klfrodo Posted March 11, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 11, 2023 1. Define "Worth It". What I put as a value on something may be totally different than what you may determine. 2. Steaks. Thus "Steakhouse" 3. Yes. A free bottle of the cheapest they have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BasicSailor Posted March 11, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I feel Magic is one of Carnivals better ships. But to me the meats in the steak house has declined somewhat. Smaller portions and taste are just not the same as it once were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shortyjoesmith Posted March 13, 2023 #6 Share Posted March 13, 2023 I have been able to go to the steakhouse on every ship I've sailed on that had one beginning in 2010 through this last October. The price has steadily increased over the years but I still feel that it is a fair price for the meal I get. If you see the price and feel that you can fit that in your budget, you may find yourself as happy as I always am with you experience. Note, one visit I had lousy service but the food was so wonderful, we were able to go again near the end of the cruise and we had great service. We didn't tell the server about our previous poor service, she was just great all on her own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people will say it is worth the added cost; others will say I'm already getting a "free" (included/pre-paid/whatever) meal in the dining room, and the Steakhouse isn't worth "another $48". 2. Steaks, lobster (probably spiny/Caribbean, not Maine), some fish dishes, some chicken. Google around, you'll find recent menus. 3. Yes, but the free bottle (offered first and second night, I believe) is the cheapest plonk they have, equivalent to a $7 bottle at the grocery store. If you are just looking for a free bottle, well, there it is. But I'd rather get 50% off a more expensive bottle that tastes far better, which is your other option. We have Cheers, so we just order by the glass typically - the by-the-glass selection is a bit better than the MDR, usually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare finoky Posted March 15, 2023 #8 Share Posted March 15, 2023 In 24 Carnival cruises we had never been to the steakhouse until our last cruise on the Magic this past October. I wish we didn't go this time. Terrible cut of meat. Worst we have had at sea or maybe anywhere for that matter. Slow inattentive service. I wrote Carnival but never heard anything back. They got us once but never again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted March 15, 2023 #9 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I ate in the Magic steakhouse last month and in September and in 2019. It’s still excellent in my opinion. The only thing that has changed is the cheesecake. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ninjacat123 Posted March 15, 2023 #10 Share Posted March 15, 2023 We were on Magic this January and loved the Steakhouse so much the first night that we ate there 2 more times during our 8 day cruise. Service was great and my DH enjoyed his filet mignon so much, he ordered it every time. Roman the manager was professional and charming. We had CHEERS so we ordered wine by the glass. If you decide to have dinner at the Steakhouse, enjoy!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrieluvsgreg Posted March 15, 2023 #11 Share Posted March 15, 2023 We have been cruising with Carnival since 2003 and never booked the steakhouse. We have been tempted often, but not enough to bite the bullet. We have it booked for our sailing on the Panorama next month. I have read tons of reviews and the good far outweigh the bad. I fully expect the experience to be worth it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We booked the steakhouse on our cruise on the Glory in February. We actually got married on the ship on embarkation day, and thought it would be nice for our little group to have dinner at the steakhouse. We were all very pleased and felt it was 100% worth it. And now we'll probably have dinner at the steakhouse at least one night on future cruises. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree! If the Steakhouse is not up to one's standard, I would say you are sailing on the wrong line and Carnival in general is likely not for you. You should step it up a few notches to Cunard or Viking etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florings Posted March 16, 2023 #15 Share Posted March 16, 2023 We were on the Magic two weeks ago. Steakhouse the first night - free bottle of wine was chardonnay or merlot. We opted for a nice sauvignon blanc at 50% off the menu price. The service was wonderful. This time I chose the Dover Sole and .... nah, it was not good at all. Still everything else was, so I left full and happy. We went a 2nd time a few days later and I had my usual filet and lobster and it was delicious. We go to the steakhouses on the first night, every cruise, where available. A nice meal and a nice start to our vacation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare WhaleTailFlCruiser Posted March 16, 2023 #17 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I always do the steakhouse at least once a Cruise, I was disappointed with the portion sizes as they have gone downhill but still well worth the cost to me as it is less then what you would pay on land for the same amount of food.

lesters Posted March 16, 2023 #18 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I love starting off the cruise with a night at the Steakhouse. We kicked off our Magic cruise last month with my parents with a night here. We treated ourselves to a 50% off bottle of Dom AND the Wine Pairing (on Cheers). It was a fabulous evening - celebrating being on a cruise with my parents (along with DH), this was after my dad had a massive stroke 5 years ago - so super special to have been on that trip with them. The food was great, service was even better. I didn't take a lot of pictures of the food - too busy having a great time! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
