$20 vs $200 Cruise Ship Food: WORTH IT or TOTAL SCAM?? | NCL Aqua

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators evaluate the specialty dining options on the NCL Aqua by testing three restaurants at different price points to determine if the higher costs translate to superior quality. They begin at Los Cabos, a Mexican restaurant priced at approximately forty dollars, where they praise the tableside guacamole and the mole chicken. The second stop is Suko Thai, a mid-range option featuring an open kitchen concept. While they enjoy the appetizers and several desserts, the creators find the main courses somewhat inconsistent. The final test is Le Bistro, a French restaurant costing one hundred forty dollars per person. They note the elevated decor and high quality of the French onion soup and petite fillet, though they find the desserts to be hit or miss. Ultimately, both creators conclude that the Mexican restaurant is the worth it winner. They determine that while the French restaurant offers a more elevated experience, the Mexican restaurant provides the best value and most consistent enjoyment for the price.

Yo, fam, this is a 10 out of 10.
I'm going to go with the Mexican restaurant as well.
It has been some of the best food that we've had at CE. It's on par with Virgin.
