Any Good Steaks?

[MiceFan]

I had the best steak of my life on the adult beach at Castaway Cay. It was a ribeye that was as big as the plate! So yummy.....

I've never been to Castaway Cay. Are all the restaurants counter service or table service or do they have both types of restaurants? I wasn't planning to be separated from the kiddos, but it sounds like a quick visit to the adult beach for those steaks might be worth it! Thanks!

It is a buffet style, and they will give you the steak right off of the grill. You could take the shuttle out there and eat real quick I was supposed to eat lunch with my kids, but I could not pass up those steaks! Have a great trip!

Sorry, I didn't completely answer your question. I believe all of the restaurants are buffet-style

I had a great NY strip at Cabanas (the aforementioned pool-deck restaurant). It's a sit-down at night and the steak was the best thing I ate on the cruise. Nicely seasoned and cooked exactly as I ordered it (medium). In the MDRs over the course of 3 cruises my beef had consistently been overcooked, so I was maybe a little too exited about food that actually came the way I ordered it. It may have to do with the fact that Cabanas has its own (smaller) kitchen, so the food isn't quite as "mass-produced"? Don't know that for sure, though.

Fwiw, I never bothered sending food back because dinner took so long anyway and I'm not exactly a beef aficionado--it didn't ruin my cruise--but your servers WILL try to make sure your dinner is to your liking. Don't be afraid to ask! Wait...one correction . The steak was always cooked correctly at Palo and there I WOULD have sent it back if it weren't. Happy cruising!

I will second the New York Strip at Cabanas!

On our past Disney Cruises, we've never tried the dinner at Cabanas until last week on the Dream. It was a wonderful experience! I ordered the NY Strip and it arrived exactly as ordered, nicely seasoned and delicious!

I always asked for my steaks rare and they came out pink so I was happy they were not overcooked. Still, the steaks were just ok. I guess I'm spoiled buying the USDA Prime beef at Costco.

Thanks Melissa, I'll have to see what DH & I can figure out with the kiddos!

Sounds like I'll be pleased on-board, apparently I'm the rare Texan who likes her steaks well done!

You're not alone. I eat mine medium well and I'm a Texan born and bred. It actually kinda turns my stomach to see a cooked steak still bleeding.

No, not Austin! I'm not THAT weird!

Another Texan, and Aggie , who likes her steak one notch above mooing.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one!

We had a prime rib one night I can't remember from what restaurant it was from on the fantasy but it was really good. We even asked our server for it another night and he was able to get it for us again the next night we liked it so much.

I know my DH is looking forward to sampling the steaks on the Fantasy.

I'll find out for myself in about three weeks!

Cabanas porterhouse was AMAZING!!

 

[camarks1234]

I haven't read all the replies, but the only good steak we had was in Palo - everything else was just meh.

 

[dad4dis]

I didn't know that Cabanas served porterhouse steaks.
