The Ship's Company is located in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island, in the heart of all the tourist attractions. In Cavendish there are about 4 different places where you can play mini-golf, and there is also a roller coaster that was previously located at Crystal Palace in Moncton, N.B. If you were ever wondering where that roller coaster went, it went to Cavendish. There is also a scary haunted house, delicious Cows ice cream, and seafood! In our second trip to Cavendish together, we found some time to do some nacho research and we returned to a place where we had previously enjoyed their nachos.
Distribution of Toppings
We ordered the BBQ Chicken Nachos and we received the Garden Nachos. We advised the server that we received the wrong nachos and they gave us the correct ones. Both plates of nachos had a very poor distribution of toppings. We asked for extra cheese and there was still very little cheese on the nachos.
Quality
I love extra cheese, but I also love it when they mix two different types of cheeses to give a recipe of excellence. I mentioned in the 2019 entry that there were 5 different dips but in 2023 there was just a small salsa and a sour cream offered for dips. However, the nachos were well toasted and the top layer tasted great. The BBQ sauce was sweet, spicy, and delicious. They had the traditional triangular chips which I always enjoy.
Value
The Garden nachos are $18 and the BBQ Chicken nachos are $22. This is not a great value considering the poor distribution of toppings and the quality.
Quantity
I shared the plate of nachos and I was full afterwards. This is sufficient to share as a meal for two.
Conclusion
Unfortunately I had to re-write my whole blog entry for this place as our experience in 2019 to 2023 was like night and day. The distribution of toppings was poor even after we received the wrong plate and asked for extra cheese, the value was poor and the quality was fair. We did have some good nachos elsewhere in the summer of 2023, but I was disappointed with this place.
