Steak Dinner at the CAGNEY'S STEAKHOUSE. NCL ESCAPE. (6/8) Norwegian Cruise Line.

On the NCL Escape "free" casino cruise, the Cagney's steakhouse is usually a paid dining venue, but it was a part of the NCL FREE AT SEA promo so I tried it!
FYI the sauce at the Golden Steer is $5 a sauce. if you want Maitre d'Butter, thats also $5.

I give your comedy a 10 and the food an 8; Great video Danny!

[@janruss1078]

You're so funny but honest, great critic!

[@dannythemedic]

thank you! but I am not a critic, these are just vlogs of my experiences I share for entertainment purposes!

[@rollievancleave7753]

Good review. Cagney’s is always my included specialty dining option. Look forward to your review of the Moderno Brazilian steakhouse on NCL.

[@haunted5594]

Your bread goes onto the bread plate, you break bite size pieces off and use the butter knife.

[@dannythemedic]

see? all these "rules and regulations" LOL

[@paigewillow8768]

Correct. You don’t slather it onto the entire slice and eat it. The sliced vegetable on the crab cake was radish.

[@irvingjohnson9244]

I'm learning right along with Danny.

[@dannythemedic]

well, i dont consider it learning... learning is for reality based things.. food eating style is just preference and isnt important

[@irvingjohnson9244]

@@dannythemedic So true!!

[@vonlipi]

The butter is unsalted! There’s always spinach in oysters Rockefeller

[@titasmom678]

And I think the vegetable on top of the crab cake was radish. 🤷🏻‍♀️ If everytime I ate a dish, it tasted the exact same, life would be kind of boring. Live a little and appreciate variety.

[@dannythemedic]

Thank you. My past experience with oyster rockefellers where that the spinach was much less, sometimes blended with the cheese, and the oyster piece was larger...

[@yp3736]

Hi, Danny 👋 I was sitting by the window lol 😆

[@dannythemedic]

and u didnt say hello???

[@yp3736]

I didn't see you at all 😂 and I walked right by you lol 😆

[@andreaontour8961]

I laughed the hole video, you're so funny! 😄🤣😄🤣

[@dannythemedic]

thank u

[@donnanickerson1531]

I LOVE dessert! I would have asked for 2 desserts, lol! :) Great video!

[@vonlipi]

FYI there are onions in French onion soup!

[@dannythemedic]

indeed!

[@totz808]

I've done Cagney's once on a cruise in 2018. I only got one appetizer and one side, didn't know at the time you could get more. The ribeye was pretty good though!

[@dannythemedic]

YES YES, this is why I go through the extra work of asking questions, so viewers can get as much info as possible. I grilled that lady for a good 7 minutes!

[@charlesnichols4689]

Sliced radish on the crab cake Had it many times

[@tony-ce7qp]

Dan he said yes,yes,yes to you a lot thank goodness you put your napkin in your own lap...lol....another fine video!

[@bitterbeauty711]

Finally, an amusing and honest food review

[@steveyu9888]

Looks really good, best video on the cruise so far.

[@rockinmel1]

Desserts at the fine dining places are usually a cut above what they serve elsewhere on the ship. The apple pie might have had actual apple slices! It sounds like NCL are behind the other cruise lines at overall steakhouse food though, so who knows? And as a working man myself, I consider "fine dining" to be like sitting in the deluxe box seats at the ball game - I know seats for $25 where I'm perfectly happy with my experience. But some people NEED that "premium" experience, and if they're willing to pay for it, that's fewer people in front of me in the line at Shake Shack.

[@dannythemedic]

Now I regret not ordering the dessert!

[@Shaknbake]

Better option than the Eh Apps.@@dannythemedic

[@dannythemedic]

i dunno what that means

[@rockinmel1]

@@dannythemedic Maybe they meant "better option than those 'meh' apps (appetizers)."

[@dannythemedic]

ahhh that makes sense!

[@Ryleerae204]

It does look very fancy but your sense of humor is making us laugh and we thank you for that

[@amandalynch7823]

You had me laughing! “And now you have generic butter.” Thank you for posting this! I’m on the Escape in March and I didn’t book Cagneys, so it’s nice to see what they have.

[@Dennis-Hare]

Hey Danny, how could you not know that Oyster's Rockefeller has spinach in it? You can't knock a dish for having the prescribed ingredients, can you? Thank you for sharing.

[@dannythemedic]

i musta misremembered... my other rockefellers must of had less spinach

[@Moksha-Raver]

@@dannythemedic I think you had Oysters Rockefeller in a previous episode.

[@Moksha-Raver]

Let's hope Danny does not find onions in his soup.

[@petepeabody8905]

Mass produced so you can't expect a whole lot.I like the choices on diners, drive ins, and dives

[@patpassi2730]

Oysters Rockefeller always has spinach 😂

[@dannythemedic]

i guess i misremembered.. the last few times seemed like far less spinache

[@TheSpritz0]

DANNY THE MEDIC- The waiter said the butter was UNSALTED (this is mostly meant for people putting on top of steak) you could have asked for the usual SALTED butter…

[@carolpray9816]

😂 I don't know why, but you had me laughing with the bread and butter. It looks like radishes were on top of the crab cake. The crab cake kind of looks like a cross between a crab cake and crab imperial. Oysters Rockefeller is made with spinach. Holy molly, they are some very small oysters. The steak looked delicious. How were the truffle fries?

[@dannythemedic]

triffle fries was 8.5 or 9

[@PatriotChick]

I believe those are sliced radishes on top of the crab cakes DTM

[@dannythemedic]

perhaps.. but they were not good tasting

[@MzLena2You]

I am thinking of traveling NCL for my birthday next August, so I am taking notes. I love the detailed reviews.

[@AllieMcMinnTravels]

I agree I like my steak medium with more charred on the outside

[@lisanorton7963]

It’s dill on the shrimp cocktail

[@gloriataruc8371]

We ate there last month for our Alaska cruise- different ship but still NCL Cruise line! Everything was delicious except the rib eye I ordered was 16 oz! There’s no way I will finish that 16 oz! I was able to eat barely half the rest went to waste! I wish i could have taken it to go! The fried shrimp was delicious!

[@tossedsalad5532]

Glad you did a substitute on the F.O.S. bake to the Shrimp bowl

[@dannythemedic]

me too

[@gailsfoodandstuff]

im glad i have my dinner in front of me, while i watch your video. yummo! 😊

[@TheSpritz0]

DANNY THE MEDIC- The 3 appetizers plus dessert is what I would have chosen- I would have been full anyways and I prefer something sweet after a high-end meal… At least they gave you several options- nice Cruise Line!!! ❤💯👍🛳️

[@imgee7620]

Glad there is no dress code to eat at this fancy restaurant.

[@Shaknbake]

Next cruise do the specialty dining upgrade discount again, if offered? as it was very informative. Good to see your sticking to the DTM budget..

[@dannythemedic]

only for making video yes...

[@susana301301]

You did a great job on this vlog! BIG plate for a small crabcake. The steak must have been good, I could clearly hear you munching.

[@dannythemedic]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@lok4058]

The veg on the crab cake looks like sliced radish.

[@mjs28s]

@10:20 I heard "unsalted" butter. That would be why it tastes strange. Typically unsalted butter is what you bake with not serve like this. Without the salt all you get is a mouthful of fat.

[@dannythemedic]

good point

[@williampiller8132]

Might help to read the menu!

[@dannythemedic]

it might....

[@deb.e.mixedmedia]

Oh my heavens, your comedy was a 9.9! 😂 Glad the steak was good, all the other dishes seemed pretty unimpressive.

[@oregontrailgenxer]

great vlog danny! i wouldve removed radishes off my crab cake too!

[@Jlux823]

When will you do more cruise also think about getting off the ship there are alot of free stuff to do in theemsw places bermuda has free beaches and you can walk with no issues..NCL has new shipa and hace you thought of trying pricess celebrity or virgin my fav is ncl

[@dannythemedic]

I only did them because they were free, and NYC had ports so it was easy. I dont get off ships unless necessary, or unless the weather is nice.. hot humid and sunny just aint me

[@annking8633]

I agree. I wouldn't go there if I had to pay. I'm a regular working gal. I'd seek out the freebies.❤🎉😊

[@PatriotChick]

🥩 looked delish

[@dannythemedic]

it was superior

[@tony-ce7qp]

no pay no pay.....perfect dude!

[@lisanorton7963]

Oh boy

[@eml-0404]

Danny, Oysters Rockefeller ALWAYS comes with spinach inside. Also, they told you the sauce was FREE. NOPE! There was a $3.00 charge on your bill (even though you had a package, the regular guy in that steakhouse had to pay $3.00 for SAUCE, LOL! I'd stick with the buffet on the cruise ship. That way, if you don't like something, there are tons of other things that you can have there instead! Happy Holidays!

[@easystreetwithjen]

Good move with the napkin. They charge extra for grabbing.

[@teesong6801]

Danny you need to get out more! You’re cracking me up!

[@dannythemedic]

please enjoy!

[@AllieMcMinnTravels]

My husband and I are sailing on the NCL Bliss in April to Alaska we booked ocean blue the seafood restaurant and Cagney’s was looking at the onion soup and crab cake not sure now 😮 😅. Maybe they were having I bad day but at least the steak was good !

[@dannythemedic]

we never know what the future may bring! if the cagney sucked, be sure to tell them to not charge your room so you can eat elsewhere~

[@melaniewagner8689]

Wish I was on board with you. I could have told you not to order certain items! But their steak is da bomb!

[@F417H]

Included ☝️

[@johnsain]

Whipped butter

[@joseph6948]

I would have asked the steak to be cooked medium rare and Chicago style sear (on both sides).

[@dannythemedic]

ooo that sounds so good that I need to google it! found it! yum!

[@lilbaby9863]

DTM I think the chef from O'sheehan's Pub is following you. He used the broth from your beef & vegetable soup that you did not finish to create your baked onion soup and used unfinished lemonades for the hollandaise sauce. He also knows you don't like vegetables, so he put them on every dish to look like a garnish. He sure knows how to cook a nice steak though.

[@user-rk1zz1xy9h]

When were you on the cruise? Just curious about the menu because looks like they took off the Porterhouse surcharge if this is a new video.

[@dannythemedic]

middl of nov

[@bettynesbitt4503]

Love me some Danny❤❤❤❤

[@sherrielson517]

I'm pretty sure they let the steak rest in the kitchen so you don't have to otherwise you'll be eating a cold steak !! I Love how you remind me of Roger Rabbit😂

[@mikec2495]

Too fancy for your taste

[@dannythemedic]

indeed sir... I much prefer panda express

[@HateDietPepsi]

Potato Potato sides. Should of gotten the Frenchy Fries and the garlic mushrooms. Probably whipped European butter.

[@shellystewart9023]

OMG DTM if i was your waitress i would throw everything at you lmao...At 13 i worked at a little truck stop after school and i can tell you when they were taking up our time..... well eat it up butter cup !!! lol they loved it. Hehehe or i would get the cook AKA the owner. Best job of my life! Better then engineering even lol

[@georgeapplegate9141]

Hey Danny, how were the truffle fries? We tried those at STK in Vegas and were great. Wondering how those compared on the cruise?

[@dannythemedic]

8.5, fresh n hot.

[@miltongee1627]

Last year on NCL. I was charged extra for the crab cake. I'm going next month on the NCL Prima on new year. I'm going to eat at the steak house. I hope they don't charged me extra.

[@dannythemedic]

just ask in advance

[@miltongee1627]

I'll try that. I'll let you know if I still get that surcharge. I like crab cake and rib eye steak. For me rare still moving.

[@marciasanguinetti3900]

Such fun and mock critical videos you gift us with ! I hate to be the barer of bad news, but there isn't an oysters rockafella that does not have spinach :-). Bacon too YUM. Thanks for your humor !!! m.

Sponge Bob was working in the kitchen and made that crab cake for you...

[@PatriotChick]

Looks like whipped 🧈 DTM

[@kevwwong]

So if I assume that the gratuity is at 18% (not unusual for cruise ships), the dinner would be $72... which I get is not bad if you were to look at the a la carte menu at a fancy steakhouse. BUT a look at the menu of the Ruth's Chris in my area shows $89 CDN for a starter/entree/side/dessert. So it doesn't seem like great value on it's own and Danny was getting a bargain by only paying the tip. Glad you asked for a replacement for the soup. Never hurts to ask, especially since it's obvious that you haven't had much of it.

[@dannythemedic]

I just looked up ruth chris, the ones near me says $$$$ as the price category! I might try them at the next restaurant week deal, photos from google shows dinner then to be 40 bucks 4 years ago.

[@kevwwong]

@@dannythemedic Yep, it's pricey. But that's the type of steakhouse Cagney's is trying to emulate, so it made sense to me to do that price comparison. Definitely not an everyday meal. But maybe that can be the next subscriber milestone special?

[@cafe88racer53]

$116 nuts lol

[@LValways]

Food on cruises are mass production. Can't compare to specialized restaurants. It's just buffet foods.

Crude comment regarding placement of napkin. What happened to the béarnaise sauce to go with the steak?

[@dannythemedic]

was it not the stainless thing next to the tomato?

[@philipyow3452]

I'm glad the price and the steak were good. A steak restaurant should specialize in steaks. Good information to that you can ask the front desk girl if you change get another appetizer instead of a dessert. I hear that tip is paid in advance before the cruise starts. You didn't really have to pay the tip at the restaurant, did you?

[@dannythemedic]

yes, they charged me the gratuity for this specific meal when I booked the cruise. this was in addition to the 20 a day gratuity

Dan, you never had whipped butter before??? I assume you haven’t tried whipped cream cheese either? Most popular soup is lobster bisque. Le Bristo is much better than Cagney’s imo.

[@dannythemedic]

I had whipped butter from a tub (supermarket) but this butter in the video was very different even from that... more watery like cottage cheese? it was really really soft and it wasnt even that warm in the dining room... never had butter like that before

[@cameroncurrie7208]

I see why it was free. At least the steak was good. Enjoy.

[@LValways]

H😂 soon as you docked at NYC you'll run to dim sum.
