puddles99 Posted June 20, 2013 #3 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Absolutely not. If they choose to order from the adult menu (and are 12 & under), they pay half the cover charge. If they choose to order from the kids menu, there is no cover charge.

Twelvevman Posted June 20, 2013 #7 Share Posted June 20, 2013 There is a standard kids menu in the MDR. This has the typical chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, PB&J, hot dog, etc. Kids can order off this menu in the specialty restaurants and there is no charge. The specialty restaurants have their own kid's menu which have smaller portions of the adult menu items. This menu is 1/2 price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowbiter Posted June 21, 2013 #8 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Not related but I actually like the Mac and cheese they give the kids. Cruise lines don't understand the concept of cheese fries. Sometimes I need the Mac and cheese for a cheese fix ;) (and I know its fake cheese but it is better than nothing) Sent from my SPH-L710 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMH15 Posted June 21, 2013 #9 Share Posted June 21, 2013 My niece was 5 or 6 and I don't think she ever ate off a kids menu. She loved asaragus, tomatoes and such to french fries and mac and cheese. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycomac Posted June 21, 2013 #10 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I'm really hoping by the time that our cruise comes around, DD will be more receptive to trying new things. She'll be just over 4 1/2 then and right now if it's not something she's readily familiar with, she won't try it. Usually I can get her to try something if she likes the way it smells but if it's a texture she isn't expecting she'll spit it out, even if she likes the taste. So I'm really hoping a switch flips or something lol. I don't expect her to try oysters or escargot but some of the veggies and other things I'm hoping she'll give a chance.

Mom2B&Z Posted June 21, 2013 #11 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Our experience was at Le a bistro on the Jewel, and they had a separate children's specialty menu. Ds1 had pork tenderloin that wasn't on the adult menu (or regular children's menu) that was the best meal served that night! My children are fairly adventurous eaters and the NCL crew have been very accommodating, even bringing extra plates of calamari ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because I think it's interesting:)...kids do this because ages ago it protected them from accidentally being poisoned by something they didn't recognize. They also have taste buds more sensitive to oxalic acid, a poison in large quantities, in bitter foods like spinach. So, while I certainly encourage my kids to try new things and eat lots of veggies, it helps to know why they can be the way they are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momofthreeprincesses Posted February 27, 2014 #15 Share Posted February 27, 2014 In the main dining rooms can they order off the regular menus as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsak123 Posted February 27, 2014 #16 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I think the only requirement NCL has is that you wear clothing in the public areas Other than that ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stsbj Posted February 28, 2014 #20 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Does anyone know if the kids can order from the kids menu for the Cirque show? Is there a pasta option instead of the surf and turf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
