Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Chops Grille on Voyager of the Seas | Lunch vs Dinner | Royal Caribbean Review

by | Feb 5, 2026 | | 0 |

Next in our Voyager of the Seas Specialty Dining Series, we’re heading into Chops Grille — and wow… this one had some serious highs and LOWS 🥩😬

Join Deb and Matt as they take you on a detailed cruise vlog journey through the specialty dining experience at Chops Restaurant on Voyager of the Seas. This episode covers both lunch and dinner, providing a comprehensive look at the menu options and our honest opinions on the exquisite cruise food. Get ready for an in-depth review of Royal Caribbean specialty dining!

In this video, we review Chops Grille Dinner first, breaking down:

The dinner menu

🔍Starters and the famous lobster bisque
🔍A steak moment that had us saying “WOW WOW WOW”
🔍NY Strip, desserts… and a few cracks starting to show

Then we return for Chops Grille Lunch, where things take a turn:

🔍The Wagyu burger
🔍Filet mignon
🔍Missing sauce
🔍Questionable service
🔍And yes… we ask: “Is it still worth it?”

We finish with our honest verdict — including value, consistency, and whether Chops deserves your specialty dining dollars on Voyager of the Seas.

This video is part of our 3-part Voyager of the Seas Specialty Dining Series, also featuring:

🍣Izumi (Lunch vs Dinner)
🍝Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen (coming next)
