

Oh for a steak, we are medium rare folks 😍

😂😂😂😂
Yes. All of the yes. Agreed.
Omg I’m drooling!!! Watching you guys eat it makes me so hungry and can’t wait till 5/15 on symphony thanks for sharing with us
Our pleasure! Enjoy 😊
Thanks for sharing the video with us and we will continue to watch them when we get a chance. You are are funny too and love it
I love Seafood, I am glad you tried it for yourselves and had a good experience. 😊

We had a great time on Symphony OTS. wasn’t the food fabulous!

That is what we are discovering. We have only done symphony and wonder but have loved both.
@@AddyandTerry I've only been on Oasis (Feb 2022) and Symphony (April 2023). My joint favourite ships. The bigger the better for me.

My mouth was "seriously watering "...I LOVE seafood, yummy!...thank you for the review..my two favorite food critics....😊
Thanks so much!! 🤗🤗🤗
Looking forward to trying Hooked on Wonder this Fall. Thanks for this review
You are so welcome!
Vlog got me hungry as hell !! Breaking down those sauces with A Chef swag 😂😂😂😂 Nice!
😂😂😂
We were really hoping you would say those biscuits were good, cuz Red Lobster biscuits are THA BOMB! LOL
I was hoping so bad that they were gonna taste like them but was clearly let down. Not even close!
That food looks so good especially the captain dinner Addy ordered. I love Oyster Rockefeller.
It was delicious 🤤

Oh its not a severe allergy and i travel with zyrtec and benadryl, just in case 👌🏽

Wonderful! Happy early birthday! Mussels have a different texture vs oysters. More similar to clams when steamed.
We loved Ali we had him on our May 28th sailing on Symphony. Hooked was so yummy especially those mussels
I could have eaten buckets of those mussels! 🤗🤗

Love this food review.
Thanks for watching 😁😁
Raw oyster are so good! Crazy thing, when i was hungover once from a party, only thing I could eat the next morning at a brunch spot I went to was raw oysters and fruit lmao
I have since this video become a concert. I do eat them now but still very picky about them. Still a texture thing 😂
@@AddyandTerry I get it.. the texture is kinda weird..
Great review can’t wait to try this December 🥂
Hope you enjoy it!
As someone who loves seafood, I really wanted to try Hooked but I was also warned to stay away. Wish I didn’t listen. Thanks for the review!
Yeah most of our friends warned us not to eat there said they had a horrible experience. So glad we didn’t listen!
Addy & Terry thank you for sharing your Vlog with us!! Food looks delicious! Glad you had a great time at this restaurant. Sorry about your dessert though Terry.
Yeah but he ate enough of mine to make up for it 😂😂
@@AddyandTerry Too funny 😁 😂
🫶🏽🫶🏽
No oysters for me lol. Going on Wonder of the Seas in October 2024
with a Hooked restaurant.
😂🤗
Hey fam!!! I love hearing Chef Addy explaining the food 😍
Thank you ☺️
I would eat there. The food looks good. Addy really showed her professional chef skills. I’m sure you could put on a blindfold and call out foods.
thank you 🤩 we used to do that in culinary school 😬
What’s your favorite dish to try at a seafood restaurant? Have you tried Hooked or have you been warned not to?
No oysters for me. Glad the chowder is good. My last trip on RCCL, we went to Hooked and loved it. Seafood was very fresh.
We kept getting mixed reviews so we had to try it ourselves 👍🏽
The food looks great! I love chargrilled or charbroiled oysters but I can’t do raw, lol
Nope not for addy 😂
I love seafood but not raw seafood and the recommendations was never eat raw food on a cruise. With all that's going in May I will try the soft shell crabs, clam chowder and maybe the the lobster. I'm still unsure of which one but for the most part the food looks good glad you enjoyed 👏🏽💯💃🏾
We have never gotten sick from eating on a cruise ship. Raw or otherwise. 😊
@@AddyandTerry 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I missed my chace to try Hooked while on the Navigator. Next time when I'm on a ship with Hooked, I'll for sure give it a try! 🥰😋
It’s a thumbs up for us 👍🏽
Hmmm you may have swayed me to try Hooked. We always get the e night package. I don't like oysters but everything else looked good. Great review!
Thanks so much for watching 🤗
Would you recommend Hooked for a non- seafood eater? I love seafood. Grew up on Maryland crab, however I married a Missouri girl. Beef and potatoes. I would love to try Hooked, but want her to be happy with her meal.
I wouldn’t say it’s gonna be her favorite but they do have some non seafood options…
My problem is I love any and all seafood! Thank you for your honest review. If there huge portions I'm I'm lol! Great video as always
We were stuffed! 🤗🤗🤗
Great video guys.👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Thanks for watching 🤗🤗🤗
Great video!

Yes we enjoyed it so much ☺️☺️☺️
Are y’all chefs? Y’all make me hungry lol
Yes, actually. Addy is a classically trained chef.
I’m with you Addy I can’t do raw oysters either. “Terry eat your own dessert”🤣😂🤣
😂😂😂
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Did you guys end up tasting the fried platter? I’m wondering if it’s worth ordering.
Yes. The server was right. It would be better as an appetizer not an entree. Delicious but lots of fried food 🍤
Just wondering when you choose hooked from your dining package, if it only comes with you’re choice of one appetizer, one soup or salad, and one entrée as opposed to ordering as much as you would like with no extra charge?
Great question 👍🏾 it may vary from ship to ship but we were allowed multiple appetizers but only one entree.
Thank you soo much for the quick reply. Extremely helpful
I love raw & cooked oysters 😋
Just can’t do it lol 😬🤭
is the food unlimited order? can you order as much appetizer/entree you want? thank you
No, not really. You can order multiple appetizers or sides. But only one entree. The standard 3 course meal. They will charge you a la cart if you want more than that.
I loved it!!
Was it worth doing the 3 night package. First time cruising.. doing the wonder of the sea. Should we pay the extra or enjoy the food included?
It is definitely worth it if you are a foodie. It is also worth it if you KNOW that you don’t want to eat in the main dining room or buffet every night.

Raw oysters are legit good. I have never had them any other way. I can’t eat much so I hope they will allow 2 each. I hate wasting food.
Addy says nope 🤢
Addy.. why you make that face.. when he ate that oyster... lol
Oysters in my nook are the equivalent of sea boogers 🤢
I love oyster

Love me some oysters, raw or cooked😍😋

Hooked was Awful on Wonder of the Seas last month. I was looking forward to the lobster roll and it was a joke. Extremely disappointing with other dishes that others in our group had. Never again!
We have heard that the flavor tends to vary from crew to crew. Hate that it was not a good experience for you.
I love oysters but not the raw ones.
I just can’t do it 😬
I hate oysters! My husband loves them, go figure.
Same…ewww
I only eat cooked oysters. Ot does nothing for me. 🤣
i can’t even eat them cooked. It’s a texture thing 🥴
@@AddyandTerry Yeah, kinda like me and okra.
Oh i definitely can NOT do okra 🤣 but Terry likes it fried
stop eating her dessert. that was rude
😂😂😂😂
Hair is dirty, and fake hair is nasty! No one should keep touching their hair while they're eating! YUK!
They are not "raw" Oysters. They are Oysters
