By the 3 min mark, I was starving. On the 11 min mark, I wanted to rush out to join you. At the 16 min I feel like you - “I’m so full.” Part of my joy was watching you all having so much fun. Good for the cruise line letting you eat in the restaurants. Thank you for a great video.
It’s amazing that you have time to enjoy good times with your friends and still make videos with all the work you do on the cruise. It was nice to finally meet you onboard the Odyssey. My wife and I really enjoyed our time spent onboard.
Chris, thanks for these videos. Its great to see the crew having fun on board like this. I just got back from a cruise last week, and the crew is always working so hard, I'm glad to see some folks enjoying the delicious restaurants and guest experiences as well! Maybe you could do a video explaining the crew contracts (length, renewal, vacation, ship assignments etc)
Sushi for me Chris. It's fun to see you having some lighthearted time with friends. I like the way you had a "survey" of restaurants and not just one. Keep smiling and good eating.
Great group of friends to share dinner with. Chops grill looks so good. 😋 can't wait to go and try it in March on our cruise on Adventure if the seas. Thanks for letting us watch you eat and sample the different restaurants on board.
Hey, Chris, Nice to meet you the other day. We went to all the specialty restaurants onboard (except Chef's Table). Here is what we thought (from best to worst) 1. Giovanni's - by far this one was the best. It was the only one we went to more than once 2. Izumi 3. Teppanyaki - so much food. Couldn't do anything after this because so full 4. Chops - Ironically, we thought the best thing about Chops was the macaroni and cheese 5. Wonderland - The mains and deserts were okay. But the appetizers were just bad, and we couldn't finish any of them (and some we didn't even try)
I loved the best when the three of you were having fun! I also enjoyed the last restaurant with the big table, the atmosphere was so relaxed and fun, the whole video was very enjoyable to watch! Thanks for the great video! More like this please :3
Awesome video Chris. But hoping you didn't make me hungry............ You failed on that. LOL The food at all 3 places looked delicious. My favorite would have yo be Chops Grill. Those steaks looked amazing. Especially yours. Looked like melt in your mouth tender when you cut it. And the look on your face when you tried it would confirm that. The mashed potato and shrimp............ May need to try that sometime. Very interesting seeing the cuisine on board. Loved it.....
Good idea combining the different specialty restaurants on one video. I booked Izumi on the Anthem for my birthday. I cannot wait just a few months to my first cruise in over 2 years. Thank you for another great video.
Hi Chris! Thanks for the restaurant & food overviews-Eric & I are already drooling & looking very forward to our next Royal Caribbean cruise! Our number one restaurant is Chops. Coming in second is Izumi's. If Giovonni's start bringing in more classical Italian dishes (ie-lasagna)-we'd be interested in trying it out again. As we've said before, you make a great ambassador for the cruise line! Take care!-Diana
All the restaurants looked so amazing! Made me hungry for sure. These food vlogs are so fun, thank you for taking us along with you. Great to see how much fun you guys have together and your friends are so funny as well!
I miss this ship, I was on it 2019 and celebrated NY into 2020 on this very ship, please vlog the NY celebration, I may cry because of my memories before the pandemic, I have not travel since this whole thing started, miss crusing so much
Italian YUMMY! Sushi YUCKY! Steak yummy! Chris, this was a fun thing to watch, but you could have left me behind when it comes to sushi. I tried it once in Bermuda and that was all I needed to tell me that was not something I wanted to ever eat again. I know you are home now because this is an older video that I missed along the way. Have fun and let us know what is going on now for you. Are you going to cruise again???
That sushi looked awesome, would have taken a bite if I could have 😍 Thanks for the videos Christopher, they are truely great! I am thinking on working also on a big cruise ship in near future. Peace ☮️
So officers can eat in specialty restaurants when you aren't working, but still need to wear your name tags? Are you ever allowed in guest areas without a name tag?
Great "food tour"! When we were on the Independence in Jan. 2020 right before COVID, we tried Giovanni's and Chops -- my first experience in either restaurant even after 7 RCCL cruises. Both were good, but oddly enough I liked the steak from Giovanni's more than the steak from Chops! Now, if you were sampling all the choices on the Mardi Gras (I was on her in October), you'd STILL be recording the video. After a 7-night cruise we STILL hadn't managed to try all of the restaurants and eateries. :)
Loved it. We will be on NCL for 21 days in about a week. I hope not to gain too much weight. 16 days of specialty restaurants and the rest in the Haven.
Out of the three you showed, I have only been to Chops and Izumi, but I think Izumi will ALWAYS be my #1 specialty dining restaurant across all cruise ships.
Giovanni’s is my favorite! In fact I’m going on the Harmony next April for my birthday and that’s where we’re going for dinner that night! Can’t wait after seeing your video!
Hey Chris, nice videos. Been seeing a couple of your videos and just subscribed. Been cruising for years (on carnival, I know) with the Mrs. but been getting that Quantum Class bug lately and your videos have only been making it worse. Hope to see you soon!
Now Chris, I was genuinely surprised that you grimaced at limoncello. I love it, but I also love gin, Campari and Aperol. I clearly do *not* have a sweet tooth.
we were on Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas a week ago and had so much fun ; had dinner twice @ Izumi and ate the same things you dined on; miss my mochi ice cream
also, love your vids. must see viewing. never been on a cruise so living vicariously through you and lalidoloca (whom i came across watching your vids).
Loving these videos! Do you have to wear your nametag when you eat at the restaurants or do other guest things on the ship? Would you do this for Breakfast and Lunch also? Thank you!
Thanks Chris! I enjoyed your vedio so much. How is the cruise right now while the new variant Omicron is spreading in some part of the world. Is it safe on the cruise now? Please shaer some information. I need do my cruise soon. I am a little concerned. Thank you
skooner, my man. while a schooner is a type of ship, it’s also a beer glass size here in australia: glass, pot, midi, schooner then pint. some variation of that list exists across the different states.
Hey Chris. Ive Been subscribed for a long time but never commented. So 1st of all. Thanks for all your content. You are getting better all the time. I've never been on a RC ship. I've only been on Carnival. But by the looks of this video it would be hard to choose. Maybe chefs table. Anyway, I have a question for you. What would you like your next job to be after Casino host, or have you found your niche? Also, would you ever work on another cruise line? Hope you are healthy and well. Thanks for all the great content. 👍
Hi Chris! I have so many questions... 1. Do crew get to eat at these restaurants when the ship is sailing with guests? 2. I thought they are always fully booked since day 1... how did you guys get seats? 3. Do crew get get discounts? 4. Does this put a big dent in your salary/savings?
Really enjoyed the video. Going to be on Oasis in 23 days. N9ow getting excited to try Chops ( once again) and Giovannis table ( not sushi lovers). Keep the vlogs coming they’re terrific.
Were all of these for free? If it is, on what job position do you have to be, so it comes in as a benefit? Maybe, this is how looks like the last day on ship for all workers... Anyway, you are doing a great job with VLOGS. I am thinking about embarking as a shop assistant, if I ever do that you should know that you was a great inspiration to me.
Chops is always our favorite. And yes, we always say, “I’m so full,” and then the dessert menu is presented. HaHa! Always room for a little bit of chocolate something, though. And, I agree with the petite filet mignon-wonderful! By the way, regional accents are very interesting. If you grew up pronouncing tuna like “tchewna,” then that’s the way you say it. We Americans pronounce it as “t-yew-na,” or “t-oona,” depending on which region we are from. However, I still think Schooner Bar is “Skooner” Bar, like “School.” Your videos are so much fun, and I look forward to each new one. 😁
I am a Chops person. I love beef and your filet looked wonderful. Roberto's steak looked great as well. I have a request. I would like to see what your cabin looks like with the bed in the down position. Great video!
Good afternoon Chris it is Cindy I just got your newest video with you and your crew having dinner at three different restaurants Izumi is one of my favorites Jaimes chops I mean to me they’re all excellent the food is just completely superb love the video please continue to make more if you don’t remember me Chris you and I have met an oasis of the sea right before Kovic 19 I was gambling with my girlfriend and we won $2000 and you were there to take care of us but we just wanna let you know that we are very very big fans of yours we love you we respect you but most of all we deeply appreciate what you do we appreciate you putting on these beautiful videos that you do on a weekly basis thank you and I cannot wait for your next video I hope you get this maybe respond but I will be watching take care of my brother Hope to see you soon on the next cruise take care of my brother be safe and yeah by the time I see you I’m gonna bring you some socks
Hi Chris! Will be seeing you in the casino Jan. 29. We have reservations to Chops and Wonderland but Izumi looks awesome too although I am the only one out four of us that would eat there.

the presentation of the food at Izumi was a work of art - just exquisite. So nice to see hard-working crew having a fun night out!
The rice level is very thick.
Makes me hungry now mate..staysafe and healthy.shoutout to you guys.
Always fun Chris. Glad you enjoy your time off with friends
Great to see you

Oh definitely Izumi is the best! I enjoyed getting to see some of the other crew members as well, thank you for all you do to make cruising the best

First time watch your video. It’s good. Wonder, when you eat at those expensive restaurants, are they free or, you pay at a discount price ?
Italian YUMMY! Sushi YUCKY! Steak yummy! Chris, this was a fun thing to watch, but you could have left me behind when it comes to sushi.

The food at Izumi looked the best to me!! And hello, Chris's dining companions! 😊😊
Nice video! Please make more food related content
Hope more cruise lines allow crew to be themselves and have good time 🌹
That sushi looked awesome, would have taken a bite if I could have 😍
Thanks for the videos Christopher, they are truely great!
I am thinking on working also on a big cruise ship in near future.
Peace ☮️

Yum! Your filet was cooked perfectly!
Out of the three you showed, I have only been to Chops and Izumi, but I think Izumi will ALWAYS be my #1 specialty dining restaurant across all cruise ships.
We are going on Odyssey in February. Hopefully we can meet you then!
De beste kaas komt uit Gouda => The best cheese is from Gouda. Dinner looks great. Love to try it! You have nice colleagues.
Yeeees I would agree
Chris Wong vs Limoncillo .. love it !
Thanks so much. Good know before we leave in February! Can’t wait to eat.
Awesome Chris ,,,, and for me its CHOPS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that beef will melt in my mouth !!!!!!,Thanks to all that allowed the Vlog !!!!!!!!
That filet looked amazing...Chops for me.
Now I am hungry as heck!! Going to my favorite Chinese buffet!!
I love the green tea mochi because it's not sweet.
Great video. You are lucky that you are entitled to enjoy these wonderful restaurants. Keep on keeping on. Peace.
The casino rocks!!!
Wow... Now I'm hungry Chris!!! And honestly, it all looked so good... But that steakhouse, that would get my vote!!
The best content always! Very informative.
Giovanni’s is my favorite! In fact I’m going on the Harmony next April for my birthday and that’s where we’re going for dinner that night! Can’t wait after seeing your video!
Chris will you still be on board Odyssey for January 15th sailing?
What are the rules for crew eating in guest restaurants?
And more Raphaela in videos please … she’s gorgeous.
Chops for me. Those steaks and shrimp look absolutely fantastic!
Hey Chris, nice videos. Been seeing a couple of your videos and just subscribed. Been cruising for years (on carnival, I know) with the Mrs. but been getting that Quantum Class bug lately and your videos have only been making it worse. Hope to see you soon!
Lol your face was great. I am not a Limoncello fan!
Piano guy! The goal of every cruise is to find him on an elevator!
Now Chris, I was genuinely surprised that you grimaced at limoncello. I love it, but I also love gin, Campari and Aperol. I clearly do *not* have a sweet tooth.
Chopped grill would be my favorite.
Thank you for giving us a taste of the delightful specialty restaurants!
we were on Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas a week ago and had so much fun ; had dinner twice @ Izumi and ate the same things you dined on; miss my mochi ice cream
Gorgeous blog buddy thank you fir sharing 😊
Brother do you upload your videos onboard the ship ????
Thanks for another fun video. Chris, have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Stay safe and healthy!
Can't wait to try Giovanni's reataurant when we sail in June. Thanks for the video showing the actual food which looks amazing.
Hi I’ve got to say that the food looks awesome thanks for a nice video cheers
Chris! i miss you already! Big hugs, Rafaella ❤️🚢
...what, don't mind me, I'm just here for the comments.
also, love your vids. must see viewing. never been on a cruise so living vicariously through you and lalidoloca (whom i came across watching your vids).
You made me hungry. Giovanni's was my favorite. Thanks for taking us along.😎
Wow, they all looked delicious, can't wait to get back on board an eat some incredible food. Chops is a Royal legend and you can't go wrong.
Loving these videos! Do you have to wear your nametag when you eat at the restaurants or do other guest things on the ship? Would you do this for Breakfast and Lunch also? Thank you!
I wondered that too. Safety requirement?
Enjoyed the video. First restaurant and Third restaurant I would eat there. Second raw fish no way. enjoyed you and your friends.
Thanks Chris! I enjoyed your vedio so much. How is the cruise right now while the new variant Omicron is spreading in some part of the world. Is it safe on the cruise now? Please shaer some information. I need do my cruise soon. I am a little concerned. Thank you
Izumi is also my fav! Nice to see the crew can eat at the speciality .
Zuni looks wonderful
We had a really nice lunch at Giovanni's when we sailed on the Anthem around Britain. The maki looked really nice.
GREAT VIDEO..........................I'm so full!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jealous MAN! Lucky to be you!!!
LOL I’m a big foodie, so I would’ve loved everything you guys ate. I’m really good at handling super spicy things, but not wasabi. 💁🏼♀️💁🏼♀️💁🏼♀️
❤️❤️❤️🎄🎄🎄another great Video Chris..
skooner, my man. while a schooner is a type of ship, it’s also a beer glass size here in australia: glass, pot, midi, schooner then pint. some variation of that list exists across the different states.
I recognize Meha (from the casino on the Liberty of the Seas). It’s so funny seeing someone I know.
Thanks for you video. Most of my cruising is with Princess so perhaps I need to jump ship & try your cruise line & ship.
OMG! I can't believe he ate all that wasabi in one bite!
thank, you, it wasn't easy :)
OK, I am now Hungary! All looks amazing! Thank you Chris
*hungry*
_Hungary_ is a country. Hence the capitalisation.
Schools don’t seem to teach spelling, literacy or grammar anymore.
How do crew members deal with routine events like haircuts. Doctor appointments, dentist appointments?

Hi Chris! Will be seeing you in the casino Jan. 29. We have reservations to Chops and Wonderland but Izumi looks awesome too although I am the only one out four of us that would eat there.
You made me Hungry .
Amazing video .
Never been on a cruse ship but Izumi would be my first stop. Maybe someday!
They all look good! I would do Giovanni’s first, then Izumi, and Chops last
All restaurants look good❤
Chops is the only one I've been to but it was great. They just got too pricey for us, on top of all the other extras.
Thanks!
Chops is my fave of all ur places u ate at. We (in Hawaii) pronounce tuna as “2nah” lol
GREAT VIDEO!
I love green tea mochi or ice cream!
That food looked amaaaazing.😋
I got quite a few laughs out of this, thanks!
Hi Chris! Thanks for the videos❤️ Does the casino have a Poker Pro machine? My husband won’t leave Carnival but will if you have one! Help a girl out😉
Hi Chris, i want to apply for IT Manager position on cruise. Please help me how to, from where to start
Madalina is awesome!
Izumi looked the most appealing to me as well. Giovani's didn't look bad either though.
