dakrewser Posted April 22, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 22, 2016 After reading about so many people who bring aboard cases of wine because they can't find anything drinkable in the hundreds of wines on HAL's wine lists; and after reading about how the quality of the steaks - even in the PG - have gone downhill, I'm thinking of Bringing My Own Steaks on my next cruise. I'll bet if I "pre-tip" the cooks in the Lido they'll grill up my beef just the way I like it. And I could probably replenish my stock in each port along the way. Is there a Costco near Port Everglades? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ship2 Posted April 22, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Great idea. We could also throw a line over the side and have the cooks whip up our catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketMan275 Posted April 22, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Is there a Costco near Port Everglades? Tower Shops, 1890 S University Dr, Davie, FL 33324 No need to thank me. Just glad to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sppunk Posted April 22, 2016 #4 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Very good idea. I've never had a good banana pudding on a cruise either - I'll bring the ingredients and give to the head waiter the first night for my standing dessert order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted April 22, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I'll bring my own steaks as well. But I do have to admit that only once in the Pinnacle on our recent cruise, DH got a bad filet. Mine were all great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine were all great. My porterhouse on Oosterdam in October was almost un-cuttable, very tough. It didn't help that the knife seemed inadequate also. I VERY VERY rarely EVER complain about food and did not complain about this either but I saw a post recently where another cruiser experienced the same thing and the steward brought him a new knife with out even being asked! Now that's good service! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a Costco near Port Everglades? You know the more cow you buy, the cheaper it is per pound. Maybe you should think about taking orders from other pax and combining it to get a discount. I'm sure HAL won't mind, we could offer them a little something ($$$) for the use of their coolers, grills, and chefs. Let us know, we sure like our beef on a cruise. Cheers! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted April 22, 2016 #8 Share Posted April 22, 2016 It only works if you are having steaks in your room. If you want to have them outside your cabin, you have to pay steerage. It's like corkage, but for beef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfish Posted April 22, 2016 #11 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I really like chicken, but it must be fresh. We have a balcony on our next cruise, so I could put the chicken coop out there and just take a chicken to the chef each day. I'm also bringing some corn on the cob. Do you think it will last the week unshucked or should I bring along a cooler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only going to bring the recipes I want made ;) I'm sure the ship will be able to supply everything needed. Or find it at a port :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ger_77 Posted April 23, 2016 #23 Share Posted April 23, 2016 It only works if you are having steaks in your room. If you want to have them outside your cabin, you have to pay steerage. It's like corkage, but for beef. I'll be bringing the Hibachi and coals because there's no way I'm paying steerage - they're charging me enough already! I'm wondering though, can I remove the daily "service charge" and add Sirloin Tips? Smooth Sailing ! :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serendipity1499 Posted April 23, 2016 #25 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Hi All..Can I get in on this too? :):) I prefer filet mignon.. Omaha steaks is having a sale now.. We can buy them by the case wholesale... Each order gets 8 free burgers.. I'll be happy to co-ordinate..No extra charge except a carrying charge of one bottle of red wine per order...
