🚢 Cruise Fine Dining… or Just a Fancy Upcharge? 🍽️💰

Ever wonder if that premium steak at the specialty restaurant is really worth the price? 🤔 Turns out, the steak at Chops Grille is the SAME cut as what’s served in the main dining room. 😳 You’re paying extra for the grill marks and a fancier plate—but not better meat.

For $65, I expected something next level, but instead, I got the same Angus steak they serve downstairs. Sure, the ambiance is nice, but is it worth the upcharge when you can get the same quality for free?

Why Greek Food is the Ultimate Way to Dine

Picture this: a table overflowing with bowls of creamy tzatziki, golden spanakopita, sizzling souvlaki, and that irresistible basket of pita bread. Now imagine everyone reaching in, sharing plates, and swapping stories. That’s the magic of Greek food!

Forget boring single plates—Greek cuisine is all about piling the table high with dishes meant to share. It’s hands-on, lively, and the perfect excuse to gather your crew. Passing around platters and diving into bowls turns a meal into a party. Conversations flow, laughter fills the air, and you leave not just full, but with memories to savor.

So grab your friends, pour the ouzo (or wine), and get ready for a feast that’s about more than just food—it’s about connection, celebration, and a whole lot of “OPA!” @santorinigreektaverna_ #yycfood #yycfoodie
