We reviewed NCL's most famous specialty dining restaurant on their newest Prima Plus class cruise ship and rated it just 5 out of 10. In this honest Norwegian Aqua food review, we break down every dish — from the shrimp cocktail and wedge salad to the signature Cagney steak, sides, and desserts — and compare this experience to our past Cagney's Steakhouse visits on the Encore, Escape, Gem, Pearl, Getaway, and Breakaway.
The quality decline we found appears to affect the entire NCL Prima and Prima Plus class — that means the Norwegian Prima, Norwegian Viva, Norwegian Aqua, and the upcoming Norwegian Luna may all share the same issue. If you're booking NCL specialty dining on any of these ships, watch this first.
🥩 What We Ordered at Cagney's Steakhouse:
Shrimp Cocktail
Wedge Salad
Crab Cake
Cagney Steak
Seven Layer Chocolate Cake
Butterscotch Caramel Cheesecake
Raspberry Crème Brûlée
Apple Pie Strudel
💰 Is NCL specialty dining worth the price? We compare Cagney's Steakhouse to the free Indulge Food Hall on the Norwegian Aqua so you can decide what's actually worth your money on your next Norwegian Cruise Line vacation.
The Norwegian Aqua is identical to the NCL Luna launching now — so this cruise food review applies to both ships.
