Samba Grill on Radiance Food Porn

[CruiseMomTX]

We were on the Radiance 10 night sailing 2/27/23. We ate at Samba twice & it is a lot of food & yummy. Here are some pictures. I didn’t get the actual salad bar but did get our plate of food we got from there. 

 

 

They come around with the different cuts of meat in this order.

We were on Allure in March and ate at Samba twice.  Certainly our 'go to' specialty splurge.

So glad you enjoyed it! I've never sailed on the Radiance, but we never miss Samba on the Allure.

Ate at Samba twice on Allure. Izumi and Samba are our favorites.  We’re glad it’s still on Radiance and plan on eating there again.

Samba is awesome. We ate there on the Allure and the Radiance. In addition to the food the service has always been excellent.

My favorite restaurant on the Radiance.  So much better and faster then Chops.

Thanks for this!  We'll be on Radiance next year for the Panama Canal cruise and I wanted to try it out.

We will be going to Sambas on Allure in a few months.  Our first experience and we can't wait!

My wife and I just got off the Allure yesterday. The Samba Grill is the Solarium Bistro during the day.

 

We ate at Samba Grill on Tuesday, which was our 25th anniversary. The staff was wonderful. We usually go to Fogo de Chão at home, so we were looking forward to how the ship replicated the experience. We were not disappointed.

 

The salad bar was, of course, limited by Brazilian steakhouse standards. They had a basic salad bar section, but also had a second section with pre-portioned items in different bowls. At the table, they brought the Brazilian cheese bread, a tray of fried bananas, sweet potato (not mashed potato), and a few other items we can't remember (we were focused on each other, naturally 😍).

 

For meats, they brought pork sausage, bacon-wrapped chicken, filet mignon, top and bottom sirloin, pork chop, but we skipped the lamb.

 

We skipped the dessert because we ordered a cake for our anniversary. The cake was too much for the two of us, so we shared it with a family of six at a nearby table (it was one of their son's birthday), and the rest we gave to the restaurant staff.

 

We will definitely go back on future cruises.

Samba is so good.  My sister and I went on our January Radiance cruise.  We split some of the meats as there was so much to eat.  I am booked to go again for Alaska cruise in August.

I’m looking forward to two nights at Samba during our B2B in Alaska.

 

My plan is MDR on formal nights, each speciality restaurant twice and Tracy’s Crab Shack.

We are Fogo worshipers so I agree with you.  Plus we have our own pellet smoker and grill plus a rotisserie at home.  We are picky about our cuts of meat so we either use a butcher or order from Wild Fork.  We loved Samba on Radiance and the Allure.  I agree about the salad bar as Fogos is the best.  We don't like Chops that much and weren't fans of Blu on Celebrity.  We love Picanya so we were really happy it was at Samba.
