Cagney's menu: Norwegian Cruise Line's steakhouse offerings

Carnivores, ready your appetites. Cagney's, Norwegian Cruise Line's steakhouse, offers a delicious menu of options for meat eaters in the market for a decadent dinner.

On NCL, Cagney's menu items are some of the best in the fleet, and they're served in an upscale atmosphere, evoking a decidedly "Mad Men" feel on many ships.

Here's everything you need to know about the restaurant, from the official Cagney's Steakhouse menu to pricing and a list of ships where you can find the venue. Whether you're thinking of dining at Cagney's for a special occasion or just because you adore a great steak, this guide will help you to determine whether a meal there is worth the splurge.

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.
