booked on the Escape with the “free at Sea” dining package of 3 dinners. Anyone know what the restrictions are sinc many if the restaurants are ala carte?

The far better place for your research would be the NCL board, here:

You will get better info on the second for the cruise line.

I had that perk when I last sailed NCL. I believe it was limited to 1 main course. I don't think they limited how many appetizers though. Not sure what the fine print says, but that was my experience.

As the Terms and Conditions of NCL's booking perks constantly change the best source is the written disclaimers currently on the NCL web site, not other cruisers' past experiences as found on the NCL boards.
