Found on: Regent Seven Seas Cruises

Why We Love It: Aside from beef certified USDA Prime and dry aged at least 28 days, what sets this refined steakhouse apart is that it doesn't cost extra. Available on all ships, Prime 7 offers steakhouse classics such as filet mignon and sirloin, plus a few twists (foie gras sliders anyone?), and seafood for the less carnivorous.

Fees: None

Found on: Azamara Club Cruises

Why We Love It: At this wood-paneled steakhouse on Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest, guests can go all-out and order a 16-ounce rib eye — or opt for shrimp, halibut, or even vegetarian options. Save room for dessert: The mini cinnamon donuts with dipping sauces are addictive.

Found on: Celebrity Cruises

Why We Love It: Sure, you’re on vacation, but that doesn't mean you won’t feel the urge to toss a steak on the grill and cook it the way you like it.

Fees: Additional charge required.

Found on: Princess Cruises

Fees: Additional charge required.
