Lovetocruise2002 Posted July 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 Dinner at Hooked tonight. I am not quite sure what to say about this. Dinner was good, but it was not great. None of the dishes really stood out to us. There was nothing wrong with them, just nothing that we feel like we would need to return for. My favourite was probably the grilled salmon. Hubby really liked the Lobster Mac n Cheese. After dinner they brought out a slice of coconut cream pie to celebrate with us .

This is also our opinion of Hooked and we are huge seafood lovers. We love oysters on the half shell and the ones at Hooked are just - meh. IMO Hooked is to seafood as Sabor is (was) to Latin cuisine. They are just nebulous shadows of what they could be. I'm sure this mediocrity falls into the "we can't please everyone so we will please a few" category. Nice try but really....ummm...no.

Ampurp85 Posted July 28, 2023 Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 I went in with low expectations of Hooked because I don't eat seafood, so it wasn't bad to me. But I can see how it won't appeal to the true seafood lover. IMHO Royal does not do themes well. Like I am looking forward to Mason jar because its different but as someone who has southern family and gets southern cooking on the major holidays, I know it won't compare. Side note, I don't know if that was a dress or skirt, but I love the pattern, it is so cute.

Lovetocruise2002 Posted July 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 Backtracking a bit. Before Hubby got sucked into the watches, we had brunch at the Mason Jar. This is probably my favourite restaurant on this ship! The crew here is so chill and personable. The food was great once again. I really liked the saltine crackers with whatever dip it came with. We also tried the Deviled Eggs, Fried Chicken n Waffles, Blueberry Johnny Cakes, got the Charred Watermelon Salad again, and we finished with the Cinnamon roll. We loved every single dish today. So much so that we asked Hannah to move our lunch/brunch plans back to Mason Jar tomorrow for one last time. asquared17, CruzOnBye, Sweety and 13 others 11 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you enjoyed it (and jealous you're having it two days in a row, lol). Sadly, when I logged into my RC account today I noticed the brunch base price went up from $24.99 to $34.99 (so $21.99 pre-cruise is now $30.99 with the usual 10% off). The only good news is I had already booked it for our cruise in March b/c times were disappearing for the day we wanted. We'll be D+ after that and plan to use our BOGO on it.
