Steak Recommendation

[deanman02]

What steak do you recommend at the steakhouse on Carnival Sunshine?

[hurricane0226]

we love the filet mignon

[MEUB1112]

RibEye is amazing!

[hurricane0226]

Ribeye

The real question is “Which cow do you recommend?”

I would have the filet simply because it’s the smallest.   O way I could do justice to any of the others.  EM

This.

 

All of the steaks are going to be prepared in basically the same way, likely by the same chef.  Once you are past that, it depends on the quality of that particular steak, and there is always going to be a chance that you don't get the most ideal one.  A lot of that is just luck of the draw.

 

My advice is to choose a cut (filet, ribeye, strip, etc.) that you already know you like.

And on a cruise ship it’s unlikely they’re cooking the steaks on an open flame grill. Fire 🔥 and cruise ships don’t like each other.

They use electric grills above a water bath. The water catches the fat drippings so there are no flare-ups.

And that’s why my cruise ship steakhouse expectations are lower than at a land-based steakhouse.

The steaks can be quite good but yeah that's a good plan. 

 

In the past the cost was a good bit cheaper than a land steakhouse, but that's not really true anymore.

i like the Ribeye 

[pe4all]

Ribeye has been great whenever we eat there.

Another vote for the Ribeye

[jb58]

I've had hit or miss with the Ribeye.  No issues with the Filet.

 

On another note the last time I had the lamb it was fantastic

[PlanoTim]

I wish they would add a Ribeye Cap to the steakhouse menu. 🍴😛

I always do the ribeye, but I am comfortably full about half way through it, so I take it back to the room, wrap it in foil, and put it in the fridge.  To keep the fridge a bit colder, we put the ice bucket with ice in the fridge.   That ribeye at 2:30 in the morning on our balcony is amazing!!!

You are missing out of one of life’s simple pleasures 😊

[cacruisin]

Everything at 2:30am (especially with a bit of alcohol) taste better!!!

OH, it's GREAT.   All the juices have a chance to mingle, and being out on the balcony with the sea air........   Just -- WOW.

The filet is good but my gosh the ribeye was one of the best steaks I have ever had. It was huge and I ate as much as I could since there is no way to reheat leftovers. I didn’t even eat dessert!

You're not kidding.  That's what I went with, but then the damn cheesecake was GIGANTIC.
