im leaving to Cozumel, Jamaica, and grand cayman in a few weeks. I know cash is king but for security reasons and kinda peace of mind, I don't plan on having much cash on me. My question is if Amex is available in the islands for most cases (I understand some won't). Or should I go ahead and get a Visa (cause I know it's used worldwide)?

Before I speak about this let me just say, different ships, different crew (waiters/waitress) which equals a different experience. Like I posted before never been at a steakhouse on Carnival, but one guy that post a lot on these threads JAMMMAN posted different then what you are saying. He claims he always gets a 2nd starter/app., now is he skipping the salad?? He also did say if you get an extra entree you will pay the cover charge again, but it seems like the extras such as dessert, starters ect they will give you at no extra cost. Now to MOONGAL as to which steak to get IMHO (I LOVE, LOVE STEAKS:hearteyes:), but my favorite is always a ribeye. This cut is marbled with the fat and makes for a juicier more flavorful steak, again IMHO. Hope this helps you. As for the post about RCCL steak going down hill it was about 5yrs since we were at Chops so this maybe true, all I know is when we where there 2012 it was fantastic. This was aboard the Oasis of the Seas.

Curious, which ribeye would you pick? I know they have the cowboy and the spiced rib eyes.

Does Carnival have Crown Royal, Jagermeister, and Red Bull on the bar and if so are these items offer as part of the Cheers program?

Yes to the Red Bull, the original and sugar free. Yes to Jager, not sure about the crown royal. And yes it's park of the cheers program.

they are allowed on carnival.... they were taken off the ban list...

Ohhhh snap, gotta get my Karma ready then!

Wait how did you get a drone into the ship? Aren't they banned?

I had the spiced ribeye on the breeze and it was disgusting. The spice is just way to much go with the cowboy.

Maybe you got a bad steak? Alot of people here enjoy it, it seems.

Appreciate all the good advice!

Which days are the formal nights on the Vista 6 day? I've understood that one is on a thursday and thats the day Jay Leno will be having his show.

These pictures are from the Magic steakhouse, we both agreed the spiced ribeye was the better of the two

Cowboy cut

Can I ask what made the spice better over the cowboy? Is it the rub that makes a difference?

I almost always go with the cowboy. The flavor is very good, I get it cooked medium rare and the meat is usually almost as tender as most filets I get at home.

 

The ribeye is good as well, but I am not a huge fan of the seasoning that they put on it. I had an after taste for the entire next day when I got the ribeye last time.

 

I would post pictures, but my wife draws the line at food pictures when we go to the steak house... something about us focusing on us, not pictures....

 

Have a great trip! I am down to 9 days till my next Vista adventure!

Thanks you too! If you have any tips/to do on the vista let me know!

Vista: 30 days til my quarter century birthday!

They are both amazing. It really comes down to whether you want a traditionally seasoned steak (cowboy) or one with a spice rub. If you truly love the flavor of a ribeye, the cowboy is the way to go.

So basically, they are both ribeyes just with different seasonings?

What type of spice rub is it, is it spicy?

How's the fat on both?

Going on the vista soon, have reservations for the first night and just wanted to look thru the menu. Can't decide on which of the 2 to have (prefer a larger steak over the small fillet). So I'm asking for your help/suggestions on which to have (cooked medium) don't want to pick something that's not that good. What exactly are the differences with the two of them? Pics would be awesome!

So we will be on this ship soon and just wanna know how I can get a table for just my party of 3 in the MDR?

In regards to the steakhouse:

1) are the appetizers as many as you want or just allowed 1?

2) which steak would you recommend and how was it?
