[@JSHIPLIFE]

Sorry about the audio towards the end of the video… Unfortunately I didn’t know there were Mic issues. Did you try Big Chicken on the Mardi Gras? If not would you? BE SURE TO LIKE AND SHARE!

[@nylancollins4002]

I’ll be trying it on the Mardi Gras September 11th

[@Juschillin2024]

I'll be trying all of it next November!

[@claywood2169]

Man up with the mic....lol

[@JSHIPLIFE]

@@claywood2169 ??

[@johnhawkins9747]

I will try it next week.

[@billjohnsonem]

Jay is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!!. Shaq's is incredible (breakfast AND lunch on the Mardi Gras Inaugural cruise)!!! In fact, I can't speak negatively on any food source there. all of it was good!!!

[@joentexas]

Shaq's will be the first place I eat when on the Mardi Gras, thanks.

[@darlenehinds2714]

Can’t wait to sail Mardi Gras and try it

[@jessicageriene6841]

Me either...that sandwiches looks soo good

[@christophermichaelclarence6003]

Same here. Look yummy

[@SteveCChapman]

I would definitely try one of those chicken sandwiches next time I’m on a Carnival ship. Cheers!

[@shalundracole7932]

I will definitely be trying it July 2022. And yes I would call it “Shaq’s” “Shaq’s Chicken” “Shaquille’s” or even “O’Neal’s Chicken”. Thanks for sharing J 🤩❤️

[@charlesa.4819]

The Aristocrat Sandwich was superb! "Shaqs" Big Chicken, A real Carnival Win!

[@tripstracka1643]

Heading to Vegas on 9/1. Definitely want to try. Thanks Jay

[@kevwwong]

Glad you "took one for the team"!

[@number1chic]

Yeah I think about them sandwiches every day…uncle Jerome sandwich was my favorite 🤤

[@JSHIPLIFE]

Lol We gotta go back! So good meeting you Samira☺️

[@princessconsuelabananahamm1571]

Good video! Now I’m craving a cruise AND a chicken sandwich! Hugs from Mexico enjoy your vacation!

[@jackbarnes4734]

That will be the first place I eat from when I get to go on a cruise

[@KathyL4444]

You are doing a great job on.your videos. Enjoying every one of them. Keep up the great work!

[@JSHIPLIFE]

Thank you so much!

[@javiitorresss]

You are super natural on camera, great video and review man keep it up!!!

[@JSHIPLIFE]

Thank you!

[@philpettit145]

I grew up with southern fried chicken and my mom's chicken was amazing. It was without a doubt the best fried chicken you could get.....that is until my wife mastered the recipe and then she (my wife) was the master! Anyway, I'll have to try it for myself. Good stuff Jay!

[@rosalynnecole23]

WOW! 10 out of 10!!! Nice review J.

[@landaroon7793]

Happy to hear it's going to be on the Radiance!

[@AnnaPaul56]

Me too

[@Goldisks7]

Me, also. I'm hoping to cruise on the Radiance Jan '22. In the meantime, I think I'll try the Glendale, CA location.

[@amyamy8206]

The color and graphic theme of the restaurant looks like inside a burger king

[@shopper5969]

WOW!!! I love chicken sandwiches and those chicken sandwiches looks juicy and good lol. Thanks for making me hungry and sharing.

[@devon7584]

Looks delish! I look forward to trying this one day!

[@junestubbs4008]

Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Love it

[@dangerzone24]

thanks for the vid! I've been wanting to see what this was all about. Can't wait to try it.

[@laurelbrennan6295]

Justin, chicken looks really good. I could almost smell it and I am watching this at 11:00 p.m. and now I'm hungry! 🐔

[@pchelloo]

Looks yummy! Carnival Cruise Lines are always upping their game! Thanks for yet another super update, Jay. >>>>LET'S GO! :)

[@eleanor4482]

That chicken looked so delicious. Thanks for sharing.😎

[@angelaterranova1577]

That looks good! Thx for the review!

[@JSHIPLIFE]

Thanks for watching!

[@aaronhorenstein7501]

The Big Aristotle, with barbecue sauce, is excellent. I'd recommend it for those who, like me, don't prefer mayonnaise.

[@brendaseegars2889]

Now I really want to try this restaurant. Thanks for sharing.

[@Juschillin2024]

Setting sail on that ship next November! Can't wait!!!

[@alej8902]

Great review! Thank you J!

[@JSHIPLIFE]

Thank you!

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

Amazing that it wasn’t an up charge to eat there! I would end up eating there until I was sick of it, unfortunately.

[@noeldillabough]

When I cruise I half live at Guy's now I'll have to split my time up!

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

@@noeldillabough That’s too funny, Noel!

[@lisathompson2036]

I will be on the Mardi Gras in March and I cannot wait to try it!

[@almadixon-cider31]

"Aft" Reminds Me Of Another 3 Letter Word Starting With "A" That Refers To The Rear End!

[@almadixon-cider31]

And Also "After"

[@breannmontgomery5011]

i love chicken too!!! i'm ready to taste that

[@tammymunzert7434]

Can't wait to try it!!

[@Cloud7Travel]

Wow 10/10. It is a must try then!🤤🤤🤤

[@sarahgreen7704]

Fried chicken is my favorite food. Definitely eating here when we sail in October.

[@jessicageriene6841]

My mouth is watering just watching this, I cannot wait to check this out.

[@wr1u]

I can’t wait to try this. Mardi Gras in March.

[@MHFamilyAdventures]

Great review! And I agree- let’s call it “Shaq’s” 😃

[@michaelbarnwell7627]

I’m going on a 7 days cruise on the ship next January 18, 2024. Can’t wait

[@inhocsignovinces1081]

A month away from my September 11th departure from Port Canaveral. First time on the Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday).

[@kelslo74]

This by far in my research is rated as a MUST HAVE! I gotta wait till next year to try it though 😭

[@jonc3903]

Would so love to try it! Unfortunately I would never sail Carnival so probably will never get to.

[@skipwilliams7288]

I just got very hungry watching your Vlog.

[@tmlforsyth]

Being paired up with Popeyes is quite an accolade.

[@loricrocker4669]

I’m so jelly! Wish they were on all ship! Guess I’ll settle for the amazing food on the Vista for now😍 and look forward to this some day!

[@terrifromm5085]

I will eat there just because Shaq is a great guy!

[@rdl4530]

Gotta get back on Carnival and get me some shaq.

[@reillyjamessullivan6940]

On this ship right now! Love it

[@JSHIPLIFE]

I should’ve done a B2B

[@darleneeastburn7639]

Ok J . Now I’m hungry 😋

[@JSHIPLIFE]

😅

[@gthornton3]

Whoop whoop first again

[@DAVEfiend42]

I am going on that boat in December the Mari Gras and I have been on the original boat to I can’t wait to try his chicken

[@laytoyasewell8653]

That Shaq sauce sooooo goood

[@gizzmogirl]

Wonder if they got the name from the Atlanta/Marietta area land mark the Big Chicken.

[@travellady2783]

Thanks for uploading this video, for those of us who love to eat! LOL! #TeamGreedy

[@lboutard]

Looks so good!

[@peacelife]

Mouth watering haha! I wish u also tried others at the same time

[@G0TEN221]

I went on the carnival cruise and big chicken was sooooo good I tried the chicken biscuit and it was amazing!

[@gwp1957]

Very good

[@noeldillabough]

His figure towers above you, I wanna do a selfie there lol

[@twoseriousdogs6762]

Been waiting to try these since our cruise got cancelled the past two years. Even worse is I live in Vegas and had no idea there's one just minutes away🤯

[@TheUltimateCruiser]

Jay, that looked awesome! Is Shaq’s better than a Chic Fil-A chicken sandwich?

[@markgriffin9353]

I love Chechen and can really picky about!! thx

[@wmfrow]

will be trying it with my family, 1-21-22 on the Radiance

[@MrBstacks100]

Them sandwiches look fire. I'll be getting one in February on Radiance if Covid don't fck it up.

[@dianejohnson6867]

I absolutely can't wait until I try this. Do you happen to know where the home port of the Celebration will be?

[@elite4681]

I think Miami

[@Randy-pk7ub]

Can't wait to sail Mardi Gras and try it looks absolutely delicious and dam perfect score i gotta try it thanks Jay!! 😋

[@christinegentry5051]

Finally! Yard Bird! I don't eat beef burgers so palette was very challenged on Carnival. I was hoping Guy's would introduce Turkey Burgers at one point. I will be hitting Shaq's when I get on board. Thanks Jay!

[@steverobertson1729]

I still am wondering why he didnt name it "Chicken Shaq"🤔💁 Well, regardless, i am so looking forward to trying it!

[@TBIZZY83]

I had the exact same thought! It's seems so obvious to go that route.

[@barbarahubble8635]

I'm most disappointed about not being able to try this next month since my cruise got canceled yesterday because part of our group isn't vaccinated. I guess we will be driving to Vegas for a weekend to give it a try instead. 🙃

[@jaredcollins6302]

LOVED the review! Did you try the other sandwiches or sides? When I cruise on Mardi Gras I think I will visit Shaq’s Big Chicken multiple times!

[@johnathanmcfadden8978]

I eat this all the time living in Vegas... The big Aristotle is my favorite.. However I hate the thin wedge fry's...

[@spider82666]

Those sandwiches look 😋. Big Chicken? They shouldn't named it "Shaq's Chicken Shack!"

[@MarrianBrown]

This was the best thing on the boat🚢

[@kellymarroquin541]

Did you get your shottttt can’t wait to cruise stay safe

[@JSHIPLIFE]

I did

[@Leolove817]

I'll be on the Radiance in November. I'm definitely going to try that chicken. I wonder if they have a grilled chicken option......

[@JSHIPLIFE]

They do!

[@timothycarney5561]

How did it compare to the chicken sandwich on coca cay shack ? That sandwich was great

[@JSHIPLIFE]

I’ll let you know when I have it!

[@philpettit145]

Oooh, now you're in my neighborhood..... ..

[@joemakingdoe9727]

You are the 2nd brother I see that likes it. 😆. I will need to try it out.

[@kadenling3267]

I never went on board a carnival.

[@monkeyb1820]

but did you take a Shaq chicken over to Guy's and have a combined Shaq and Guy burger?!??

[@JSHIPLIFE]

No. I’ll have to next time!

[@robinrocha2091]

Small and handsome 😊with all due respect. Great food review! More please.

[@pa77083]

Thumbs up on your video and content .. WELL DONE ... cant wait to try the chicken! But, please get a better microphone or maybe a wireless of some sort ... hard to hear when you are not right next to the camera.

[@JSHIPLIFE]

Have a Wireless. They new Rode Wireless Go II with modifications. There was just an issue with the stupid dongle for the iPhone. Watch my previous videos and you will see… I wasn’t happy with what happened with this one.. Not one bit

[@jazzamcc]

As an outsider in Australia, why are there always pickles?? And why are they called sandwiches if they are on a bun?

[@aimeerogers4542]

I think I hate you. I'm on a diet and this video left me drooling.

[@JSHIPLIFE]

Lol Just have one sandwich and get back to it after!

[@holliegrayson3276]

Right!! And I just started a pllant-based diet. Dagnabbit! We don't normally do Carnival but this is making me want to go...for this chicken!!

[@pjb2224]

Had it for the first time and I must say the big Aristotle is my new favorite chicken sandwich lol 🔥

[@kprenesti]

Do they have Chicken biscuits for breakfast? I love me a good chicken biscuit!

[@JSHIPLIFE]

They do!

[@jennylynne4414]

That sounds better than Guy's to me!

[@JSHIPLIFE]

It was in my opinion

[@thebraz21]

Still not going in carnival until they get an real drink package

[@thomaslanguell7257]

Does the MDE pair well with Oreo Cheesecake?

[@JSHIPLIFE]

Wouldn’t know.. Carnival doesn’t have it..

[@bruciethecuz9031]

Hi Jay. I've always thought of it as "Shaq's Chicken Shack" , but then again that could possibly be misconstrued as meaning something else. 😆😳 Seriously though, yourself and several other vloggers should be considered as spokes persons for the franchise. Nearly all the reviews have been very positive. Great episode Jay ! 👍👍👍

[@tonitomko463]

Is it spicy? I don’t really like spicy foods much.

[@JSHIPLIFE]

No. They have different options

[@CesarinPillinGaming]

How crunchy was it? It looks hella crunchy from the video. Is it also spicy? I'm a sucker for spicy fried chicken in a burger. But were I live we have such a bad offering (only Carl Jr's and Chilis's have a decent chicken burger, the rest is garbage). I hope someday I get to taste Shaq's

[@JSHIPLIFE]

Horrible options where you are. Yes it was crispy and yes they have a spicy option

[@michaelramsey7592]

Went didn't they call it Chicken Shaq. 🤣🤣🤣

[@JSHIPLIFE]

Exactly!

[@carmenharris4715]

Hi J.

[@Tr3y629]

LET'S GOOOOO

Shaq sauce vs donkey sauce

[@lifeofbuckhead3585]

O wi Shaq is the man on carnival but the burger 🍔 can't top omg

[@wolfgangholtzclaw2637]

So I am going to book a trip on a cruise liner to get some Shaq Chicken??? Don't think so, everyone doing Fried Chicken Shaq!!!!!, even Walmart and every other Grocery Store... Good luck Shaq, as many competitors as the NBA!!! Up there with Pop Eyes??? Then you break even, Shaq, all you have to do , is out do KFC, Popeyes, Golden Chick, Chicken Express, Church's Chicken, Bojangles, Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken, Bush's Chicken, not to mention also: Albertson's Deli Chicken, Publix Deli Chicken, Kroger's Deli Chicken... Yeah Shaq, how much are the shares selling for??? ... crickets.... Shaq??? Shaq?? Were you drunk when you decided to do this??? I remember Burger King forty years ago did a fried chicken sandwich, was good, ate about eight or nine of them before the wife got tired of it.... Did you talk to the Burger King??? hmmmm? nope!!! OK then.. you are on your own!!! Shaq, just hope you don't lose your behind on this crazy deal.
