Cruise Ship Specialty Dining (Royal Caribbean Chops Grille Food & Menus)

  • We've been to various specialty dining restaurants on our cruises throughout the years, and one of the best we experienced was Royal Caribbean's Chop's Grille "New American" steakhouse while aboard the Enchantment of the Seas. See Chop's Grille menus (including the kid's menu) plus the foods we ordered, the highlights of which being the Chilled Imperial Seafood Tower and the 16 ounce USDA Prime Bone-In Ribeye. The seafood tower had an extra surcharge of $39, but as you can see it is well worth it. It came with 8 Jumbo Shrimp, 12 Green-Lipped Mussels, 12 Clams, 10 Jonah Crab Claws, and 2 Whole Maine Lobster Tails. The ribeye steak certainly lived up to its menu description of "well marbled for peak flavor, deliciously juicy", lol.
    Other highlights included:
    * Jumbo Lump Crab Cake (Appetizer)
    * Rack of Lamb (Main Entree)
    * New York Cheesecake (Dessert)
    * Key Lime Meringue Pie (Dessert)
    Note that even though the official cost of Chop's Grille rangers between $35 to $49 per person on the various Royal Caribbean cruise ships, you may be able to strike a discount. Your main dining room server may try to convince you to sign up for a reservation, and you can ask for a discount then, or if you have a child, they may be able to have him or her eat for free.
    This was from our February 2020 cruise aboard the Enchantment of the Seas, a month before cruises were suspended. Hopefully things will be getting better in the summer with improved testing to enable cruises to resume later in the summer!

    You guys make the best cruise food videos on RUclips. All the dishes are called out with proper labels, pictures are CLEAR and then best of all, you get to see the actual tasting. I’m taking a Royal Caribbean cruise to Alaska July 2021 (fingers double crossed) and because of these videos I know exactly what to expect. Brava!

We're still hoping our July 26 cruise on Celebrity Summit to Bermuda is on, but we're not expecting good news. We're already booked for May 2021 10 day on Summit to Bermuda so we'll just use our FCC towards that. Stay safe and my wife asks how you stay in shape eating all those wonderful foods.

    Good video of Chops overview! We were on Rhapsody of the Seas and ate at Chops...since this was a smaller RCCL ship I was excepting a not so good meal. Not only did we have an amazing meal, we got a super deal of 30/person flat fee including tip. Embarkation day they were offering Chops at 40-45/person plus tip. As the cruise continued day after day, we got an offer one day from someone just walking around the windjammer during breakfast time. He offered a one time deal of 30/person w/tip included. I agreed on the spot because listed price on embarkation day was 47.99(I guess no one really pays this price after all).
    We too got the seafood tower and I think we got lucky because ours came with the cocktail shrimp that you did not have to peel. I will def return to Chops on our cruise next year and will be ordering the seafood tower!

    Hi my wife and I enjoy your cruise videos with the information provided is very helpful for our cruise planning. On your Chops Grill food menu review, did you purchase the dining package or without at $59 pp? When dining at Chops Grill specialty restaurant, are you able to order more than 1 entree and 1 dessert per person ?

    • @TravelTouristVideos
      @TravelTouristVideos  2 года назад +1

      You might be able to order more than 1 dessert if you ask nicely 😁 But yeah they probably won't let you order more than 1 entree, but you do get 2 appetizers. We didn't get the dining package, but we got a lower price for Chops Grille because our waiter was trying to sell it.

    So much food seems to be wasted, you could have gone through the menu over several nights, not 1 sitting

    Stop smelling food, it seems off. I don't want to see you smell it.

    Don’t really need to see you eat, maybe just show the food
