Editorial Summary

The creators embark on a culinary experiment aboard the MSC World America, testing every specialty restaurant to rank them from worst to best. They begin with a baseline test in the main dining room, Escano, which they find underwhelming due to poor quality tomato soup and overcooked lasagna. Moving to specialty dining, they visit Butcher's Cut, where they praise the steak and dessert but criticize the lack of privacy due to the seating location. At Paxos, the Greek restaurant, they find the atmosphere beautiful and the pita highly rated, though the falafel falls short. The experience improves at Ola Cantina, where the tacos and rice pudding receive high marks for flavor and service. The creators then visit Kato Kai for a hibachi experience, noting that the Wagyu beef and ginger ice cream are standout dishes. Finally, they dine at an Italian restaurant, enjoying the fresh pasta and high-quality plating, though they find the dessert textures inconsistent. Ultimately, they conclude that while Ola Cantina was their emotional favorite, the hibachi experience provided some of the highest statistical ratings.

Creator's Key Takeaways

We're going to rank them from worst to best and see what's up because MSE food is not supposed to be great, but let's see if it's worth it.

The baseline is pretty low. Hopefully, it's only up from here.

This is better than chops. This is a 9 out of 10 steak for me.

This place was amazing. Probably one of my favorite places on this trip.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Consider the dining package for specialty restaurants to get a full meal at a better value.
