cina54 Posted January 10, 2009 #1 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hi All, We made reservations to Portofinos and are thinking about making one to Chops. I rarely eat beef just prefer chicken and fish. I looked at the chops menu and don't see a lot of choice for me. The price is just a tad more for Chops I am guessing because of the high steak volume. Anyone in my shoes still chose Chops? thanks, cina54 Liberty of the Seas 2/21/09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare silentbob007 Posted January 10, 2009 #2 Share Posted January 10, 2009 In my experience, I found the beef and dessert to be the only thing outstanding at Chops and I was dissatisfied with the appetizers and salads. I love beef and haven't convinced myself to return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeywell Posted January 10, 2009 #3 Share Posted January 10, 2009 My sister is a vegetarian and based upon what I've read on these boards and in reviews, I have chosen Portofino over Chops for our next cruise together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianturner Posted January 10, 2009 #4 Share Posted January 10, 2009 If you go try the Lamb its great. My wife & I by far prefer Chops to Portofino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserbryce Posted January 10, 2009 #5 Share Posted January 10, 2009 the sides and desserts were very good when we went to Chops on Liberty but the steak was certainly the highlight...not sure it would be as enjoyable without it, but still good food...a little like others have mentioned...Portofino may be a good secondary option for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone in my shoes still chose Chops?thanks, cina54 Liberty of the Seas 2/21/09 Nope! I would choose (and have chosen) Portfino twice on any cruise over Chops. The only thing that would make me choose Chops again (over Portofino - I did enjoy Chops just not nearly as much) is if someone else in my party really wanted to do Chops. Even when DH wants a steak, he prefers the one he got in Portofino over the one he got at Chops. And since he loves the "Tiramisu and Shot" dessert over all others, he will always vote Portofino as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare silentbob007 Posted January 10, 2009 #7 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I did not notice the "shot" was still included with the tiramisu on my recent Jewel and Explorer cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoofingPrincess Posted January 10, 2009 #8 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I agree with the others. I've been to both Portofino and Chops, and the only reason I'd go back to Chops is if I were travelling with friends who really wanted to go. I felt Portofino was a far superior experience, and definitely a better choice for someone who doesn't eat beef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranquil Waters Posted January 10, 2009 #9 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I did not notice the "shot" was still included with the tiramisu on my recent Jewel and Explorer cruises. I think I have read here that it varies among ships. DD had it last on Navigator last year before they started doing the shorter cruises..... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyriecat Posted January 10, 2009 #10 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I don't eat beef, pork, or lamb but have been to Chops a couple of times because hubby is a complete carnivore. The salmon and chicken in Chops was good and I really loved the Mud-something dessert. However, the scallops were horrible (add some seasonings!!!) - no flavor and rubbery. If it were just me, I'd skip Chops and go to Portofinos twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
