    Going on my first NCL cruise in a couple of months, so this was helpful. Thanks!

    In O'Sheehans the Reuben sandwich is a must try, every once in awhile they have lamb shanks, omg perfection.

    Thank you for confirming my suspicions about Teppanyaki and Cucina. We cruised Sail Away Fare last time and paid cash for Cagney's. It was good; I would compare it to Outback Steakhouse. This time we are doing the Free At Sea and get 2 meals. We are doing Moderno and Le Bistro. Thank you for making the video.

      Heres the thing… we went to all of the fine dining cucina is amazing just dont get what you think would be the best we got the veal oso bocco it was the best ive ever had! Le bistro is by far the absolute best

    This is SO useful to know that there's always somewhere to get food that doesn't cost extra on the ship, 24 hours a day. Not having that available was one of my biggest complaints about our Royal Caribbean cruise.

    • @paulgerrard9227
      @paulgerrard9227 ปีที่แล้ว

      Few cruise lines offer 24hr dining and food options . Its a health and lifestyle concern to overeat 4 meals daily and wasteful etc. Crew shifts would add to costs

    • @inthegreatwide
      @inthegreatwide ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@paulgerrard9227 Some of us have different eating schedules, which could be due to things like cultural differences or job schedules, and there are also plenty of people who travel to cruise ships from other time zones, so insinuating that we should be concerned about our health and lifestyle because I want there to be food available when I'm hungry is pretty ridiculous.

    In the dinning rooms you may ask for an appetizer to be served as an entree, NCL is very flexible.

    This was soooooooo helpful! You guys rock! I tailored my dining plan due to this video. Thank you so much, from a couple of new NCL cruisers;)

    O'Sheehan might be called the Local depending on the ship. Apparently it was named after the ex CEO so newer ships are The Local. Possibly newly renovated ships too.
    Food should be the same though.
    Thanks for the great content!

    Newbie here..you SHOULD explain WHAT the main dining room restaurants are. Also dress codes would be good to know.

    • @johnhughes3585
      @johnhughes3585 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Depends on ship . Usually two main dining rooms. One casual one no shorts.
      On way he Star Versailles is the formal one. Most of people he specialty restaurants are resort casual. May n dining are complimentary

    • @greensam7074

      Obviously Cathy, they are talking generally about NCL Main dining rooms across the NCL fleet and not a specific dining room on a specific ship.

    Your video is so helpful to my wife and I. We have sailed Carnival several times and decided to try another cruise line experience and chose NCL. You covered many of the questions we have. Carnival is always quite "lively" which can be fun. We're hoping to have a balance of fun and moments to relax. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us! You gained a new subscriber here!

    The Asian fusion has some great dishes, spicy seafood udon noodles, a must try

      I was surprised that dish was so spicy. Very good but be careful.

    @jlawrence0181 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    If you do not have some kind of specialty dining package and you are paying the full price in the app for the Brazilian steakhouse ($70.90), it would probably be better to try a Brazilian steakhouse in a major city where they range from $35-63 pp for a very similar meal.

    We were on the Bliss in October we are at Cagneys, the Mexican restaurant, the Italian and Tapinyaki. Cagneys was our least favorite, the Mexican and La Cuchina our favorite and Tapinyaki was good but shouldn't have used our dinning for that as the price was not that high.

  • @freeagent8225
    @freeagent8225 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I've just booked my expectations are so low, so hopefully I won't be disappointed. I just like being at sea. I like to watch the ' professional ' eaters on a cruise.

    I just came back from NCL Epic Mediterranean cruise and the food in Moderna Brazilian restaurant was very disappointing !! I had very bad lamb chops and leg of lamb ! The food in MDR was better. Some waiters have cold attitudes and others very friendly (One even cut my steak on the plate)

    Nicely done. Hated O’Sheenes. I will try it again. The burger looked great. I agree some of the Premium are worth it. I skip Cagneys. I found the steaks are better in some of the other restaurant. Keep it up.

    @thenitruc8165 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I stayed on the Breakaway and the main dining rooms were hardly edible. We got the premium dining package and was amazing. But the main dining room was horrible. I have a RC cruise booked and people say the food is a lot better. We will see

    A ship is a large vessel intended for oceangoing or at least deep-water transport, and a boat is anything else.

  • @deanfuller711
    @deanfuller711 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Cagney's was horrible the last time we went pre-pandemic. Both my wife and I said Texas Roadhouse was better. We were so disappointed. We vowed never to waste our time there again.

    It seems like so much of this information is specific to a particular ship, but you never say what ship you were on and instead claim to be covering all of NCL. But all the ships have different venues, and even the venues that they do have in common have different personnel and are not all of the same quality.

  • @TeachHiddenInTheLeaves
    @TeachHiddenInTheLeaves 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    The food on NCL is TERRIBLE. The dining room food was garbage, same with the buffet. The specialty dining is the only way to go.

  • @tonylarussa4046
    @tonylarussa4046 ปีที่แล้ว

    The "free food" on a cruise ship is paid for when you pay for your cruise fare. It is factored into the price of the cruise. There is no such thing as free.

    • @JulieWallis1963
      @JulieWallis1963 ปีที่แล้ว

      Don’t be so pedantic. Everyone *knows* it’s not _free_ but it’s complimentary.
      Don’t be pedantic, nobody likes an arsehole!
