Creator's Key Takeaways

One of the misses was the the calamari, the squid. So, if you want fresh calamari, this is not where you're going to go. It is frozen.

The other real big hit was the arancini, the truffle arancini. Those are little these little rice balls. Now, what I was really impressed about it was it kind of reminded me of my grandmother's.

The carbonara. Now, the carbonara, they've used penne in this, so that was one weird thing. ... I don't know how you could even call it a carbonara.

I really enjoyed them. The desserts were one of my favorite parts at Jamie's Italian.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“If you have the unlimited dining package, definitely go to Jamie's Italian.
βœ“If you're going to just go in as a one-off, choose a different specialty restaurant.
βœ“Get the arancini if you go on the ship.

YouTube Video Description↓

My family and I boarded Navigator of the seas on April 4th 2022 and had a meal at Jamie's Italian. So we all know what that means! It's time for a full on review of Jamie's Italian! I'm 100% Italian, so you are going to get a prospective of someone who grew up with authentic Italian food. Both sets of my grand parents were amazing cooks, as well as my mom and I learned how to cook from them, so I'm a little spoiled and hard to please when I go out for Italian food. If I can make it better, I would not be a happy cruiser.
