But perhaps none are as popular \u2014 or as commonplace \u2014 as cruise ship steakhouses.<\/p>\n<p>If a cruise line has room for just a single restaurant on a vessel in addition to a main dining room and a casual buffet eatery, it\u2019s likely to make it a steakhouse. By our count, there are more than 100 of them on major cruise ships catering to North Americans.<\/p>\n<p>Cruise giant\u00a0Carnival\u00a0alone has 19 steakhouses on its 23 ships.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>In many cases, the steakhouses are as elaborate and elegant as any you\u2019ll find on land, with lovely, marbled, mouthwatering cuts of USDA Prime beef that has been dry-aged for weeks.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to all the classic meat cuts, from New York strip to porterhouse, they\u2019ll also serve up classic steakhouse seafood selections such as Dover sole and lobster, too. And expect all the classic sides, from sauteed spinach to potatoes every which way.<\/p>\n<h2>How much do cruise ship steakhouses cost?<\/h2>\n<p>On many ships, the steakhouse is the date-night restaurant \u2014 the place you go for a special night after sending the little ones to the children\u2019s program.<\/p>\n<p>In many cases, they come with an extra cost, generally a flat fee ranging from around $29 to $45 per person, not including drinks and gratuities. Given that meals in the main restaurants on ships are included in the price of a cruise, this can seem steep to a cruiser. But compared to the typical steakhouse on land, it\u2019s a bargain.<\/p>\n<p>Even with the cost of a bottle of wine added in, it\u2019s possible for a couple to have a full steakhouse dinner \u2014 appetizers, mains, sides and dessert \u2014 at some cruise ship steakhouses for not much more than $100.<\/p>\n<p>On some ships, there\u2019s no cost at all to dine in the steakhouse. Many higher-end lines such as Oceania Cruises and\u00a0Regent Seven Seas Cruises\u00a0include the cost of dining in steakhouses and all or most other eateries in their fares.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The best cruise ship steakhouses<\/h2>\n<p>Below are our picks for the best steakhouses at sea. Some of them, as you\u2019ll see, are on the finest luxury ships and others are on the most mass-market of vessels. Some of them come with an extra charge while others are included in the fare. But what they all have in common is that they offer a wonderful array of classic steakhouse dishes.<\/p>\n<p>A couple of the picks aren\u2019t technically steakhouses but are known for serving up fine cuts of beef. The Grill by Thomas Keller restaurants on Seabourn ships, for instance, offer a number of steakhouse classics such as New York strip and lobster Thermidor cooked to perfection.<\/p>\n<p>Regent operates some of the world\u2019s most luxurious ships, so it perhaps comes as no surprise that it offers some of the most elegant and upscale steakhouses at sea. On all five Regent vessels, the line\u2019s Prime 7 venues have a contemporary flair with burnished woods and rich earth-tone fabrics as well as supple leather wing-back chairs.<\/p>\n<p>As for the cuisine, it\u2019s everything you would expect from a high-end steakhouse, with a choice of New York strip, porterhouse, filet mignon and other beef cuts that all are USDA Prime and dry-aged at least 28 days. Non-beef menu items include Alaskan king crab legs and Dover sole. Starters include jumbo lump crab cakes, classic steak tartare and clam chowder.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cost:<\/strong>\u00a0There\u2019s no extra charge to dine at Prime 7, but reservations are recommended.<\/p>\n<h2>Tuscan Grille<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Where you\u2019ll find it:\u00a0<\/strong>All Celebrity Cruises ships except\u00a0Celebrity Edge, Celebrity Apex and Celebrity vessels in the Galapagos<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_994838\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-994838\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-994838 size-full lazyautosizes size-full lazyloaded \" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/thepointsguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Celebrity-Cruises-Tuscan-Grille.jpg?fit=2048%2C2048px&amp;quality=1#038;ssl=1\" sizes=\"700px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/thepointsguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Celebrity-Cruises-Tuscan-Grille.jpg?fit=2048%2C2048px&amp;quality=1#038;ssl=1 2048w,https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/thepointsguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Celebrity-Cruises-Tuscan-Grille.jpg?fit=600%2C399px&amp;quality=1&amp;w=0&amp;quality=60#038;ssl=1 0w\" alt=\"Tuscan Grille\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/thepointsguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Celebrity-Cruises-Tuscan-Grille.jpg?fit=2048%2C2048px&amp;quality=1#038;ssl=1\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/thepointsguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Celebrity-Cruises-Tuscan-Grille.jpg?fit=2048%2C2048px&amp;quality=1#038;ssl=1 2048w,https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/thepointsguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Celebrity-Cruises-Tuscan-Grille.jpg?fit=600%2C399px&amp;quality=1&amp;w=0&amp;quality=60#038;ssl=1 0w\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-994838\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Tuscan Grille on Celebrity Constellation.

(Photo by Andy Newman\/Carnival Cruise Line)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>One of the great paradoxes of the cruise world is that one of the lowest-cost operators \u2014 Carnival \u2014 has one of the best steakhouses at sea. At a fixed price of $38 per person, Fahrenheit 555 also is a relative bargain compared to similar steakhouses on land.<\/p>\n<p>Found on Carnival\u2019s four most recently built ships plus a couple of others, Fahrenheit 555 offers all the steakhouse staples, from a 14-ounce New York strip to a nine-ounce filet mignon (both USDA Prime, aged 28 days). Other entree choices include an appropriately marbled hunk of Australian Wagyu beef, grilled lamb chops and Dover sole. Starters include Heritage Berkshire pork belly, bone marrow and hand-cut beef tartare, and \u2014 of course \u2014 jumbo shrimp cocktail.<\/p>\n<p>Carnival has a long tradition of offering high-end steakhouses on its ships. The line began rolling out steakhouses in 2001 with the debut of its Spirit Class ships (where, in one of the great quirks of cruise ship design, the steakhouses are located in red domes that form the forward portions of the ships\u2019 funnels). There now are steakhouses on 19 of Carnival\u2019s 23 vessels, with varying names and decor. When it comes to culinary offerings, they\u2019re all similar to Fahrenheit 555.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cost:<\/strong> $38 per person<\/p>\n<h2>Chops Grille<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Where you\u2019ll find it:<\/strong>\u00a0All Royal Caribbean ships except Adventure of the Seas and Majesty of the Seas<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_994769\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-994769\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-994769 size-full lazyautosizes size-full lazyloaded \" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/thepointsguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1465059619_HM-ChopsGrille1.jpg?fit=2048%2C2048px&amp;quality=1#038;ssl=1\" sizes=\"700px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/thepointsguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1465059619_HM-ChopsGrille1.jpg?fit=2048%2C2048px&amp;quality=1#038;ssl=1 2048w,https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/thepointsguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1465059619_HM-ChopsGrille1.jpg?fit=600%2C440px&amp;quality=1&amp;w=0&amp;quality=60#038;ssl=1 0w\" alt=\"Royal Caribbean Chops Grille\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/thepointsguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1465059619_HM-ChopsGrille1.jpg?fit=2048%2C2048px&amp;quality=1#038;ssl=1\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/thepointsguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1465059619_HM-ChopsGrille1.jpg?fit=2048%2C2048px&amp;quality=1#038;ssl=1 2048w,https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/thepointsguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1465059619_HM-ChopsGrille1.jpg?fit=600%2C440px&amp;quality=1&amp;w=0&amp;quality=60#038;ssl=1 0w\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-994769\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Chops Grille restaurant on Royal Caribbean\u2019s Harmony of the Seas.

(Photo courtesy of Seabourn)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Famed chef Thomas Keller collaborated with Seabourn in the creation of these steakhouse-like eateries, which Seabourn has described as Keller\u2019s take on the classic American restaurant. While not offering a huge range of traditional steakhouse cuts, their relatively small menus include a thick-cut prime New York strip steak and a rib-eye steak as well as lobster Thermidor and Dover sole meuni\u00e8re. For dessert, there are ice cream sundaes and a seven-layer coconut cake.<\/p>\n<p>Keller also has designed menu items for other dining venues on Seabourn ships, including the casual The Patio outlets found around outdoor pools. Both The Grill by Thomas Keller restaurants and The Patio eateries are, notably, open to Seabourn passengers at no additional charge. That\u2019s a big deal considering that Thomas Keller restaurants on land can set a couple back nearly $1,000 for a single meal.

(Photo by Andy Newman\/Carnival Cruise Line)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>One of the great paradoxes of the cruise world is that one of the lowest-cost operators \u2014 Carnival \u2014 has one of the best steakhouses at sea. At a fixed price of $38 per person, Fahrenheit 555 also is a relative bargain compared to similar steakhouses on land.<\/p>\n<p>Found on Carnival\u2019s four most recently built ships plus a couple of others, Fahrenheit 555 offers all the steakhouse staples, from a 14-ounce New York strip to a nine-ounce filet mignon (both USDA Prime, aged 28 days). Other entree choices include an appropriately marbled hunk of Australian Wagyu beef, grilled lamb chops and Dover sole. Starters include Heritage Berkshire pork belly, bone marrow and hand-cut beef tartare, and \u2014 of course \u2014 jumbo shrimp cocktail.<\/p>\n<p>Carnival has a long tradition of offering high-end steakhouses on its ships. The line began rolling out steakhouses in 2001 with the debut of its Spirit Class ships (where, in one of the great quirks of cruise ship design, the steakhouses are located in red domes that form the forward portions of the ships\u2019 funnels). There now are steakhouses on 19 of Carnival\u2019s 23 vessels, with varying names and decor. When it comes to culinary offerings, they\u2019re all similar to Fahrenheit 555.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cost:<\/strong>\u00a0$38 per person<\/p>\n<h2>Chops Grille<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Where you\u2019ll find it:<\/strong>\u00a0All Royal Caribbean ships except Adventure of the Seas and Majesty of the Seas<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_994769\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-994769\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-994769 size-full lazyautosizes size-full lazyloaded \" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/thepointsguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1465059619_HM-ChopsGrille1.jpg?fit=2048%2C2048px&amp;quality=1#038;ssl=1\" sizes=\"700px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/thepointsguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1465059619_HM-ChopsGrille1.jpg?fit=2048%2C2048px&amp;quality=1#038;ssl=1 2048w,https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/thepointsguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1465059619_HM-ChopsGrille1.jpg?fit=600%2C440px&amp;quality=1&amp;w=0&amp;quality=60#038;ssl=1 0w\" alt=\"Royal Caribbean Chops Grille\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/thepointsguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1465059619_HM-ChopsGrille1.jpg?fit=2048%2C2048px&amp;quality=1#038;ssl=1\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/thepointsguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1465059619_HM-ChopsGrille1.jpg?fit=2048%2C2048px&amp;quality=1#038;ssl=1 2048w,https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/thepointsguy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1465059619_HM-ChopsGrille1.jpg?fit=600%2C440px&amp;quality=1&amp;w=0&amp;quality=60#038;ssl=1 0w\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-994769\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Chops Grille restaurant on Royal Caribbean\u2019s Harmony of the Seas.

While not offering a huge range of traditional steakhouse cuts, their relatively small menus include a thick-cut prime New York strip steak and a rib-eye steak as well as lobster Thermidor and Dover sole meuni\u00e8re.

Both The Grill by Thomas Keller restaurants and The Patio eateries are, notably, open to Seabourn passengers at no additional charge.
