Eye Round Steak roasted, is definitely what it is. The fat lines got tougher as the meat sat, too. At the time, the kids menu filet, which we often had on the table because of our child's order, was superior -- as you well know. Thank you all of your sharing..

Shellyd22 Posted October 19, 2023 #27 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Does anyone know if they ever serve filet in Luminae? I don’t eat steak often, but when I do I don’t enjoy fatty meats but want something juicy and tender. Filet is my go to but I haven’t seen any menus offer it besides Specialty restaurants that I’ve looked at at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted October 19, 2023 Author #28 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Usually at least one night in Luminae there is filet. And it is very nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filet is normally served for dinner on the 1st night menu, or at least that has been our experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tyler414 Posted October 19, 2023 #30 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Why do people come on here bitching about something and not post a picture? If I have a major problem with a product or food item, the first thing I do is take a picture. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted October 19, 2023 Author #31 Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) Filet has been on one lunch menu in Luminae in our past couple of cruises, as well as the once dinner menu as I mentioned above. Re: picture. Not everyone lives on their cell phone. Thus, no pics from me. Edited October 19, 2023 by 39august 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PTC DAWG Posted October 19, 2023 #32 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I rarely have a phone on my person whilst cruising. IF I don’t care for the taste of something, I’ll ask for something else..or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare abbydancer2003 Posted October 19, 2023 #33 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I think it's called a center cut ribeye. It comes up here once in a while. I've heard it can be a very good cut of meat, but, I don't know why, but not good on X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a thick chunk of very lean meat. No fat nor marbling to be seen. It was very tough. This was on Equinox. Maybe it is different on other ships. But if on EQ in Luminae, do NOT expect a steak if you order this piece of meat. I gave up and ate some side dishes that my great waiter had brought us. Plenty of less than scrupulous restaurants around the world actually serve Chuck Eye steaks and call them ribeyes. Why.....because it's half the cost and most people can't tell the difference. I'm not saying Celebrity does this but it does happen. I could also simply be the fact the cooks on Celebrity didn't season or cook it very well. On our last cruise in Luminae a few weeks ago, the steaks were all pretty tasty and with the exception of a dry filet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes a great hamburger but definitely not a good steak or even a roast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was only my experience and I know others love it there so go and form your own opinion. I believe in giving all restaurants at least two chances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eye of the Round Steak needs to seriously be marinated in order to help break down fibres or the other way stores “tenderize” is run through a tenderizer machine Me, I don’t buy it and if I order a Ribeye, I want a Ribeye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told by my waiter that they have two qualities of filet. The one you get any time other than ‘filet night’ is the lesser quality one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope that would be the higher quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
