What is Cagney’s Steakhouse on Norwegian Cruise Line?
Cagney’s is NCL’s steakhouse, and it’s one of several onboard restaurants for which you’ll pay extra. As you might have guessed, its focus is on steak and other options that are heavy on meat and seafood.
Reservations are almost always a must at Cagney’s. Upon arrival, a host will show you to your table, where you’ll receive a menu, including a selection of wines. A sommelier will stop by to take your order and make suggestions if you’re stuck on what to pair with your meal.
Decor varies from ship to ship, but the vibe on the line’s newest vessels is straight out of the midcentury modern movement. It’s reminiscent of a place where high-powered business executives would dine in the 1950s.
Cagney’s is open for dinner only, and you might want to consider dressing up a bit. Although there’s no official dress code, and the setting certainly isn’t formal, you might feel out of place in overly casual clothing.

The seafood menu comprises steelhead trout, jumbo shrimp and a fisherman’s platter (shrimp, scallops, calamari, branzino and a crab cake). You can add a lobster tail to any main for an extra fee.
All steak selections come with a choice of sauces: bearnaise, green peppercorn, chimichurri, port wine jus, house-made steak sauce and butter.
Sides include potatoes several ways (including to-die-for truffle fries), onion rings, grilled zucchini, creamed spinach, steamed broccoli, sauteed garlic mushrooms and risotto.
Be sure to save room for dessert. The menu entices with items that might include raspberry creme brulee, seven-layer chocolate cake, apple pie with vanilla ice cream, Oreo cookie cheesecake and warm blueberry oatmeal crisp.
As there are extremely limited selections that don’t include meat and fish, vegetarians and vegans will likely want to steer clear of this eatery.
