Creator's Key Takeaways
The fillet man is the star here. Order it medium rare to unlock its peak flavor.
Skip the chaotic buffet lines and come here for breakfast. You get a quiet sit-down meal with the same ocean view, completely free.
Warning, this is the first venue to sell out. So, if you don't book this on the first day of your cruise, you might not get in.
