MSC Virtuosa - Butcher's Cut Steakhouse Review - Is It The BEST Paid For Restaurant On The Ship?

So we're back with another speciality restaurant review on board the MSC Virtuosa. This time we are trying Butcher's Cut, which is described as an American steakhouse.
We did this restaurant on the MSC Seaview back in September and really enjoyed it, so will this one be as good? Once again we explain how to get the best deal for this, how we booked it and what dining package we went for.
Like with all speciality restaurants available on most cruise lines they are indeed optional. We have paid such a bargain price for all our MSC Cruises that we think it's worth the extra charge to treat yourself, especially if you are a steak lover this place you will love.
Apologies now if we make you hungry 😅

Hi there, another great video from you both. Just to say I want to get on the cruise sometime. Hopefully this next year really do enjoy watching your videos so much interest in detail and I did like this restaurant as well. Keep up the good work

[@alohajim3783]

Awesome video! Thank you!

[@wellifthemediasaysit]

The Fillet Mignon, served on MSC Seaviews Butchers Cut, was exquisite! Had it again in the speciality seafood restaurant the next day!

[@mariaankritt5844]

Happy new year to you both xx looking forward to your 2023 travels you are doing a great job xx

Just returned from the same cruise you carried out to northern Europe We carried out your great advice and booked our prepaid specialty restaurants as soon as we boarded the ship. I am a pescatarian so love my fish but don't like meat watched your vlog never tried bone marrow, so tried it, did finish it but will stick to my fish. ( if you don't try thing you have never had you will not know if you like it or not that's why i tried the bone marrow) Also tried the Hola as you said only 1 fish dish and very little vegetarian opinions on the menu my wife went through the the meat dishes and they made special vegetarian dishes for me which were not on the menu, so veggies can stuff them self here. Must say the ice cream taco's bloody marvellous , came out stuffed. We would like to say we had an excellent cruise and a lot of that was down to you both for all the excellent advice and information you gave in your vlogs. many many thanks if we ever come across you on a cruise we will buy you a coke (Mexican bottle of coke if they do it)

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Thanks so much for the lovely comment we really appreciate it. That's so good at Hola that they were able to cook you some vegetarian dishes. Very useful for others to know they do this. Well done on trying the bone marrow as it's not for everyone, but at least you gave it a go 👍 and thanks very much will take you up on that offer of a Mexican coke sometime 😀 Glad you had an amazing time

[@highspec_tech90]

A great in-depth review. Will be sailing next month and it was great seeing what their idea of medium is, as I like mine more on the rare side and hate it when it’s overcooked. For the first time, going to upgrade to one of the á la carte steaks (24oz T-Bone), half price with my free diamond member meal. Your NY Sirloin had a perfect cook, the fillet was a bit over, not quite mid-well but was still overcooked by a couple mins for sure.

[@TravelingTramps]

Looks like a pretty good dining deal Kev and Stacey. Saw the menu prices and comparing to ordering a la carte you came out way ahead. A show too! The food looked delicious and portions that are too big like the salad is never a problem. Some may order the salad ala carte. But like Stacey on a potato we'd like the cheese grated. Still would have loved it! Looked like a wonderful meal and we would have gone back happy but unable to do anything else afterward! Loved the review.

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Thanks so much Dave and Kathy, how are you both? Happy New Year and enjoy all those lovely travel plans in 2023 😍

[@joannelycett6683]

Another great video, lol no warning for the bone marrow, salad was wow size impressive xx

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Haha it definitely tastes alot nicer than what it looks 😋

[@catherine4159]

OMG mouth watering those steaks!! We are booked on the new ship next Spring with the Euribia. On deck plans I've seen there is a Butchers Cut Restaurant but yet it is not offered in any of the specialty dining experiences. They offer a combination of these options: L'Atelier Grill, Kaito Sushi & Robata, Kaito Teppanyaki and Hola! Tacos & Cantina. I can't really find much at all about L'Atelier Grill. Strange the Cut is not included in any of the options. Unless the deck plan site is incorrect. Either way, looks amazing and appreciate the vid:)

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Hi Catherine and yes strange the butchers cut isn't included 🤔 and its so frustrating isn't it lol they don't make it easy to to find out much information beforehand

[@catherine4159]

@OneCouplesAdventure the ship is doing its first sail tomorrow so it may make it easier over the next couple weeks to get some additional info. Thanks again

[@petergabell6274]

Looks wonderful, we need to try.

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Thanks Peter, hope you're both well

[@alecmargaret]

Those steaks looks so delicious 😋 I definitely need to try them next time 😁

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

They were delicious 😋

[@angelasimpson7522]

We’re going on the World Europa in a couple of weeks for the repositioning cruise so figured we might need the speciality restaurant package! Thoroughly enjoyed both of your Butchers Cut reviews and am going to try really hard not to eat the bread so that I have room for dessert!

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Thanks so much Angela and the world Europa looks amazing. Hehe good advice about the bread , wish we had the willpower to do that lol 😆

[@scottmckenzie365]

Happy new year to you stray u my number 1

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Happy New Year to you too

[@pjourneys5337]

Good restaurant !

[@markrigby7650]

I’m so full. So full. So desserts are here😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Haha got to make room for them Desserts

[@carmelshepherd6739]

I've booked Virtuosa October 22 2023 yay 😀

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Yay 😁

[@stephcooke88]

We got engaged at Butchers Cut on Seaview!! We did the Chefs table. (he'd planned to do it in Capri, but the spot he pre picked wasnt as good in real life!) Definitely will look into this option for our cruise in June 23.

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Arrrr, this is lovely. Congratulations 😁. What a lovely memory for you to have.And we loved it the steak was delicious . Happy New Year as well 😁😘

[@stephcooke88]

@@OneCouplesAdventure thanks guys, happy new year to you too! Look forward to following more of your adventures 😊😍

[@sandraprince1742]

Food looks delicious

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

It was soooo nice lol

[@TP11458]

Those steaks look delicious. I would want my own bag of bread to be honest 😁

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

The bread is amazing

[@nmax1969]

Hi, great video, thanks. Never used a speciality restaurant before but might be tempted. Booked for virtuoso next summer and have an embarkation time of 3.00pm. Do you think they will let us on if we turn up early?

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

The 1st time we went on the Virtuosa in june, we had the same time. We did try to get on a couple of hours early, and we did but the ship wasn't busy. So it's a do it at your own risk. I wouldn't try to get on at 11am lol

[@irenedavo3768]

Remember to Thumbs Up 👆

[@markcrabtree6793]

hi guys, myself, my wife, & 16yo daughter will be sailing in may. it's a ship i've wanted to try for a while. only a 5 day trip for us during school half term. what was capacity like? in your videos you don't seem to have much trouble, but we don't always see you walking around during the day. are the pool / bar areas crowded during the day? gonna try & book the duo package when it comes available. cheers

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

It all depends on when you go. On this one the outside areas were quiet because it was freezing. Have you watched out 1st lot of virtuosa vlogs? We did a lot more things in the day then so we relaxed more in the day on this cruise as we needed some down time in the hot tubs 😆

[@olivershingler]

Hi guys, which microphones are you using now? I've seen in the reflections that you have a shotgun-style one stuck to the shoe of your camera. Do you use that most of the time or just the built-in one on the camera? Sorry, just curious as I'm looking to get something to use with my iPhone.

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

We use the sennheiser mke 200, we use this all the time now. Its a front facing shotgun but its just as good at the rear thats why we choose this one. Hes the amazon link they do a mobile pack for a bit more, we just got the mic on its own but either comes with a cable for using with cameras and one for using with mobiles. www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-Professional-Directional-Microphone-509256/dp/B08YS2JKMG/ref=asc_df_B08YS2JKMG/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=501251500779&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6025385985078133804&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9046443&hvtargid=pla-1441203884632&psc=1&th=1&psc=1

[@olivershingler]

@@OneCouplesAdventure That's brilliant, thank you very much. It's difficult to trust the online ratings, but hearing one actually in use in your videos gives me much more confidence! Keep up the great videos, I can't go on holiday anywhere nearly as often as you guys so these keep me going in between!

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Thank you. And the sound hasn't had anything done to it in editing

[@lovetotravel4927]

I love a good steak and this looked delicious, how are the spanx Stacey? 🤣🤣

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Hahaha they survived just about!

[@lesliereynolds4492]

Another great food review. I would only pass on the bone marrow.

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Thanks so much Leslie, and it's alot tastier than what it looks lol

[@liseoppenheimer7255]

We are on Seaview in May 2023. How face ahead can we book dinner specials?

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Do you mean the speciality packages? Not sure how far in advance. Download the MSC for me app and log in with your booking and it will show you on there

[@nmax1969]

Hi, I rang MSC today and asked same question. My cruise is July and they said option to pre book restaurants will be there in 2-3 weeks from now.

[@stevenblackburn7250]

We tried it a few weeks ago and as with all the other 3 speciality dining restaurants we tried it was very poor 👎

[@garyatkinson5699]

Which is better guys Iona or this ship ?
