Most Expensive Restaurant On Icon of the Seas! Overpriced or Worth it?

Get a free bag of roasted-to-order coffee with select subscription plans: drinktrade.com/ordinary (sponsored)
We are on Icon of the Seas, the biggest cruise ship in the world and today it docks in St. Kitts for the first time ever, and we’ll get off the ship and get into some monkey business. Back on the ship we’ll explore more areas we haven’t seen yet, including Rye & Bean a coffee themed cocktail bar and the Park Cafe in Central Park which has a sandwich that is to die for. We’ll spend some more time exploring the Surfside neighborhood, a section of the ship dedicated to families but that doesn’t mean there isnt some fun for adults. And at night we’ll go to Empire Supper Club, the most expensive restaurant on the ship, which offers a fine dining 8-course meal, each with their own paired cocktails and songs performed by a New York jazz trio. Is it overpriced or worth the hype? Come with us on this adventure!

[@hypnotherapy69]

Maby fun fact: The purpouse of having the pinky out is to cusson the glass or cup so it won´t make a sound when you place it down, it also served the dual purpose to cussion the cup or glass so the stem don´t shatter since crystal glass and bone china used to be super fragile(and still is). There are also some sources that say it was to touch the glass as little as possible because servants had touched it, I don´t know about that one...

[@hypnotherapy69]

It was suprisingly common to get injuriess by the stem of a broken champagen glass

[@hypnotherapy69]

that looked like creyfish.

[@SpookyKassie]

I just really love that Kidder always finds carrot cake without fail 😂❤

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Haha

[@DLFH]

I've been to multiple multicourse food and drink dinners and this one looks well beyond worth it for the $200 price. From food alternate choices and food and drink pairings to portion size so you can enjoy the whole meal without being miserable at the end, this was an ultimate meal and entertainment experience.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

🙌

[@krisb3576]

Thanks so much for the captions of the food you were eating at the fancy restaurant! Very helpful.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Glad it was helpful! We always try to do that

Amazing video! I'm loving your Icon series and it really seems that Royal Caribbean nailed it with this ship. Hopefully the prices come down eventually because it's crazy right now

[@Mu-podcast]

That was amazing to watch. Thank you for sharing that experience. The emotions on Kitra's face when she realized that she liked the taste of rabbit was wonderful. She looked like she needed another cocktail to process what was happening.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@anthonydepetrillo5403]

Love your videos so so much. I have been deep diving recently watching as much as I can. Love the cruise videos despite my intense fear of water 😂❤❤

That’s awesome. Maybe someday you’ll try one. They aren’t scary at all

[@anatoliagolden-hall4553]

I’m very much enjoying your Icon of the Seas series! That restaurant looked fabulous (and I usually don’t enjoy restaurants that serve small bites).

It's as though the restaurant was telling you a story and leading through it. I love it!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Yes such a great detail

[@travellawma]

Love your Icon series! For the supper club, are there non-alcoholic pairings available?

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

We didn’t ask but I’m guessing they could make some.

[@AmusementLabs]

I noticed a nice touch with the background of the Empire stage. 8 courses, there's 8 rings (of I assume neon) behind her. Looks like they're supposed to light up matching to each course. I like it. :)

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Oh that’s a good point, we didn’t notice that!

[@barakaacim]

"East of Houston" is a play on the name of an area of NYC (the theme of the restaurant) called South of Houston (SOHO). So it's pronounced House-ton. Additionally, the "Delta Theme" is Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin and is probably the unofficial theme of NYC. (or at least it was before "New York, New York" hit the scene.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

👍

[@PhoenixVic21]

Ah! This is a great point on the NYC theme

Just wanted to let you know my husband and I enjoy your videos. Informative, fun and pleasant to watch. In one of JoJo's videos of the same cruise you said that by the time your videos came out everyone had seen them because JJ was doing them right away, while that is true your perspective is very much appreciated. That dinner looked so good, $200 a person is not bad but I would not pay more either. Thanks for the fun watch, keep it up. Your friend Kevin (? I think that is his name) is funny.....his faces, I totally agree. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks.

We were just on Icon of the Seas last week and ate at Empire Supper Club for my birthday and was one of the best dining experience I have ever had. My favorite course was the raviolo.

Very similar design style and colors

[@James_Ford4815]

Lots of good local pizza shops that use those New York style deck ovens ... If you're in SoCal and ever in the Huntington Beach area look up 'Ghost Pizza Kitchen' right off the 405 freeway on Edinger ave ,,, they really make a great New York slice ,, but order the whole pizza you'll get more flavor from a fresh made pizza vs a reheated slice ... They also have one location in LA and one in Burbank too

[@kathleenbeachmaui]

Hi! Great video and I am enjoying the way you all presented the Empire restaurant part (compared to you friends who do videos like ‘Recess’ ) easier to follow ! I’m not an alcohol drinker, so I wonder if the elevator price reflects all the alcohol you get, and if there’s an option to not buy the alcohol and pay less?

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

We liked how Recess presented all the courses in their videos with the illustrative cards. And no I don’t think they discount the experience if you don’t drink alcohol but I heard they will replace the drinks with zero proof mocktails

[@acery75]

We haven’t done either. Peter doesn’t like seafood and both of us aren’t big into French cuisine. We are more interested to try remy someday but I don’t know, neither look from what we’ve seen and the reviews we’ve watched like something we’d enjoy but I do want to push ourselves out of our comfort zones and try it.
